slung in my RUK membership (one too many giggles from Olivia

Why oh why did they choose this week to bring in the new rules ?
Roy seemingly out of his depth.

He's exactly right. RUK have been an utter disgrace hyping this up since it happened. Keep saying they shouldn't be talking about it but going on and on and on about it.
I'd prefer to hear about Frankel, not all this crap.

cANT HE SAY HE HAS MADE A BALLS UP OF THE WHOLE THING . 
Hates being interrupted doesn't he. What an unpleasant character.

Are they supposed to ignore it ?
It is the biggest topic in racing at the moment.

"everyone rises to their level of incompetence" - just been proved again
Don't think Darley should be in charge of the PJA - he's clueless and a bit of a yes man.
well, you can certainly see why the levy talks failed !

just can't admit it was a b alls up....fat fu ckin w@nker
never admit you made a mistake - and just move onto the next CEO's job
It was mentioned in several quarters beforeand that this was the wrong week to bring it in,Alain.
I reckon they spoke to about 4 of their chums who all agreed and said yes Paul - that's great - he describes that as talking to everybody within the sport.
I knew it he worked in finance/investments another banker messing things up
Shouldn't have been ignored, but the whole second half of their coverage has been about it, I like watching racing, not three people who agree with each other spouting their views for well over an hour.
They might be completely correct in their views, but there was no balance to their views and looked like three bullies getting free air time.

Don't think the BHA did anything wrong. Jocks and Trainers are a joke. Nicholls one day says give new rules a chance next says they should be scarpped
shambles of a man. nicholls wont say anything opinionated because roy is a chum of andy stewarts and part owns a horse in his yard

And here they go again, still going on about it ffs
as i said in the week, i look forward to the day when ruk show this sort of concern for issues affecting punters
If what he implied in his interview is correct , there is little hope for racing in UK . If all the people claimed to have had input to the recent rubbish decision are as said , a whole lot of people throughout UK racing are bonkers .
There is a bean counter somewhere in the equation , how much money has been witheld in the last week or so , and where does it go . To horse charity ? Doubt it .

only one thing certain about the whole episode,if they make it 5,6,7,8,whatever in the big,uns jockeys will always give them an extra one if it can make the difference between winning and losing
Andrew Balding said so much sense in todays RP when he said it should have been trialled during the AW season when less media attention is upon racing and its effects could have been better analysed. The only downside to that would appear to be that so few dignitaries within racing seem capable of listening to others who are in the frontline such as trainers and jockeys.
Maybe the rest of the world's Horses are different then??
Time to go Mr Roy.....

Paul Roy needs to resign, or at least admit he is very much to blame and caused a huge embarrassement to the sport he is supposed to be 'governing'.
Problems like this come from the top - so he must take the blame.
This is the same guy that didnt think it was a 'conflict of interests' to become a major shareholder in Betfair - a complete and utter joke, and there are more shady episodes in his closet - including the way he treated Harry Findlay in his legal issues with the sport - again, a PR and moral disgrace.
These things probably seem a good idea from his boardroom, but in the light of day - im afraid he just hasnt a clue.
In the same way The FA are to blame for the shambles of English footy a few years ago. If you asked 1000 'football people' who should be the next England manager a few years ago, how many would have said 'hmmm Steve Mclaren' - haha, id estimate less than 100, less than 10%. Its the same here. If you were to ask 1000 racing people, who would have agreed to these rules- probably less than 10% again!
In fact, if you asked these 1000 people who they preferred running the sport - a stuck up clueless businessman like Roy, are someone from a racing background or proper interests in the sport - the results again would be decisive.

so your advocating someone off the gravey train ,after this forum have been advocating independant outside people for everypost in racing nearly
A person with a large ego will never admit they are wrong.
Good point ftp, the sport does need someone from outside who isn't part of a factional interest. Roy may not be the right man though. The sport is also quick to criticise but the benefit of hindsight is working here too as quite a few higher profile people stayed quiet until this week. Richard Hughes even advocated giving the rules a chance in his column last week,I believe ?
This was feeble beyond belief.
Firstly, as I have pointed out previously and Celtic Son has endorsed above, RUK have done nothing but fuel the fire from the outset. If Roy had anything about him he would have challenged Luck over the issue. He did nothing.
Where was the defence of the rules which they had taken months to devise? There was none. All we got was I have a had a lovely chat with Richard Hughes.
Why not just hand Richard Hughes a blank piece of paper, ask him what he wants and then just change all the rules on Monday?
