Mr Chamberlin is in a similar position in horseracing as Mr Southgate in football. They are sh1t at their respective job yet the decision-makers put them there because of their "suitability" with sponsors or non-elected individuals of the sport despite lacking the know-how and credence.This is the world we live in at the moment. It's not about what you know, but more importantly who you know to get you the job; cronyism is the fastest way to an erosion, professionalism and a spiral decline of the sport.
I certainly agree with that statement imp123, about ''not what you know but who you know''.
That's in all walks of life, My daughter is a trained actress, 3 years at a top Drama school and struggles for work,
While actors like Dani Dyer who's Dad is Danny Dyer never went to drama school and got in TV because of her dad.
that happens all over the TV/Film industry. Luckily she has a good job within the theatre doing other roles.
She also went for an advert along with 43 others, got into the last 2 with a non white girl with no drama training and you can guess who got the gig.
Her agent said it's box ticking. It is unfair.

'dambuster', I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope your daughter gets a break in acting soon. Just chin up and soldier on is my motto. The break will come (eventually).Has anyone ever watched Michael McIntyre comedy roadshow? I watched it once a long time ago, and it was pants. But, it's still on BBC for another stint.
Cheers imp123. that's the same with Miranda and Mrs Browns boys, how on earth they kept getting more series was beyond me.
Another is Wicked with 2 great actors in Sir Ian Mckellen and Derek Jacobi, why are they doing it.? its pants imo.
