Rob Andrew

I might be out of touch with the intricacies and the finer points in the argument, or should I say arguments, between the RFU and the clubs, but surely there is one man ideally placed to fix it ASAP.
Rob Andrew.
He spent ten years in charge of Newcastle RFC, and in those years he had his fair share of run ins with the RFU! He fought the clubs corner as hard of not harder than anyone. He has been critical of all sorts of aspects of the RFU, from the behaviour of Sir Clive to the treatment of his beloved Falcon players!
So he knows all the arguments, all the grievances, all the mistrust that the clubs hold against the RFU.
And now he is the top man at the RFU. The top man. In charge of all on field aspects of the game. In charge! Sole charge. No one to answer to, he is THE man.
He has had five months plus to get his feet under the table, to work out the politics, to hear the RFU side, to get a balanced view.
so it's perfect isn't it??????
Here is an ex club man, a highly experienced club man, highly versed in the art of fighting the RFU, and as a result highly trusted by the other club men!
He is now up to date with the RFU take on the situation, and as an ex Cambridge graduate, so bright !!!, quite capable of resolving this situation within a few weeks.
Which leaves me confused. Aren't you? Rob is in charge, isn't he? So if he is, why has he not stood up, called the clubs together, his old colleagues, and sorted the whole pathetic mess out for all of us. Why not???
Is he not in charge? If he isn't, who is, and why are we continually led to believe that he is?? is it Francis Baron? And if it is, why has Rob not informed us of such, and why is Francis not holding public press briefings and being quoted on a regular basis?? He was quick enough to blame Robinson and keep his back safe wasn't he?? Quick enough to be public then!!!
But if it is not Baron, who else??? Martyn Thomas??? Surely not!!!! I know the RFU have their problems but surely that would be just too much!!!! The man is embarrassing! Enough said.
So it comes back to Rob. Good guy. A mate. But..........!
He has taken on the job. It is now time to stand up and be counted. Time to stand up, tell all the blundering idiots to shut up, grow up and bloody stay out of it. Time to stick his neck on the line and make the call. Time to earn his money, use his experience and put an end to this embarrassing public fight between gin soaked old men who have completely lost track of what is important and have made that fatal and pathetic mistake of thinking that they are!!!
It is time for him to be the number one man. To be the Boss. And I just hope like hell that he has the balls to do it.
