Given that Robert Elstone can command a £500k salary from any number of football clubs and businesses with interests in sport, you can be sure that he's not at SL for the pay cheque. His BIG job is delivering an improved TV deal when the rights come up in a couple of years. He will be spending the time in the build-up to that negotiation working on that mission above all others. Fans are quick to criticise RL for short-term thinking: that's not why Robert was brought in. This is a 3-5 year project AT LEAST as all strategic marketing policies should be. Give the bloke time.
Have to agree. Carter at Wakefield appeared to be rubbish in his first two seasons. Little did we know the excellent work he was doing behind the scenes. To go forward sometime you need to or at least appear to go backwards. This guy may fail but he’s no mug and he’ll give it his best shot I’m sure.
