For Fudges sakes, just caught the last paragraph of the article.
1: It isnt tough when its his job. how many ways can you press a button? If there are too many ways, then TRAIN HIM.
2: You normally wouldn't expect the operations to have such major fudge ups, and with the stakeholders involved and the sport trying to gain traction I would expect more than the CEO to just comment. How about fix them?
3: We aren't asking for major changes, we are asking that you do what you are currently supposed to bloody do.
How about a little accountability. Its his job to run the show, his job to make sure his subordinates are doing their jobs, and their jobs to make sure their subordinates do their job etc. If one of them isnt then it's everyone up that chains fudgeing fault.
ARGH I'm angry.
Just say you fudgeed up and your sorry.
