The thing with Gaz I reckon, is that at the heart of his outbursts, or the aim of them, there is a kernel of truth or an undoubted issue that needs to be addressed.

His MO is to bag all and sundry sometimes with justification, often with some shonky assumptions and hope that a response is elicited from aggrieved/accused parties.

I think this approach only works when you are in a position of power (or wealth).  The rest of us have to adopt more negotiated approaches.  Gaz wouldn't be in the diplomatic corps for example.

I was thinking the exact same thing when reading this. He has gone in with a blunderbuss in attempt to really spotlight it - whether that is for his benefit or the games benefit, who knows with Gareth. He is definitely trying to solicit a response. Whether that is from the current folk or hoping it catches the eye of the new CEO/next chairman... at the very least, when the MSM or anyone else says 'Why aren't you working with the Phoenix/NZF?', Gareth has a public position that he has tried over and over again (whether that is true or not, who knows) so has the high ground in the battle.

I don't doubt his heart is in the right place. I guess like others, maybe it is time he puts up and tries to get on the board if he is as well meaning as he says. Effect change from within scenario.
