Okay, so you don't care.

But your argument is without merit.

If the person appointed would have been the best candidate he would get the job in any event. If there was a better candidate who should and would have got the job, the process has effectively damaged Newport County.

You might not care. I do.

I don't care as I feel we've done well this time. As we did with Flynn.

the job wasnt advertised the guy was headhunted because of the poor quality of applicants last time

I was going to put a 'maybe' before the 'has a speciality' then of course as you point out my argument would have been flawed. (Maybe).

I look forward to reading what Exile 76 has to say about that.

You know about all the applications? You read them? You sat in on the interviews?

Sorry mate your post is the biggest load of bollox since Red Rum was gelded.

Maybe there is a reason he did not question how many black and ethnic minority players Newport County have employed.

Maybe he forgot that Newport County employed Neville Chamberlain in the 1980's when it would have been easier not to.

I know what I have been told by a very reliable source

true to form and more than a little sad

Well ask your reliable source why they appointed Ms Hemming? Clearly your very reliable source is not too clever, otherwise they would have left the post open. And as you didn't see the application forms, sit in on the interviews, etc you are relying on the word of someone who is not too clever.

Sad.

Personally, I am not particularly bothered as to how he got appointed as he looks a good appointment on paper, saying that, so did Westley and that was advertised. Mike Flynn's appointment was not advertised. Go figure

Whenever an argument needs to be qualified by maybe, the argument is flawed.

Now you say that the job was advertised a year ago and maybe they had his details on file. Let us assume you are correct, then he lost out to Ms Hemming. Hardly an unqualified endorsement is it.

My view is that all administrative jobs should be openly contested. That removes the possibility of nepotism. It also removes the possibility of the allegation of nepotism.

Unfounded or not, allegations are sometimes made. And if you can't refute them then true or not they stick.

Putting on my wig and gown, if I were trying to undermine Newport County as an equal op's employer.

Since the club reformed 30 years ago how many directors have Newport County had?

Since the club reformed 30 years ago how many administrative staff have the club employed?

How many black and ethnic minority directors have Newport County had in the last 30 years?

How many black and ethnic minority administrative staff have Newport County employed in the last 30 years?

And you appoint rather than interview these staff?

For the record I don't believe our club are deliberately discriminatory in their employment practise. However it doesn't look good does it.

Go figure.

So you're saying that we should positively descriminate and tick the diversity box just because somebody is black or asian ?
