Profit much less than expected.

A sudden sacking because profits are lower than expected ? Management accounts would have shown the financial position. Nah, that is not convincing. More to come out here I think.

I have no idea and tbh don't really care. Just passing on info to our friend Ballzy.

Looking at his history Cornish doesn't tend to hang around in roles for long, not a great sign from the outset.

From my experience (and I have a fair bit) CEO's are often diabolical with no real experience of the sector they are in.

Don't be draft PC. There are a lot of posts I've liked. Mind you, I do have to give you full credit for finding a way to deflect from Al's question.

Smashing interview between Mr Marks with Jack Leach - two old West country village cricketers chewing the fat!!!

From ‘village cricketer’ to cult hero: Jack Leach relives his 17-ball epic | Vic Marks

He scored just one run but in his match-winning stand with Ben Stokes, England’s No 11 became the owner of cricket’s most famous pair of spectacles since the days of David Steele

(Sorry it has to be the dreaded Guardian but still worth a read - Vic alone is worth the subscription as far as sport concerned. Well him and the inestimable David Conn

Horrid collapse from 80-0 off the first 8 overs with the Sorry spinners doing most of the damage

Finch with an unbeaten century has destroyed Somerset and a Q/F slot will now need other results to go their way. Could be between them and Middlesex in what could be a decider on a Friday evening.
