I'm gonna join the SWF "hope I'm proven wrong" gang....
Russell Martin? Not for me. I think the last thing we need right now is another Rasmus 'experimental' manager. What we need more than tick-box spreadsheet attributes is a manager who has a shed load of soft skills. That sense of gravitas and presence that you can't measure but you know is there.
Whether there is such a manager willing to join us is another matter of course...
