    Welcome to the club David Stevenson

    Just announced. Sorry for the typo in the title in my haste to get it up here.

    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Re: Welcme to the club David Stevenson

    I remember Dougie telling a story how EJ made him wear Adidas boots and took his others of him. And now a Nike boss. Times they are a changing.

    I wish him lots of luck, and a new multi million jumper and boots deal with Nike, and Federer and Woods & the Nike family doing the rounds...

    Wow a credit to him that he was promoted into each new position so quickly from such a base level position. A credit to Nike too that they recognised such talent. Hopefully a good get for us.

    Should be an exciting keeping the bandwagon on track then organising the premiership parade.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Yep.
    You know, it's funny. Just looking at American Football and there are regularly big, big turnarounds in clubs' fortunes. 25 years ago, the Oakland Raiders were the powerhouse of the NFL. Today they're a laughing stock. Five years ago, the Seattle Seahawks were just about the worst franchise, historically, in the NFL. They're now the "It" team. 15 years ago, New England were amongst the worst historical teams in the NFL. They're now the second most valuable behind the Dallas Cowboys and the most respected of all.

    Point is, these "franchises" can and do get turned around by a combination of good management, hard work and a bit of luck. Stevenson would've seen this first hand and perhaps he's studied a bit of what it takes. He'd have seen the satisfaction of several management teams who've achieved it and no doubt realises that winning a championship with a professional sporting organisation is probably the biggest rush in business. Perhaps he's keen to give it a go in the sport he knows pretty well.

    I obviously wish him all the best!
