The power brokers at the Knights made the decision to give AOB at least another off season last month.
I disagree with the decision, but it's understandable.
Des becoming available is new information. If the board can't react, and can't do everything possible to get him here, they're derelict in their duty. I don't love Des, but he's a massive upgrade over what we have.
My job is all about evaluating management teams of large companies. They need to react when an opportunity like this presents itself. Unfortunately, I think it's unlikely we do the sensible thing.
