I agree an argument could be made here, if you see how many key positions one person is holding not only within one club, but now in both clubs. But is it because they are greedy and power hungry or because no one else is running? Do we seriously have such a shortage of qualified people that the same ones keep on running, or are these people trying to control both clubs? I think those are the hard questions nobody wants to deal with and answer. Illeana--- an excellent ,well thought out post. very sensibly spoken.
