Maybe we ought to have a sweepstake on how long the next CEO will get before the journos start having a go at him or her on Twitter. Will they given the new CEO a year or two before they start moaning? A month? A week?

I reckon maybe 5-10 minutes if they're lucky ...

So a big 'hi' to Mike.

Do you think we should give him an official invite to join the forum ? We could be 'helpful' in setting him off on the right path . . .

Many people .

Neil now thinks he knows:

"Hearing CEO of Tennis Canada Mike Downey is LTA chief. More follows"

I don't know anything about Downey, if it is him, but tennis in Canada seems very healthy & full of enthusiasm at the moment.

Also, it's not like former pros to have a good word to say about the leader of a federation (not here, anyway!) but talking after two Canadians reached the semis at the Canada Masters this year, former Canadian pro Grant Connell (one of the previous two Canadians to do it) said:

"I think that we as Canadian tennis players and the tennis community should expect these sort of results from our players," said Connell, who joined Andrew Sznajder as the last Canadian men to even reach the semifinals when they did it 24 years ago. "I think it's time to think bigger as Tennis Canada, under Michael Downey's guidance, has made great leaps in to a legitimate place amongst some of the best tennis playing countries."

Korriban my hobby is miltary history . Do you mind sir Napoleon was a Corsican posing as a Frenchman .

shows how little you know me at least compare me to an English General after all Napoleon met his Waterloo At the hands of our genius The Duke of Wellington.

My uncle was in grenadier guards took me see film Waterloo when first premiered ( early 70s ) Napoleon was defeated by a Great English General The duke of Wellington . 

Comparison  with 2nd world generals : 

I could certainly match his ego but I am not cautious enough to be Montgomery , I have the Daring of Rommel but lack his flair , so I guess it's got to be Georgie Patton because I am as mad as a Hatter , don't listen to anybody and just keep steam rolling over the enemy !

Can you please stop starting new threads again and again for the same subject - it's completely pointless. I don't understand why you seem intent on irritating people here who are probably on your side anyway as far as the basics (spreading funding, wanting Brits to do well, etc) are concerned - it has got to be the worst PR campaign I've ever seen.

I'll merge this one into the existing thread on this subject but from now on, if new threads get started saying exactly the same thing as previous ones, I'm just going to zap them - I can't be bothered to keep merging them.

You're quite right, steven.

Also, I don't know if you've got the time (almost certainly not) but most of these threads would actually be far better under the 'general tennis' topic i.e. the new CEO, or Roger Draper, or corporate funding, or whatever, has nothing specifically 'men's tennis' about it, in fact, quite the opposite - it's women's, junior, everything.

And it's good for the general tennis section, IMO, to have new threads - it makes people go on it and reminds people of old general threads.
