His responsibilities would include maximising the FIA's financial return in areas such as sponsorship, but they would also include managing the bureaucracy of the sport.
Clearly the right man for the job then.

About time some of these incompetent pratts were made aware of the fact that they could not run a whelk stall.
Anyone from a failed Scottish bank should be barred from any other office than that of bus driver, janitor or bog cleaner.

And that goes for the Scottish mafia politicians who are running amok with anti English legislation.

With his qualifications he might bring that house of cards crashing down. I am told that he rebuilds cars/engines - would you buy one from him ??

The collective noun for bankers is a "wunch" (according to a banker I knew in Edinburgh, yes he worked for the Royal Bank), so he'll feel right at home at the head of an organisation which could be similarly described.

Not sure what that has to do with FIA but Surely elected Scottish politicians are entitled to support any anti UNION legislation.

Without getting into a political debate, i personally disagree with it but still respect the right to vote on disbanding the union of Scotland and the United Kingdom of GB and NI. Or have i missed the point ?

The relevance was the fact that Fred the Shred was presiding over the RBOS before his demise.

Yes, disband the union by all means.
Don't let me stand in the way.
Let the Scots politicians run one parliament in Edinburgh and not take part in 2.

Get Hadrian back to build a bigger wall. And while we are about it see Offa about a deeper dyke.
