I think it’s been evident that Knapper is out of his depth at this level of leadership

The clips we’ve seen of his ‘motivational’ speaking have been awful. His appointments have left a lot to be desired. His pedigree is basically ‘had a job at Arsenal once and they’re good, so…”

More generally, he reminds me of a six form business studies student.
