When you sit at the top of the tree you are expected to set the standards for everyone who sits beneath you. In this case, Rob has made a very poor judgement call by placing 735 bets over the period of time which is a long sustained period. His statement just reads like a list of excuses instead of an explanation for why he continued to breach rules over such a long period.

If he didn't know about the rules he should looked into it, the whole point of being in a senior position is that you have the brains to not take everything at face value and delve into things and question the reasons for things happening. How can his position not be untenable after this latest episode.

If he has put money in that is good but that doesn't mean that he should automatically stay in his job. If that was the case Ilyas would be in charge of the club after all the money he has put into the club. In reality that wouldn't work in the real world. What we need now is someone independent to be recruited to run the operations of the club with proper procedures and policies in place to help run a tighter ship to help build up relations with the fans and local businesses.

To leave the skeletons in the past, we need to move forward off the pitch and get things sorted fast. Our reputation has taken a hammering in the last 4 years, we need to start moving on from this.
