It also emerged, in the same committee sitting that the CEO, Nick Black, was not aware that the track layout at The Esplanade has been significantly changed from what they have planning permission for. This is despite the fact it was reported by IOM Newpapers already. You couldn’t make this stuff up..... 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And bearing in mind the public outcry over the Prom its beyond belief that they are not making massive effort to avoid any more cockups. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quilp 10,485 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Any public outcry actually means fuck-all to them. It is water off a ducks back. They are safe and secure in the knowledge that there'll be little or no repercussions for any incompetence. This is reflected in the lack of effort to avoid any more cock-ups.

I just don’t understand how Nick Black is still there presiding over all these cock ups? Didnt they get rid of Chris Corlett for less than black has done? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know about Corlett, but there are other seemingly untouchables who're equally as 'wanting' as Nick Black... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard some unbelievable stories about Jeff Robinson . Apparently another arrogant piece of work who feels turning up to management meetings is seemingly beyond him. Has also a perchance of falling asleep in ones he does go to . And yes my source is very credible . 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They got rid of Corlett because he did things that would have made the jobs of other senior civil servants more difficult by privatising the running of TT. Black on the other hand is behaving in exactly the way they approve of - presiding over lots of unnecessary and expensive capital projects and letting his nominal underlings do whatever they want. As I keep on tediously pointing out that's why he was appointed in the first place. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
