Tom Bevan helped Landon Smith secure Hartlepool United back in January

Interesting there was no reference to the consultants, plus the fact that Mr Bevan was behind Fevs and wanted to give him a chance.
He also referenced LL and I may be right off beam here but my impression is the Consultants saw both LL and Fevs as a hurdle they couldn't easily jump over and so got rid. I could imagine LL raising his eyebrows on occasions and maybe disagreeing over the way things were panning out or going to pan out. And we all know how frustrating it has been for us on that front.
There is a lot of reading between the lines within that interview.
What was pretty clear however how important the fans backing was and is and nurturing that concept is an absolute must.
Success on the pitch has to improve pretty dam quick and I know Landon must have that very high on his agenda if not at the very top of his agenda.
What happens on the pitch is more transparent to the fans than what goes on behind the scenes. I'm not convinced that the importance of that is understood by those running the club.

It’s a pity Rob Law didn’t ask him if he had anything to do with the appointment of Bromby and Partners, someone must have recommended them to Landon Smith. Could be a bit of truth of LL and Featherstone being a hurdle possibly seeing through B&P ?

I'm surprised they didn't stick with Fev but LL was well past his sell by date and must surely have been at least partially responsible for many managerial appointments and style of play.
