Who will be the new RA CEO?

You can bet your bottom dollar that Clyde Basel is the appointed one. He has support from Wainstein and probably Phumelela, making sure the incestuous RA/Phumelela relationship will be maintained.

Has Gordon applied?

You guys seem to be championing him? Something you know that we don`t?

Pure speculation Bob as was made very clear in my opening post.

Agreed, however looking at the RA board it seems apparent that at last there seems to be a significant split between some of the newbies and Larrys sheep. I'm hoping that the new lot don't slack off and a proper untainted individual is appointed that will oppose some of Phumelelas actions that are not in owners interests,

.....rather chilling that the ex-RA CEO still has that type of influence.....:sick:

Not sure if even possible

But hearing talk of The RA & NHRA under one umbrella

Perhaps an alliance ie. every NHA colour holder automatically becomes an RA member if not racing in KZN.

NHA is a regulatory body, they cannot be under the same umbrella for obvious reasons.

.....I dont believe the RA needs a CEO position......a Racing Manager at a 3rd of the cost should suffice.....get back to basics with a neutral untainted diplomatic individual hungry for getting the RA back into shape......:huh:

Of course they need a CEO

......when, how and why was the CEO position created......:huh:

.....take the Racing Trust and their assets out of the equation.....

.....let the RA board Chairman have the executive powers without a fat salary .....just like it was when Larry was the chairman.....:dry:

Why ? Imo we don't even need the RA .... well certainly not the one we had in the last 15 (?) years ... can anyone tell me in simple English, what exactly the RA does for owners - and not the general waffle e.g. 'we look after you' - and while we're at it - how come Gold Circle country does not need an RA to 'look after the owners' ?

Exactly Frodo and as others have said why does it require a CEO at a nice fat salary. Its ridiculous to be honest and as OTA has said it's time to clean up and clear out. No disrespect to Clyde but all the old guard need to go end of story. There are many including the so called lunatic fringe that have never been part of the RA in its current form and I'm sure unless things change drastically many more will give up on it. Again just my opinion of course
