I'd seen that but I'd read somewhere else (can't remember where) that there were some complications with it??

Full minutes of the Leics crisis forum here: www.leicestershireccc.co.uk/lc/News/2014/Members-Forum2One thing you cannot fault Leics on is their openess and transparency, which other counties would do well to follow. I don't think Sussex posts minutes of members forums on its official website, although the club is perfectly happy for s&f to report proceedings on here. But at one of our neighbouring counties this season, someone who tweeted key points from a members fourm was angrily accused of a breach of confidence by the county's CEO and instructed to remove the tweets! Good luck to Leicestershire.If they can get the right people in place - Cosgrove as captain and perhaps Wasim Khan as CEO - the picture may not be quite as bleak as it currently looks. |

Which county was this?

Despite the well known problems in the past (regarding his body condition), I actually think Cosgrove is a solid signing for them. He should score stacks of runs in division two. I think he had a spell at Glamorgan in the past. More of a T20 player but more than capable with the bat in the longer form. Him and McKay make eye catching signings.

Don't see Cosgrove as a good example for his young charges to follow. He's not going to be 1st in the gym but the pies will be plentiful!
They need a hard uncompromising captain. Similar to Adams to turn the club round. Someone with some drive.

Similar to Adams to turn the club round. Someone with some drive. Adams could yet end up at Grace Road as coach. And if Wasim Khan ends up as the new chief exec that will be interesting. Members with long memories will remember how those two were at loggerheads when they were on the Sussex staff together and Adams gets a bit of a pasting in Khan's book. |

Different roles, Khan will now be the boss.
People change. I'm sure Khan is pretty ruthless these days. You have to be to get where he has.
Adams will have mellowed and thought about things after Surrey.

This is a fantastic appointment for Leicestershire, who will now be run by one of the ablest and most forward-looking administrators anywhere in cricket. It may be less of a fantastic appointment for Wasim, who exchanges a job in which he has done brilliantly and in which his dynamism was really making a difference (recognised by his OBE) fo a risky, uncertain future at a club that is on benefit street and is kept in business by the ECB. On the other hand, if there is one person who can change Leicestershire's fortunes, it is Wasim Khan, not least by connecting the county club to the huge Asian population in its hinterland. Good luck to him. I have always loved Leicestershire cricket and spent wonderful times at Grace Road in the 1960s during the school summer holidays, when I was always sent to stay with my grandparents at Glenfield. I attended the ground every day for weeks on end (on my grandfather's transferable Leics membership which he held for 50 years but never used more than 2 or 3 times a season), was taken under the wing of the jovial club secretary/CEO Mike Turner, was welcomed into the Leics dresing room by Tony Lock and Maurice Hallam and was coached in the Leics nets by Roger Tolchard, Clive Iman and Jack Burkinshaw, among others. You don't forget experiences like that and it leaves a warm glow and endless goodwill towards Leicestershire that will endure forever. |
