Always a divisive figure but does anyone actually think he's doing a decent job? All the stats say that Middlesbrough is going backwards rather than making any progress and this was happening before the pandemic. Was speaking to someone yesterday who used to shout from the rooftops about Preston but now thinks he's useless. They said that Preston is like a civic mayor on steroids rather than an elected mayor. I guess this is summed up by his marketing type content he runs on social media. He's more interested in social media engagement and interaction rather than doing anything meaningful. For some reason he keeps asking people if they ever went to Alan Fearnley's record shop. He must have templates saved and forgets what he's previously posted. Same goes for things such as Captain Cook monument. He obviously spends a significant amount of time on these things and you'd have to question the salary he receives from the taxpayer.
In the last week people have been asking him speak out about the exams fiasco and support students who were downgraded . He stayed silent and then came out and said that exam results don't really matter.
Then when the government made a U-turn he seemed to change his mind.
