I assume you already knew this is who the players proposed, in which case I find your posts questioning Andy M more than a little disingenuous. With this context added I can personally understand Andy M's decision in the face of player power pushing to spend CS’s scarce resources on an individual who will not benefit scottish chess.
Like him or loathe him, Andy M has volunteered to do a role no-one else wants, he has cajoled players into booking flights quickly to save CS money (ask the Finance Director), he has offered to play simuls to try and raise funds and he has offered his time and expertise for the Glorney. That sounds like someone making a positive contribution to CS and the International Director has my support.
However, I am more than a little annoyed that as a Director of CS I seem to be less privy to facts on this matter pertaining to how money is spent than most on here.
What exactly is 'more than a little disingenuous' about my posts David? I (and others) have asked Andy if he chose himself. I have asked Andy if anyone else was invited to apply or offered the role by Andy. It is his place to answer (or decline to answer) these questions.
Several alternatives for captaincy were mooted in the correspondence, none of them by Andy Muir - you should ask Andy Muir why yourself and many other CS directors (including the President?) were not copied in, whereas many of his friends were.
