It remains true that whoever the captain is (or if we have no non-playing captain) the players will make the best of it. Claiming you thought you had my "tacit agreement" is barely credible when my disagreement has been clear, consistent and explicit.
I do agree that you intend to appoint yourself as captain regardless of the wishes of the majority of the team. Perhaps that is the tacit agreement you have in mind.
Andy, it is bizarre that I have to have to quote my own comment, but see above. Sure, making the best of it does sound exactly like what I said. And I am happy to repeat it right now:
The majority of the Open team would rather have no captain rather than have you as captain, but "we shall have to make the best of it" because our International Director intends to appoint himself as captain against our explicit and oft-repeated objections.
