As I've noted previously, the lack of an apparent central vision and ethos is starting to worry me. If it is noise for noise sake, not a problem. But it comes across as there still being no plan and everything about the competition being up for grabs less than a year out from the start. Again - we were saying similar last year, and sure enough it didn't all come together....
