I agree with the thrust of what AVF says re. WW. Plus:

WW picked himself (rightly) as the best person to negotiate with Unite/Bassa, as the mouthpiece for all the unpopular structural change that was needed and as a lightning rod for all the discontent that it caused. But remember that the main board and all the top exec's including Williams were right behind him knowing exactly what sort of character he is. WW had been comprehensively 'beasted' by BASSA from the day he joined so had little to lose by proving them right.
