Leamington chairman David Hucker gives the appearance of being a mild mannered and affable individual. He was an instant hit with a group of the Addickted who came to my 60th birthday bash at the The New Windmill ground, giving them a personal tour of the ground.
But there is steel beneath the surface. He is a very successful businessman. Formerly heading up a housing association, he has built up a consultancy that specialises in rescuing failing public sector organisations.
He rarely criticises the Brakes in public, and it is hardly Abramovich and Mourinho, but he has fired a warning shot across the bows of manager Jason Cadden in a back page lead in the Leamington Spa Courier (Leamington's morning daily having ceased publication some years ago).
Hucker has rightly called last Saturday's FA Cup defeat at Stourbridge a 'disjointed and dispirited' showing and has said that travelling supporters were let down. 'It wasn't the fact that we lost but the manner of the defeat that hurt. We let our supporters down.'
Manager Cadden has confirmed that there will be several changes for today's game at Evesham United, to be played at Worcester City's ground. 'If this is the kick up the [rear] we will take it,' Cadzy conceded.
