And which of Dawson, Dawson, Wilcox, Alexander, Cox, Knill, Baroclough, Money. Didn’t fit that bill.
Hardly an endorsement of inbred success obviously not forgetting the underwhelming promotion under Wilcox at the time. Wouldn’t scoff at any promotion now.
I take your point to an extent but its still a sweeping generalisation. Some were better than others. You can group them altogether as ‘inbreds’ as much as you want, but it doesn’t prevent an ex coming in and succeeding where others failed.
