Could be all sorts of underlying private issues that the public aren't aware of.
Absolutely, nuffies like me aren't best served to make list management decisions, not by any stretch, but, given the discontent the co-captaincy created, next years 150th anniversary and a decline in membership numbers you'd think the club might just reconsider something that, universally, was condemned by the members.
2 separate issues IMO, things like the number of Captains is something they should get member input for, this is something that hasn't changed for 148 years, not sure any club is ever going to listen its members when it comes to list management though.
Whilst I’ve personally never been a fan of co-captains, even in that situation a club wouldn’t appoint two if they didn’t believe they would benefit from it.
