Shame. INRNG makes the claim one of the reasons of Cookson's downfall was the fact he filled a lot of the top jobs with Brits. I think the biggest reason was Makarov switching allegiance, he seems to be the main powerbroker. Also promising the Worlds to Africa.
There is a sense that Cookson was a useful tool to oust McQuaid, and decent PR for the organisation after a toxic decade or more, and now they want things back to the way they were.
