He’s on the board… so they can’t fire him like any ordinary employee.

Yeah the issue here isn’t the lack of a license, it’s the lack of correct design process, which you attempted to reinstate!! Where did these people study design?!

Don’t! I’ve used auto update for 15 years. Nearly always a welcome improvement until now.

I’ve had to use lots of accessibility options to try and turn this around but why is the keyboard running at the speed of the first iPhone I ever had? Possibly slower!!!

Ok. So he can’t be sacked in the standard way of course because he’s not an employee he’s on the board. It’ll require the board to all agree so watch this space…

Absolutely no other sources on this, and all news sources so far say there has been no official JLR statements at all. To confirm or deny. Is this all just a huge publicity stunt?!

I know I know. Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill…. brilliant. But.. Jackie Brown is a classic MOVIE movie.

Another correction- I guess the mk1 Freelander came after the MGF and was the last car Gerry actually designed.

Thanks! I'm so busy I don't have time for SoMe, it's basically read-only these days.... so I am aware of what you are all up to!

correction: he was the public face of Jaguar (and Land Rover) DESIGN.

I think you’re confusing engineering with design. It’s a rather excellent piece of car design (styling) which led to Gerry’s rapid promotion track.

I’ll dare to quote an insider yesterday…

“I do not have the time to write all the shit down that he has done over the years.”

In 1998 I worked with a guy who studied with Gerry at Coventry… I learned even back then all was not as it seemed let’s say.

I've already told him a story in confidence... very honourably has never repeated it, ever!

Can I now reveal some classic McGovern stories I heard from insiders...?!
