Outgoing MHK criticises Manx negotiators
Outgoing MHK Chris Robertshaw says the Island sent the equivalent of 'Third Division players to take on a Premier League side', in the Liverpool Ferry Terminal negotiations.
He says the Manx negotiators were just 'outclassed', and in certain instances, didn't listen to advice they were given.
Speaking with former MHK Phil Gawne on Manx Radio's Agenda, Mr Robertshaw said the separation of policy from actual operation was vital for success:
