Before everyone gets their knickers in a twist again - it may be worth noting that Allam would know more about Duffens involvement whilst at City than any of Us on the forum .
The bloke you didn't recognise next to him was, I believe, Nick Thompson, our present incumbant!!!! What makes you think you would ever know the difference if Paul Duffen was in his shoes? If it is to be Paul Duffen who is our new Managing Director, he'd be doing the same job as the guy who currently means nowt to you. Too much Duffen mania at the moment
Admittedly I was watching on a piss poor stream, but it didn't look like NT to me, although to be fair I don't pay too much attention when the switch to the crowd.
