Jeremy is a dickhead to us, because he is a control freak and wants ALL the power and glory.
But in a lot of other people’s worlds he is a good, successful person. Hurts to admit it, but without him I doubt there would be a club or track now.
Brooks is a high level official. That seems to impress some people. We could all do it, but the majority of us actively choose not to. Again, I suspect he’s a control freak.
