The latest Stanford bombshell has raised questions over the deal approved by Giles Clarke, but as the ECB elections approach, his ability to bring in money to the coffers may save him, writes Paul Weaver in the Guardian.
When Giles Clarke looks in the mirror he is, like Snow White's stepmother one senses, not displeased with the view. And when a mirror is not at hand there is always Sir Allen Stanford. Clarke, the chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board, is first and foremost an entrepreneur, a bright gambler who financed his Oxford education playing backgammon and bridge, a committee member of the Society of Merchant Venturers. And in Stanford he sees a man made in his own enterprising image, a taker of calculated risks.
