Inspired by the recent New York Times story of a football side that allows their fans to take on the role of manager, Lee Davy ponders whether the same concept could apply to the Global Poker League.

Fabrice Soulier plays for the Global Poker League (GPL) Eurasia Conference side Paris Aviators. According to statistics robbed from the league’s website Soulier has played six matches, winning a possible 0.22% of points available.

The suave and sophisticated Frenchman can play poker. His World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and $6m in live tournament earnings are a testament to that fact so we can put his woeful start down to being on the wrong side of variance. But let’s be honest, with stats like that, he wouldn’t be your first choice to step into The Cube.

The manager needs to drop him.
