I just couldn't understand why SAS felt the need to be so vicious about Raef when he has been such a lovely guy throughout the show...

So even putting aside the flawed argument SAS had for firing him, I found his manner of doing so disgraceful.”

SrAlan just didn't want to hire him, fullstop. That is why he made him project manager, so that he would *have* to come back in if the team lost, and I think, ditto for Alex, mind you, with only the three of them, it is not so important.

I think Raef was fired as part of a small elimination process by Sir Alan. Perhaps he made Raef team leader to determine whether or not he was a one-hit wonder.

...when it was Michael who asked for the chance to prove this two weeks in the row? That would make no sense at all!

“But Sir Alan – terrific guy. Disproportionately large hands compared to the rest of his body, which is always being pointed out in the boardroom. Maybe large hands are the key to success in business. I’m not sure. But his hands are certainly disproportionately large – and long may it continue!”

Pure random Raef! Love it!
