New MCC chief executive Derek Brewer starting afresh on the controversial Vision for Lord's We have to look at what capacity we need and also the way the game is going to develop over the next 10 years so we can design a masterplan that ensures we maintain our place as the best cricket ground in the world. There are loads of questions and I can't give a final timescale. It is a question of making it an inclusive process and producing a working document that the leadership team here can use to drive the club forward. Brewer oversaw the redevelopment of Trent Bridge in his role as chief executive of Nottinghamshire and it was his calm handling of that process which earned him the job at Lord's. With 25 years experience in the banking industry with RBS and NatWest, Brewer, 54, will apply an analytical approach to the building project he will be able to supervise at close quarters having moved into the chief executive's house behind the pavilion. "We will see a brick laid on the masterplan," he insisted. I am open-minded on how it progresses and it depends on how the strategic plan emerges. But if we are to maintain our status it is important we redevelop Lord's. We need to make sure the customer experience is really special so people will come to watch cricket here rather than on television. To do that it is important to make sure facilities are of the highest order. It would be wrong to say at this stage we are going to redo this stand or that stand. It is all about what comes out of the strategic plan work and that is at an early stage. The most ambitious aspect of the masterplan was the construction of a residential development on leasehold land owned by the Rifkind-Levy partnership at the Nursery End of the ground. It was the manner in which this plan was dropped by the MCC which led to Sir John Major's resignation from the main committee. The fall out culminated in the leaking of a letter from Major accusing the committee of "traducing" his reputation and the club of poor management and governance. Brewer was safely looking on from afar as he worked his notice at Trent Bridge but insists there is no division within the club. "That [work on the leasehold land] has clearly been a big debating point but we are approaching it from a different angle now," Brewer said. We look at it from the viewpoint of asking what the club actually needs. I can only comment on what I have seen so far. I have attended three main committee meetings and the quality of debate has been excellent. I just see every reason to be optimistic. One of Bradshaw's tasks was to find a role for the club in the modern world. While Brewer's job will be more focused on the MCC's own internal projects, continuing to give the 225-year-old club a presence in an ever-changing world remains a key objective. "One of the reasons I was so pleased to take this job on was because of the role of the club," Brewer said. It is the guardian of the laws of the game and I have seen that work at first hand already. The influence of our world cricket committee under Mike Brearley is not to be underestimated and our Spirit of Cricket brand is terrific. There is talk of bad publicity recently but some of our great projects get no publicity at all. Just look at the work the club does in Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Rwanda. The global reach of the MCC is phenomenal and it has a massive role to play.
