I think Roger Wright was basically well-meaning, and he did do some good things (for example, we would never have heard Foulds' 'World Requiem' or The Gothic Symphony again in our time if not for him..

... not everyone would say that promoting Foulds or the Gothic Symphony was "a good thing".

Exactly.

But not very funny?

A good thing as measured against your personal taste, or the broad remit of the job? [FWIW, i.e. approximately nothing, I share your, er, doubts on the merits of the World Requiem, but that is also besides the point.]

Exactly.
