Seems such an easy money maker across the globe. We should have had an NUFC channel in the early 2000’s under SBR when Liverpool, Man Utd, and even Celtic had one. In the digital age there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn’t have one now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) The club was bought in October 2021, but we had a little problem called relegation. First order of business a new manager and then an insane January transfer market where they were all learning on the fly. Then they go on a hunt for a DoF and CEO and we get Ashworth and Eales in by summer 2022 along with a Chief Legal Officer. First up for Eales and co. is finding a Chief Commercial Officer, so we get that squared away around October 2022. The first order of business for most of these people is hiring. Ashworth puts together an overhaul of our scouting and youth coaching operation. In July of 2023 we announced a Chief Financial Officer In August of 2023 we hired a Partnerships Director. In September 2023 we hired a Director of Brand, Marketing and Digital. In October of 2023 we added a Retail & Licensing Director. It's really just in the last 6 months that we've got all the pieces in place on the business side and my guess is all of them are spending time hiring people, while also trying to get things rolling. We're just getting started. Edited January 26 by timeEd32 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just getting started. I have noticed a steady roll out of business-side jobs other the last 6 weeks or so. Would appear they’re trying to get everything moving ahead of the Adidas launch in the summer? Must be kinda nice having an almost blank slate to work from. I do wonder where they house all these staff mind, surely there isn’t enough office space at SJP? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that because Adidas actually used to have an office inside SJP when they had the deal with us and after our last extension. In saying that, we keep on having MGM’s at Alnwick, so that leaves to question why when we have our own function rooms at SJP? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess because if they were forced to, that would amount to state intervention and funding of the club, when of course there are "legally binding assurances" that we are separate from the state. There aren't really any obvious workarounds to the rules we're complying with, unless the whole basis of those rules are challenged. Which would be... problematic. Not least as I can't really think what they'd be replaced with that both everyone would sign up to and would also stop the league just being dominated by other clubs than they are now, in a different sort of closed shop. FWIW, I think employing the best back office teams around, with owners willing to invest in that way in order to be able to challenge properly longer term is probably still our best strategy. As frustrating as it is right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
