Excited by this appointment. Solid background, with a wealth of high profile experience. Get in the SD now and we are good to go.

We will see. Our back room operations have obviously been lacking and we clearly operate like a little club which works very well in some ways but we are way behind in others. Somewhat suspect a lot of the job will be getting PIF to make decisions on things as they are not fast. 

 

Glad Eales finally can leave to focus on his health, awful situation. However must be said Louise Taylor dropped that it was Eales who forced out Staverley. I probably understand she was a nightmare for taking all the decisions he was meant to be but she was clearly actually good at it and Mitchell, Eales mate, was a disaster. The new guy has to stop the endless churn in the back offices. The Isak saga has arguably significantly weakened our standing, everybody knows we folded. Apparently Mitchell pissed off most clubs he dealt with. All needs sorting. 

 

You mistake is believing Taylor, Stavely herself said it was bollocks in an interview.

I have a good feeling about this.

He will have his work cut out helping rectify all the damage Mike Ashley did the club and its brand). 

Ashley had done a proper hatchet job on us.

Thought it was David hopkin. His sticker gave me night terrors.

Hopefully he has a direct line to PIF.

Hopefully they just empower him to make decisions himself instead of having to refer everything to them. 

[Sibierski]

Hopefully he's been giving a mandate internally from PIF of "Smash some heads, ruffle some feathers and get this club moving. You have carte blance to do what you want and we'll back it up".

I agree, content and the website should be his two biggest priorities. 

 

[Infinitely Content]

He sacked the graphic designer and updated the font to times new roman yet?

[Mike]

@B-more Mag if you post 'that' one I will hunt you.

[r0cafella]

Glad we've finally filled this job. Hopefully he has a direct line and can speed up the decision making process. 

 

Was he still working in NY when we hired him?
