He would have had an input but I doubt he’s the main reason. I don’t get the impression that the owners would make such an important hire without a very rigorous process.

Waugh apparently had an idea about it but didn't mention it at all Love when it a journalist always knew something before it happened, but not quite enough to actually report it. Always so convenient. Aside from that, I unsurprisingly know nothing of this man. Fingers crossed he's ready and raring to go for the overhaul this club needs.

The Prophet Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I don't know loads about this bloke, but it's amazing how far the club has come in nine months. Another big boy appointment, we're on our way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Not surprising they have gotten a former barrister either given all the legal hurdles we have had to and will know doubt continue to jump over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the main reason, but they have worked together before and im sure Ashworth has given them advise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 From the very little I've seen, he sounds bloody perfect. Ex lawyer, PL experience, worked with Ashworth, knows other owners, has played the media game. I know this sounds daft but he LOOKS like I expect a CEO to look. Hopefully the guy can get our revenue on the up so we can compete on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Seems like a respectable chap that will be welcomed into the big club's cartel. I was a little fearful that PIF might want their own man (someone with saudi business links / non-football background etc..) just to keep the managing minority holders in check so to speak.. I'm glad that's not the case. That's a good sign as far as PIF's involvement goes. Amanda, Mehrdad and Jamie got this!

Jack27 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I've been bored this evening and done some digging on the exact makeup of the board, directors now etc. Is this correct? Non-Exec Chairman: Yasir Directors: Staveley, Reuben, Al-Sorour CEO: Eales Sporting Director: Ashworth I thought Mehrdad was involved as a director too but apparently not. Happy friday, anyway.
