Ben Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 This whole club is just far to professional these days, it's like they say to themselves " what would Ashley do ?" And then do the exact opposite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) It’s mind-warping how far he is away from tea-boy Charnley. His CV is really impressive. Edited July 16, 2022 by TheBrownBottle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Will be interesting to see what his remit will be; I presume commercial, stadium, ticketing, maintenance and i presume Eales will now be the face of the club in terms of communication to fans and will represent us at PL meetings Going off what someone said before about the board i wonder what the structure is, i presume Yasir Al-Rumayyan (Chair) | Amanda Staveley, Jamie Reuben, Majed Al Sorour (Board) | Darren Eales (CEO) | Dan Ashworth (Sporting Director) Ashworth won't have had any say in Eales appointment as CEO will report to board I presume we will also hear less of Amanda Staveley & Jamie Reuben now as I presume they will now take a bit more of a back seat on the day to day running of the club Edited July 16, 2022 by NUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be amazed if the DoF appointed the CEO. Ashworth might have vouched for him, but he’ll sit underneath him in the structure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashworth will be doing his "centre of the wheel" thing, linking the various aspects of the football operations (first team, reserves/academy, women's team, recruitment/scouting etc) and Eales will be overseeing the financial & commercial side as you say. All looks very professional and well thought-out. Makes a change from Ashley (the hands-off owner) - Justin Barnes (role undefined) - Charnley (everything else) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I'm sure Ashworths approval will have helped but it won't have been the deciding factor. Doesn't really matter, since they seem to have come to a good decision. The sooner our commercial streams are close to the top 6, the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I’m really glad we didn’t go for someone smarmy like Peter Kenyon, not him but you know what I mean. This guy speaks well and comes over as a likeable person. He’s obviously very good at his role and will be interesting to see how much we hear from him in terms of his plans, or perhaps we’ll just get press releases as the coming announcements are made.

GeordieDazzler Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 He’s got a great CV, the fact he’s previously worked with Ashworth is just a bonus. They are a fan of extensive references so can’t of hurt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 He seems to have been around some really impressive moments in football e.g. the creation of a new (in England) football governance model at WBA with an unproven Ashworth, Tottenham finally getting their act together in the early 2010s, and building a high attendance football club from scratch in Atlanta (which is near enough what he's gonna be doing here given the way the club withered under Ashley).

You’re a pretty good poster man but this is a mare. The DoF may have the smallest say but this comes from way, way above. They found their man and wanted him here. And he’s here. So stoked.

Geordie Ahmed Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I'm conflicted, on the one hand it's a role we've never had due to Ashley running us like a ghost ship, the guy is clearly credible with a solid CV but Mackems reckon we should be fuming because we've never heard of him (ignoring the fact most football fans would struggle to name more than a few CEO's) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 It was really interesting reading his comments on working with Levy. I can't stand Levy and would be very wary of dealing with him on any player transfers, but you can't deny that he's effective. From that article, Eales also seems to have been a bit of an all round fixer for him, sorting out difficult or complex contract and transfer negotiations as well. So there may be a bit of that too, good to get more experience and know-how. Anyway makes a difference from Charners and his special unplugged transfer phone. What's that you say? A cow says moo? Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo-moo? Looks like you win this round Mr Agent MacDonald. Now I'd like to enquire about Mr Duck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
