Apparently the club has lost money on every single concert we have had on at the SOL

Now that is f***ing staggering

The first ones made money Hand over fist, the past 3 years including Beyoncé have ran at losses
 
Good luck to the lad but I think it's safe to say the club will be better off without him and will be able to attract an experienced/more competent head to perform this role. For us to be worst club in the league for commercial revenue is absolutely shameful.
 
There'll be loads of apologists for him saying that 'we don't know what he does, though', like they did with Short and Byrne before the extent of their car crash management became clear.

I know he is the commercial director. I know that our retail and commercial income is £2m a year. I know that this is the league table of commercial income in the Premier League for the 2014/15 season (the last year for which all clubs have filed accounts).

Manchester United - £197m
Manchester City - £173m
Liverpool - £116m
Chelsea - £113m
Arsenal - £79m
Tottenham - £60m
Newcastle - £25m
Aston Villa - £19m
Everton - £16m
West Ham - £15m
Swansea - £11m
Southampton - £10m
West Brom - £8m
QPR - £7m
Stoke City - £6m
Crystal Palace - £5m
Burnley - £3m
Leicester - £2.9m
Sunderland - £2m

He has. His commercial side is running at a big profit. His personality hasn't helped and the fact that Bain wants to give Moyes a home game friendly or 2. Hutchinson's justification for concerts didn't impress Bain. The latter is very ruthless. I know I have been getting pelters of late , however, his is exactly how it happened.

Bain making the changes that have been needed for a few year now. I don't think he'll win any popularity contests, but I think it's changes that are needed.

I can't see why we can't still have at least one concert and the home friendlies if it was timed properly.

The concerts themeslevs make profit. The issue is where the money and subsequent payments go and it runs close or too a loss. Other elements apart from concerts are running at big profit though.

Define 'big profit' mate. Our commercial revenue is below Burnleys!!!

Depends. He is purely financial based. Ruthless. Hasn't really stripped any Deadwood playing staff. Not loads from the AOL. Loads of lesser pay admin staff done though. Not sure I agree with that.

Gary was always on his way. He was never lasting in that Job. His wage and stature was so inflated.
