New CEO appointed..

[sksk3021]

What a positive article from a scunthorpe journo

“If you are one of those fans that is unconvinced by Rodwell’s appointment, then my apologies to you, because I have little to positive to say - from my experience of covering and supporting the club - on what he’s going to do for Sunderland.”

Piss taking party is over

They don’t seem to know anything about him or what he did tbf. Which could in itself be a negative but nobody really knows.

They hardly ever heard from him at all, surely thats a bit strange for a ceo?

You are trying to suggest that the quality of the CEO at an organisation doesn't affect the performance of that organisation? It is pretty clear that at a point in time when we are at our lowest ebb, our lowest position, with an Academy that is being pillaged the appointment of a CEO who has failed in this role at smaller clubs should questioned. it is a key appointment and, on the face of it, it is an appalling one. Of course we could be wrong but I'd love to know what his objectives are. They were quite simple at Scunthorpe and after 5 years he had dismally failed for them.

I would rather give him a chance to do his job before judging rather than relying on some journalist from Scunthorpe tbh.

then you'd be shit at employing people then wouldn't you, if you didn't look at their history

With respect after reading your post, you do not know SD at all, he has NOT changed the selling price he has only changed the fact if we get investment OR a partial sale where he keeps some shares along with CM.
I know this Jim will bring people to the club that will improve how we work. one final thing if you think you know SD then its you who are delusional he is not like that at all

His refusal to change the asking price is a negative not a positive. It's the reason he can't sell it - no one else who has taken a good look at it thinks its worth what he wants.

I don’t employ anybody. Go to watch Sunderland play “football” when I can, rarely go to board meetings, when did people start being so interested in who their football clubs ceo is?

We'll all give him a chance but with any appointment, be it a CEO, a Manager or the purchase of a player, you look at their track record and this lad's track record is so poor. There has to be a reason or logic behind such an appointment and SD should explain - when you get Scunthorpe fans/journalists blaming him for their slump and Boston fans blaming his for their slide out of the League the alarms bells are ringing pretty loudly. We want a return to the Premier League and we have appointed a man who has steered the ship of clubs who struggle to survive in League Two. As fans we do our bit - record ever attendances in this league - we have the right to expect better from our owners. I've just given this man the money for 3 x season tickets - I have the right to expect a little explanation and a little more vision.

Will Jim Rodwell be able to make the staff see his actions and think...”This is what good is”

 

[deleted user 785]

Methvens mate and a succession of failures. Nigh on disliked by every fan of clubs hes been employed by

Absolutely f***ing brilliant

I'd imagine they probably watched season one of STID and seen just how involved with the running of a club a CEO is and the ramifications of a combination of bad CEO and an owner who won't throw money at it

Every right to be concerned/f***ing terrified

The first thing I thought was that the right communication would be through the PR team and manager for matches. Bain liked a quote , Niall of course but Maggie rarely.

What a twat Methven eh ?

Unlike you I don’t have to pretend to be SD’s best mate and by the way I never said I knew him, to be honest I don’t want to, he failed at Eastleigh with the biggest budget he’s doing the same here, It’s blatantly obvious he’s changed many things in the deals, he has even said so himself how can he not be deluded if he thinks SAFC is in lg 1 worth £35m in lg 1 oh he dropped the price there £5m if we are still in lg 1 from £40 m he said, Only about one thing making money selling and even then he messes up trying to sell to Mark Campbell a complete waste of space who kills our pre season wow clueless, go get back in to your free box with Charlie

The first bit is obvious. If you aren't interested in who the CEO is, then why have you said you would rather give him a chance. When did you become interested? two posts ago, only to be uninterested a post later?
The fact of the matter is, when you employ someone, you look at their track record, this blokes CV speaks volumes. Lower leagues and poor at that, you may be happy with that. I look at the club as a package, because that is what it is, its a business and not just about playing 90 minutes in a Saturday

For the record who would you like as ceo? Who would be good at it?

Buy a club, make it less likely to gain promotion, ask for double what you paid. Aye Stewie

When they started to realise that it makes a difference to how good the team is, probably.

Reading that, he will fit in perfectly here ffs.

Seen some scunny fans saying he was on 200k per year and that article seems to support that claim. No chance he’d walk away from such a salary to come here if we were going to be sold at the end of May

 

[riffraff]

Iron Bru Worth reading for that alone.
Not quite “Dial M For Merythr” or “There’s Only One F In Fulham” but its decent.

The most important part of that process though is the interview, surely. Looking at his track record, yes it's an underwhelming appointment. But we don't know what ideas he has.

On the surface, it's an underwhelming appointment. But I really don't understanding the throthing at the mouth response from this place when we haven't heard anything from Rodwell himself about what he's going to do.

 

[riffraff]

To be fair, I see he came 3rd in Britain’s Brainiest Footballer in 2002. Also sounds like he’s university educated, maybe Stewy has uncovered the next Daniel Levy.

All just a grim reminder of the level we’re now at, feels very painful in comparison to what’s happening up the road.

University Educated isnt what it used to be. Half the feckers can’t spell, insert a comma or add up without a phone.

oh hang on, someone who isn't interested in the CEO completely ignores the questions given to him and replies with a question of his own, implying that he is now suddenly interested in the CEO. "For the record", I wouldn't employ someone who has failed at Boston, Notts County and Scunthorpe. I have already posted the profit and turnover of those clubs on this thread and I have already said that any sane employer would look at their career history. I haven't been through every CEO's CV because it isn't my job, But guess what? I looked at the career history of the one they have appointed and based my opinion on that. You are quite happy to see what he does even though he has failed elsewhere, it could have been Forrest Gump for all you "care"

No mate the most important process is the elimination part before interviews take place. I employ plenty of people, alright not such high calibre, but I would bin any that had proved such a failure elsewhere. Now you cam embellish all you want but this smacks of jobs for the boys yet again.
