New CEO appointed..

[Bugsy]

I’m at the point now of just laughing, we’re comical

Never ceases to amaze how easy it is for some of our fans to ignore reality, ignore what is going on in front of their eyes, ignore people's mediocre (or worse) track records, just because they once met the owner and he came across as a canny bloke or posed for a selfie or bought a pint or something.

Outrageous mate.

 

[Deleted member 46623]

Because he’s running an ongoing business, not playing up front.

But the business has effectively closed down (albeit temporarily) in an operational sense.

 

[Ale taster]

Jesus Christ man. Haway then clappers

Well he's better looking and better qualified in role than Margaret Byrne

 

[Safc88]

So he was at;
scunthorpe relegated from leagu 1 to league 2
Notss county relegated from football league
Boston when they got 12 points deduction

is that right?

 

[Fred Basset]

SD should go on the record as to the reason for such an apt ! Given he is looking to sell what's the point ? How long is the contract ? Why would anyone take a job if we are to be sold ? SD should come clean on this

 

[Spartan]

That sounds like a program that Nat Geo would have on how about Football Club SOS!

Now there is an idea for the Fulwell boys next venture!

SAFC as a barn find !

 

[Shieldsman]

His CV makes Martin Bain look well qualified.

 

[Scotty 1978]

I might chuck the lot in like, we’re stuck here for a long time, can’t be bothered to watch another season like this one, last season was a bit of a novelty

 

[HarrogateMackem]

Was the same with him appointing his mates Hill and Fox to director positions and appointing Reid who had 5 mins running Eastleigh's youth setup to manage a Cat 1 academy. Absolute disaster artist. Hasnt got a f***ing clue.

He seemily doesn’t have many contacts in football, or the money to go get impressive candidates. I don’t think we have a championship or premier league level appointment in the entire club, yet that’s apparently what we’re aiming for.

We’re going to be in League One for a long time. The academy will lose its top tier status next year and that will be the end of that. He’s already flogged the next generation of talent so we can’t even rely on them like Southampton did.

It’d be naive the think that. There’s too many things to be done to just lock everything up & come back once the lockdown is lifted.

From BBC Sport.

Sunderland appoint Jim Rodwell as their new chief executive after five years in a similar role at Scunthorpe.

it will be the way we are going

 

[Ashley In!!]

Nothing like giving a man a chance.

I don't know how you dare.

 

[HarrogateMackem]

To be fair to the fella, they are angry because he did manage to meet their wholly unrealistic expectations of him - I'd hardly blame him here .

He took them from a relatively newly relegated championship club into league two ffs.

Also if he can’t manage f***ing Scunthorpes expectations how is he going to manage at Sunderland.

 

[Safc1987]

We’ve laughed at the mags for their protests and boycotts etc these clowns running the show here are not fit for purpose yet people still want them here, time we stopped accepting shite like this. No doubt ‘give him a chance’ merchants will be singing there tune as we speak.

The expectations placed on him by Sunderland might be slightly more realistic and achievable. Getting Sunderland to the championship for example is much more achievable than Scunthorpe.

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Scunthorpe fans are over the moon he's left, which should tell you everything.

Be interesting to see if anything else materialises over the next few weeks.
