New CEO appointed..

Not open for further replies.

Someone just told me that his reputation at Scunthorpe is known for "budget cutting".

And given the way the statement is worded and who owns the club, is this really a surprise?
we arent budget cutting though... fox did that for us,,..

we now have an experieced foorall admiistator...which is what the fans wanted..
Unless he fucks off Donald and Methven, I’m not sure it’s going to make much of a difference what he does.
thats the point..methve has resuigned as a director..he has gone..this is his replacemet..hopefully also means doald does less..
Scunthorpe?
sums our small time owner up
FFS
What a fuckin shambles
thays what you do...jire up and coming talent...he is a director ofd the league,...implyig he is very well thought of by his peers..

remember all this dodgy business about using the parachute money to purchase the club

Rodwell had a position on the board of the EFL at the time...
and it wast didgy..ie not agaits it in the rules...in fact it had to happen the way it did because of the rules...

also the rules around the para money are not set by the football league..but by the premier league..of which this guy is not a director..

but apart from that..everything you have said is accurate..
Another one of Charlies mates, what could possibly go wrong
any evidence he is?

We?
 
Bob man, stop your "allegiance" clouding your judgement. Like every other appointment SD has made, his CV does not warrant a role at this club. It doesn't look like he has been a good appointment at any club and just because he can shout a lot means fuck all. You need to be able to handle people differently not piss them off cos you can
his cv is he has been ceo of two clubs..including in this league...of course it warrants it..

Aey
He can bring his wealth of knowledge from that footballing giant Scunthorpe to Sunderland AFC
Mouthwatering
 
Notts County and Scunthorpe were in a lower division when he left than when he joined. That doesn't scream out to me that he's going to sort things out and improve us tbh, much though I obviously hope he does.
he isnt the guy responsible for the footall side at those clubs...thats literally not what a ceo does at any club on earth...

its only the fantasisis on here who think it is..
 
From the Scunthorpe article on him leaving

"I employed Jim to take us to the Championship and get us ready for our journey into the new stadium, to build a backroom staff that could support this move and hopefully establish ourselves in the second tier"

They're in league two

I see he was at Boston, they dropped out the football league and Notts County, they dropped out the football league, Scunthorpe relegated last season...not really inspiring stuff.
