Not true. I'm expecting all of the below to happen by 5pm:

  • An SAFC Unfiltered podcast with KLD
  • Niall Quinn appointed CEO
  • Maurice Louis-Dreyfus appointed Vice Chairman
  • Margerita Louis-Dreyfus appointed NED
  • Stadium of Light renamed "The Louis-Dreyfus Stadium of Light" in a landmark £350m deal
  • A centre back free transfer from some eastern european country, identified using data, to be signed
  • John Cooke reinstated as Kit Man
  • Head of Recruitment appointed
  • Head of Academy appointed
  • EFL to announce new FFP rules linked purely to how wealthy the owner is

Damn I'd better stay sitting here then cos I know what you say will all happen before tea time

Just another thought whilst we all speculate who the new CEO is...

I don't actually think we need one.

KLD overall charge.

Speakman in charge of football

Davison in charge of non-football.


I always said I'd like to keep Rodwell a bit for the transition so was surprised he went today. But actually that's because the transition has already happened.

Davison is essentially the new Rodwell. He was given the title COO to avoid comparison to CEO. We don't need a CEO if KLD is going to be an executive (day-to-day) Chairman.

Davison was brought in a month ago to get a full handover from Rodwell before the sale completed.

Essentially KLD is Chairman and CEO. And in a strange sort of way, KLD is Rodwell's replacement. Rodwell was only here because the owner was absent. Now the owner isn't absent, he's redundant.

It sounds good,but neither Davison or KLD have the essential experience in the business world in which they're operating. We will need a football CEO imo.

maybe once we get up to the championship or premier league. but not in league one, I think.

Too many chiefs not needed. We need indians.
 
This is all a bit of a conundrum for the pessimists, oops I mean realists, who are demanding a statement of intent 'before they can get excited'.

But they'll then immediately trot out the 'actions speak louder than words' response.

It must be a difficult time, for them, to be fair.
Maybe we should spare a thought for them.
Hang on......


(thinking......)



Right, thats that done. I've thought about them.
**** em.
 
I'm just trying to avoid doing the work I should be doing and the decorating my wife wants me to be doing if I'm not doing the work I should be doing.

Just tell them you can't get to any of it today..more important things to occupy your mind. They'll have to wait.
