Lots of pluses and lots of scepticism. But honestly, you’d look at the new CEO’s experience, even at 26, and say that’s not a bad appointment (though 26 does feel remarkably young I agree). In reply Yorks, the info is that he does know more having been around a number of clubs analysing their strengths - all things he could aspire to bring to our club (maybe not immediately ‘cos we don’t have a pot to piss in but without aspiration we can only go one way).
It’s a career defining point for him to take on this role, so I’d expect him to come to us with the energy and drive to do well. He already knows where we are from the work Retexo have already done, so no skeletons in the cupboards - he knows where we are structurally and financially as a club. He’ll know he will have to make the good and the tough decisions - and face the fans for them. I’m glad Hoos is also around as a fallback too, I know many don’t like him, but we need an element of easing through the transition. I hope the new CEO brings forward new energy and a strong/steady improvement over the next few years. God knows we all know we need it.
I think we’ll see a lot of changes in the Academy, player changes around our style and some focus on the club structure and fan experience. I’m gonna stay positive on this one - he’s got a **** load to do but he’s going to have some fresh ideas and some good contacts/resources.
Onwards and upwards (hopefully in the league too).
