But he has gained those 'football brains'while working there.
No one could have foreseen he had an innate natural affinity for the football business. That is a ludicrous assertion.
Byrne was and is held in utter disdain for being a woman ...ie what do lasses know about football blah blah blah. Her big mistake was Adam Johnson. She handled that badly but that was nothing to do with football brains.
I have said before that Bain was probably the most football savvy CEO we ever had.
He had a baptism of fire at rangers ( where you would have thought he would have learnt by his and the mistakes of others) and at maccabi ( Israel's man utd ). Compared with most an impeccable football business/brain cv ( complete with tertiary education and marketing experience ). He was undoubtedly the worst we ever had.
Sorry but yours and the logic of many others re football brains is a crock

If it was because she was a lass she would never have got the job in the first place would she?

Don't know why you keep bringing that up, she done a **** job so was peddled. Could have been called Mark and would have still done a **** job and got peddled.

You've said this before about Byrne being criticised unfairly cos she is a woman, she was poor at the job she was paid to do.
Bain was also poor at the job he was paid to do so he was criticised to, they were both very poor CEO's and nothing to do with their sex so please stop repeating that ****.
You're entitled to your opinion but don't make **** up about supporters of this club.

I still don't understand why she received the reported 750K payoff, unless it was tied into who knew what about the AJ affair and when they knew it.

Seems to be the way in football, do a **** job get sacked get paid off... no wonder we ended up skint and nearly down the toilet paying someone 750k who done a **** job.

He was banging on about how it would have been even worse if she was a woman of colour implying we are racist in previous post.

This leopard certainly hasn't changed its spots. He's exactly the same as he was back on rtg.

I've got him on ignore and can still tell who is posting just by the responses.

He's seemed OK to me but that post made me think... Surely he can't actually think that?

Think he's repeated it a few times. Another trait is that he'll at times be quite disparaging of another poster and their posts but takes huge offence if anyone is remotely similar to him.

Sat next to the same lad at the match for a number of years now and Colback is a family friend of his, been round their house a number of times etc. I remember when Colback was still with us the lad was saying that Colback was slating Byrne for the way his contract talks were being handled. He'd have signed up again for us a long time before his contract ran out if it wasn't for Byrne.

Yes I also heard that from his brother Callum worked out well in a way though.

Hasn't exactly improved since left us, although would do a job in this league but he will be happy collecting his wages.

Aye, he must have cost the mags a fortune. Think he'd walk this division tbh.
