    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.

    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.

    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.

  8. 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.

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

    Dave Jones advertising the job suggests he's staying and also suggests he's been involved with data as expected over these last few months

  16. Not at all! Everything is being set up now for our drive to the top....the sooner these key positions are filled,the better. Everything we need for our assault on the PL needs to be set up now.

    I totally agree mate, you can't build anything worthwhile without good foundations.
