New beginnings - Fresh Start

Imagine having to deal with the opinions of Facebook posters as a full time job.

Gross oversimplification but still.

Gross oversimplification indeed.

If he is thinking of leaving, can bet your bottom dollar its got fuck all to do with facebook.

for what its worth, he got a really good reception in the away end at walsall in may.

I like Rob, not least because my Mum made him go fetch ketchup at the Stevenage game for my son, which he did without blinking.  "mother, that's the CE!" - "so what, we needed ketchup, they should have it on the table".

I didn't say anything about him leaving though

I am hoping that this is not true, he has the club at his heart and becoming the CEO of a football club is a massive jump from his previous job at Nationwide.

Football clubs are an entity in themselves and no amount of training could prepar you if you have never done the job before, a real on the job training, straight into the cauldron, especially when you are following on from the shitshow previously at the club.

Maybe he feels he has bitten off more than he can chew? I hope that if he has concerns then he will work through it, its not like there is a training course in "how to be a CEO at a football club". Its a massive job and carries a lot of stress.

Fingers crossed he can work through any doubts he may be having and soldier on to better times.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? And yet, if there's demand, there's always someone out there who'll create something - https://www.ucfb.ac.uk/your-degree/executive-education-courses/ceo-of-a-sports-organisation/

Interesting, who'd have thunk it!

Rich mentioned that name on the pod the other week. Anybody know anything more about him?

‘Professional gambler’

As are/were Tony Bloom at Brighton and Matthew Benhamat Brentford.

If he has been appointed as a director you'd expect to see some sort of media release explaining his involvement.

He is not a director as per Companies House, but sometimes they take a while to update. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/xSkt_9PNXqCmgkCT0oCcEb4dSMA/appointments

Weren’t they long term fans of said clubs? It will just need some sort of explanation in terms of his reasons for getting involved and role as gambling is a bit of a controversial area especially in football.
