Will be interesting to hear / see some of his plans. As usual its the:

As priorities, I will look to develop the commercial opportunities and aim to improve our engagement with community, supporters and all stakeholders in the Club.

Just need to start seeing some action to match up with that.

What actually happened at Worcester?

From what I can see from a quick Google they planned a new stadium, planning was rejected but the stadium / land was sold at a reduced rate anyway to prevent being wound up and they didn't get enough to pay debts and build a stadium?

That's from about 4 or 5 articles so hardly an expert view, anybody know any more?

Like you both only just been reading about his cv shall we say.

He's despised at Worcester, all fingers point at him for the loss of there ground and failed to generate enough money to fund a new one so went on to ground share with Kidderminster.

Think he's since gone on to Newport county where maybe things improved under there promotions but had a wealthy backer I think.

Seems he's taking the blame to for other non league teams like Evesham having problems.

With TF being so pleasantly off the radar for a couple of months, ordinarily you would welcome such a decision but this is SISU and this guy already came in with a bad rep. However if his mandate is as he says “As priorities, I will look to develop the commercial opportunities and aim to improve our engagement with community, supporters and all stakeholders in the Club." then they are areas that do need desperate improvement and probably couldn't be much worse than they have been in recent times. I'm willing to give him a chance.

Sounds like he fucked up in the past. Under normal circumstances I'd be all about a fresh start etc. But he's been appointed by Sisu. And anybody connected to them at all other than the football side of things can piss off. I've got to separate the football side of things from Sisu otherwise I'd go mad.

Ultimately though. Unless he totally drops a huge bollock I don't really care.

Need to start seeing changes if they are priorities and noticeable differences.

Oh great, now the Sisu scumbag has even more grasp to cripple our club even more- if that's possible.

Would advise all supporters to be really warey of this character, he has a track record of attempting to destroy clubs.

The website is already infinitely better from a content point of view (not just the recent presentation changes). No idea if he's had anything to do with that but everything is much more timely and relevant there. That level of attention in the other areas he describes would go a long way. I'm starting to feel like I support a football club again.

The website uses a template that all EFL clubs use. Measure it on accuracy, how well it is written and whether it is up to date.

Well this is a step up a level.
Seems to have messed up big time at Worcester and begrudgingly accepts mistakes were made (but still blames the credit crunch and denies fans petitioning against him had any impact) that doesn't bode well as doesn't show regard for fans or a full ability to show self awareness.
Seems a bit of a non entity at Newport neither really positive or negative. It says he left to pursue other opportunities, however the fans make out the club themselves never renewed his contact so not sure either way there.
Is experience with the likes of Worcester and Newport good enough to mean you can become CEO of CCFC?
Let's wait and see.
To be honest I feel like the CEO is irrelevant unless he starts sticking his nose in MR's business.
Otherwise it's Joy and Tim calling all the shots anyway

Think SISU and Tim might be looking for a fall guy...........

Which bit of infinitely better from a content point of view didn't you understand? There's multiple articles a day, the community side is emphasised and the squads are maintained correctly and quickly (Biamou is already there). It's vastly improved and I will always give credit where it is due, you miserable council plant :kiss:
