Forum leap - he's working for the Glazers
He’s been moonlighting as a window cleaner?
There isn't even that many people there. And with the roles they have won't be that difficult to replace. Not a huge dealsome might be pushed. Others leaving on their own accord is what I’m being told.

What’s his experience kenilworth?He hasn't really done anything notable during his tenure other than the absolute bare basics. You can surely see why DK wants to potentially get rid and either replace him with someone of a far higher calibre or take on the role himself?
I’m intrigued as to why Pete liked this.we will see. If non of the hierarchy have left by next week then asteroid has missed us
Long term yes, short term not ideal
Timing is impeccable. if that was the plan then surely ideal timing would have been end of May. Not in the coming weeks
Ray Ranson is coming back to replace BoddyIf anyone has a rumour or has dreamt one up which could be a good rumour that might be true or not or just wishful thinking can you get it off your chest and post it asap . I need a new rumour to moan at
New owners mean changes at any business, often it's not personal but ultimately they will want to make such changes that they feel will improve the business, it really shouldn't be a surprise. It seems clear from the little we all glean, that King likes to micro manage and is possibly not a team player. I dont like that approach but its his business ultimately. I worry as much about Hamer not staying, I appreciate wage structures and the like but for FFS he is the best player many of us seen for 25+ years.I know those within the commercial team in particular are concerned as essentially they saw this summer as a bit of a watershed moment - in terms of none particularly felt that they were secure in their roles and the microscope was very much on them.
That's not really all that uncommon when a new owner comes in though. They'll often look to clear the decks as soon as they walk through the door.
Again, not really sure why this is such a big deal?
There would've been zero time to onboard a new Head of Commercial/CEO in May/June.
It would've been impractical to do it in May due to the POs, and following that the club had to act quickly in getting the ST/hospitality prices in place in June. Then there's sorting the sponsorship packages and liaising with existing sponsors regarding next season - with which a new CEO/Head of Commercial wouldn't have any existing relationship.
Ideally the change would have been made sooner if not for finishing in the POs. But circumstances clearly changed last minute.
This is the entire team. You're not going to get all of them just jumping ship straight away as its their livelihood. Agree it may make things more difficult to run behind the scenes for a month or so but shouldn't be too bad

I think it’s obvious King doesn’t think much to the people running things day to day. As in he thinks they are incompetent and don’t have any basic business sense.
Remember runs his own hedge fund as well. He’s taken this on in terms of a failing business and to make it viable. Difficult of course when it comes to football.. but he’s hands on and heads will roll inevitably.
Match day hospitality exec. Is that gus’s partner?This is the entire team. You're not going to get all of them just jumping ship straight away as its their livelihood. Agree it may make things more difficult to run behind the scenes for a month or so but shouldn't be too bad

many of the above is probably a factor in the ultimate decisions made by the people involved and or by the club.
Sponsors have been an issue especially with previous sponsors being told to cough up double on last year.
Will King coming on board to run the marketing side?

In all fairness to Boddy he actively opposed the price increases set by DK. He knew that they would be met with uproar and box holders, commercial partners and sponsors alike would be up in arms. Not that DK listened.
I still don't particularly understand what you're getting at though with the cryptic messaging. From my perspective it really won't be as melodramatic as you're inferring.
OK I’ve got this figured from the various clues and some confirmed information.This is the entire team. You're not going to get all of them just jumping ship straight away as its their livelihood.

not cryptic. more respectful until it’s official. plus I haven’t mentioned any names per-se. If or more so when it’s common knowledge I can elaborate.
Hope not
The blokes that successful he lives on a boat, begs tickets off fans for games and nauses everyone off the weirdo
Doug kingWho?
Wouldn’t be saying that if one of those that leaves is robinsWhich is fair enough but I think you've already let the cat out the bag really by instigating this discussion.
Like I said though regardless of the reasoning, which I very much doubt will be as shocking as you're making out, it's been fairly obvious for some time that there inevitably was going to be a significant shake up. It's unfortunate for those involved as it's their livelihoods but fundamentally part and parcel of working within football.
Yeah, but he isn't leaving but pretty pointless thing to sayWouldn’t be saying that if one of those that leaves is robins
That's true. Is he?Wouldn’t be saying that if one of those that leaves is robins
1 way ticket for Vik?You'd think they'd want players in before they go to Portugal
Doug king
Absolute rubbishIt’s a fair bet we would have not made the play offs without his intervention isn’t it?
what impact did he have on the performance of the first team last year?
