The Chairman didn’t really expand too much on the new CEO and why he was the stand out candidate for the job. I’d imagine it will be much more difficult to move a CEO on than a player etc. How will his performance be judged?! Am sorry but money for old rope springs to mind. Surely it’s a full time role CEO or it looks like you’re not really focused on the job in hand. He’s an advisor to several companies and doesn’t seem to have any experience in the world of football other than his time on the board here. You will get quoted that the CEO is paid from a different budget to the playing budget but it’s difficult to justify a big salary when we are struggling to sign players who would want a similar salary and are far more useful to the Club. As you say we are a small business with a simple business model and this appointment and a CFO needs to be explained in far more detail or unfortunately it does look like jobs for the boys. Self promotion and networking seem to be creeping in everywhere……But apparently struggling to invest in the Squad.
We have been here before with Norrie Stewart of course and that did not end well.
ECFC runs a small business with a simple business model.
Do we need a CEO, even if part time ?
