headhunter Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Lives in Bristol, frequent visitor to Ashton Gate, out and out football man from the commercial perspective [retired Executive Chairman of the Premier League] who could provide leadership with Lansdown absent. He's 61 and 3 days per week might be attractive to him at half the cost of Ashton!!! Underpin him with Cook or Pearson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlastonburyRed Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Given his record in the football industry he's probably got more sense than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno. What you find with driven, successful people is that they find it hard to “do nothing”. I’d suggest that working part time at the club he’s a fan of would appeal greatly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 1 minute ago, The Bard said: What did he actually do in charge of the Premier League that is transferable to a Championship football club? Well. All the PL clubs gave him a sizeable whip round when he left. As a CEO, nobody would have more currency in football. You’re at Liverpool, if Mark Ashton rings you ask who the **** that is. If Scudamore rings, you take the call. He knows how to run a football organisation - and to probably keep his nose out of recruitment other than negotiating, which is what a CEO should do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Can’t see him as CEO, too much day to day work involved - but would be the perfect candidate as Chairman of the football club & would be great set of eyes for SL and oversee the management of MA in his CEO role. Problem is MA is far, far too confident for JL to manage Scudamore as chairman could very well be a Pat Lam level appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
