Silvio Dante Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 3 minutes ago, The Journalist said: Is Bristol City’s new CEO. Slightly left-field but lots of experience at Crystal Palace. Not heard of before today but as you say, 26 years as CEO of Palace under various regimes and through the club being in admin twice suggests he ticks the experience box. Although a CEO who oversees a club going into admin doesn’t seem a great look! Pros for me is that if I look at Palace they bring through youth and use the academy well, so fits with the ethos. Clear experience and at a very good level. Seems a good fit at first look. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Looks a good appointment on the face of it, a football man with loads of experience at the top. It`s also good IMO that he has 5-6 weeks of working with Richard Gould before he leaves rather than the club floundering around in February with no-one in charge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, the fact Palace wanted him to continue is a really good sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he left but they still wanted him engaged is good Extract from link, but very positive from ex employer - Chairman Steve Parish commented: “Phil has been an integral part of CPFC for the last 26 years, and it’s fair to say his contribution to the club is immeasurable. Quite apart from his unswerving loyalty, day-to-day hard work, Phil has been the most loyal of servants steering the club through not one, but two, periods when the very existence of the club was threatened. “During those two administrations Phil was instrumental in holding the club together. He brought in the management team that kept the club in the championship in 2010 on that famous day in Sheffield and set the club on course for where it is today. “We wish him every possible success in his new job. On a personal note I would like to publicly thank you Phil, you’ve been brilliant to work with we’ve had an enormous amount of pressure at times but also a huge amount of fun. "Good luck mate, we look forward to seeing you back at Selhurst sometime soon.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 A very positive appointment, could probably teach Richard a thing or two about being a football CEO Some good news at last and he’s here for the January window, I expect to see a lot of player movement. He will have a lot of experience dealing with agents etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street red Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 At last a steady experienced CEO hopefully now this will kick us on as Pearson said we need to stick together and have patience a man like Alexander with experience of clubs close to admin and lacking the cash we can move away from this period. I've become frustrated with the Lansdowns but they seem to be getting the message. Good appointment in my book. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) I don't know anything of him or why he wants to leave Palace, but appears to be a cracking appointment. Specially with the little Tweet from 3Peaps. EDIT: Ok, so was CEO at Palace from 96 and after a short break has been working as consultant for Palace. Did 26 years with the Club , so no fly by night.

GrahamC Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 On the surface looks a very good appointment. Also no obvious connection with anyone currently employed by us which I see as a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Imo RG is a hard act to follow but this guy has an impressive CV so hopefully he’ll be able to utilise his knowledge and experience when he joins us. He’ll obviously have numerous contacts within the industry all most certainly more than RG has who, let’s face it deep down he’s a cricket man and has landed the top job in the ECB. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted December 28, 2022 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I've met Phil Alexander a few times over the years when campaigning for safe standing and always found him approachable and friendly. It looks like a good appointment to me, not least as it has been made in a timely fashion, leaving a good hand-over period between Richard Gould and him. 14 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
