Seriously, I’m hoping we’ll see more professionalism and a vision of what it really takes to get to the prem or sell the club (from someone who has sone both elsewhere). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I said “more professionalism” meaning more of the same - but see that can be read a different way! What he adds is having actually run a club promoted. Also sold a club to new owners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 I think it’s very timely (bordering on a bit late), but good that he’s speaking whilst in handover territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I agree on the timing, thinking of it from a business perspective employees are usually told about a new guy coming in, but it's usually only the top levels they interact with on a daily basis during a handover period. The first time the rest of the staff may hear from them might be at conferences, video chats, over interactions after they have taken the role on permanently. For him to come forward too soon could have undermined RG in the last week's of his role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we should listen before being so cynically dismissive of someone we don't know anything about? Quite right. RG has done an excellent repair job after inheriting the mess created by Smarmy Ashton and the new guy will take over a well run organisation. He’ll have a wealth of knowledge of the football industry built up in the years he was Palace and bring his negotiation skills - he probably knows numerous agents by their first names. Rumour is that Alexander’s name was put forward by Richard Scudamore and if that’s true then that’s quite a recommendation. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gould didn’t have his finest hour in the interview when Pearson was absent with COVID, but I have genuinely believed everything that he’s said & think he’s been a force for good. I’m going to judge this new bloke on his actions, not his predecessors. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much anyone can predict anything that any player or CEO etc will say. They get PR training from in house PR staff who are employed for that reason.

Ivorguy Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 For what it’s worth, on paper looks an excellent choice. Yet, as others have said, depends on what he does, and that in turn on his relationship with owner and Chair, and, finally, and most importantly, what the chemistry between him and NP/ Tinnion will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely said ' for 4 or 5 players' - GT asked if those included Scott and Semenyo and RG waffled around a bit and basically said yes without actually saying the word yes! He also said players will go if the valuations are met. Obvious I know - but Nige hasn't gone that far yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was next to him in cafe Nero in town at the start of the season and said, somewhat creatively.....“have a good season, Zak”. I think I’m probably partly responsible for his upturn in form. 4 3 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
