Coppello Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 2 hours ago, petehinton said: Brilliant. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully not too probing….do you think he applied for the job or was approached? No problem. In all honesty I have no idea. When he took the consultancy role at Wycombe I assumed it was part of semi-retirement so I was quite surprised to see him appointed at City. Football is quite a close community so I wouldn’t be surprised if he was approached following a recommendation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Musicworks Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Interesting that he said Richard Scudamore is very involved here and I wondered in what capacity or if I had missed something previously about his involvement. It certainly helps the profile of the club I would imagine and maybe he is involved with attracting investors. That would make sense. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a fan with a profile who knows Lansdown and he talks to the directors and gives them advice when they ask for it. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Think all the talk of money and costs was just a continued early indicator for fan expectations as to what markets we'll be shopping in for a while, wouldn't be shocked if Ashton Gate's naming rights get sold though, came across as that sort of any chance for a buck as long as it makes sense sort of approach 1 minute ago, W-S-M Seagull said: That doesn't sound like he's "very much heavily involved" like Alexander says.

Unless Scudamore is heavily involved with SLs plans to source investment/find a buyer… who better to explain the potential of the club to a foreign invested than a man who used to run the Prem League. All speculation on my part…. I haven’t the foggiest!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to know if Scudamore is on the payroll at the club. For Alexander to say he is ‘heavily’ involved would suggest so. My understanding was that Scudamore was an unofficial consultant so to speak, this interview would more a less confirm that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
