Where is our CEO...who is he?

[extonsred]

Pointed out this Missing Person issue some weeks ago and with the comments on Robby McCrorie topic thought it deserved a topic on its own. People in the club may see it and suggest he makes an appearance!!

Is that Ross mcCories brother?

[And Its Smith]

Doing his job probably

I don`t get this fixation with people demanding to hear from him every five minutes. Don`t we get enough info from Tins and NP? I`m sure if PA was giving interviews every five minutes he be criticised for hogging the limelight and not getting on with his job like previous CEOs we have had.

Do people demand a statement from the head of Tescos every time the price of beans goes up?

The head of tescos would be a very busy man if he made a statement every time food went up at the moment 

rip off Britain - rant over back to the football

[Shauntaylor85]

Where are any of them. No SL interview on Radio Bristol first game either, first time in a decade or so.

This was kinda my point the other day.  The structure has changed since RG.  Then there were only 2 of them, you heard from Nige or Gould.

You would imagine that with the promotion of Tins, there is less need for the CEO to talk football stuff.

I think we should’ve heard from in these early weeks of the season, but I don’t expect to hear loads from him.  We saw that sometimes Gould (who I really liked) was a bit clumsy on the football aspects in interviews.  Some of that might’ve been the questions aimed at him, but he wasn’t perfect.

I would expect Phil Alexander to be a guest on SOTC a week, or two, after the transfer window shuts!

COYR.

[Bristol Rob]

I think the bigger issue here is what does the head of communications or the director of communications do all day.

This - basically.

@Davefevs reckon he's duck taped and bound JL in the janitor's closet and hid the crayons while the sorts out the away kit?

Did they request an interview?

Don’t forget no Geoff 20pence, so possibly not being managed effectively?

[E.G.Red]

Was he particularly noticeable at Palace? Some CEO'S like to keep a low profile. How many CEOs at either Premier League or Championship can easily be named? Most aren't like Mark Ashton.

Well he isn't going to be busy with bringing new players in so what is he doing.

[RoystonFoote'snephew]

I tend to work on the basis that if your owner or chairman are front and centre in the news something is wrong. I expect to hear from the manager on football matters and from the CEO on financial matters and club policy when there's something to say.

You’d hope they are all busy working on getting this outside investment that SL keeps talking about..

I had to read that twice, I read missus first time round and was scratching my head as to what had I missed. 

[Mr Popodopolous]

No message at the start of the sredom save for the Guernsey interview from SL or Alexander is poor. IMO.

You don't want an Ashton type at all, but somewhere in the middle is usually about right.

I hardly doubt that would finance a stadium rebuild and state of the art training facilities not to mention the many millions spent on transfer fees and  wages which can all be directly attributed to Steve Lansdown's investment.Without the aforementioned Mr Lansdown you and a few other's on this forum wouldn't be  constantly  moaning and whinging  about a Championship club It's debarable whether there would be a club at all.

Problem being said infrastructure should have been the first things SL should have resolved. Not 16 years into his tenure.

As for the transfers spending and wages - directly caused by nepotism and poor planning followed by long periods of cost cutting that ultimately led the club back to league one - this time the exception due to Tinnion (academy) and Pearson (having faith in said players).

The stadium aspect doesn't mean a lot when due to the structure and layout (whole atyeo etc) we tend to have the atmosphere of a nunnery.

As for whether there would be a club - that's just falsely portraying SL as a Messiah. He's a mediocre owner with a lot of money and not much planning. Closest (former and current) owners to him in the EFL in terms of spending but lack of return are Chansiri and Mel Morris.

It's not that though is it. He's not spoken publicly since he was appointed in early 2023. Nearly 8 months of silence and non-communication.

It's a failure.

[Mr Popodopolous]

Phil Alexander. May 2023.

Plus.

He seems to have seen it all or a lot anyway.

Would be nice if he addressed us, the fans a little more through the usual channels though! Especially to clarify the position in context of 2 years of.cost cutting (necessary), austerity for 2-3 windows (necessary), sale of Semenyo (probably necessary). 

Now Scott sold and yes £20-25m but not to spend at least a bit more.
