He's got the experience and, appointed by the new board & Chair.Full-time and based at the training ground every day. On paper, exactly what’s needed, as well as Ferguson replacing Tiger as Chairman.
Let’s hope the new CEO is strong enough to wag the tail. He needs to be in charge and not allow himself to be bowled over.
Sure does. As well as his very senior roles at Inter Milan and Man United over the last decade, he was until recently the Managing Director at Tifosy, who advise on finance and capital strategy for the likes of Juventus, Inter Miami, Rangers, Parma and others. He’s proper.He's got the experience and, appointed by the new board & Chair.
Are we acting like a big club, yet?
Our previous owners combined couldn't compete with this lot. We're talking billions here. Not robbing pension funds or asylum seeker hotels or merchant banker dreamers.Certainly looks like we're getting there. Given our previous owners experience I can understand why the jury would still be out though. I enjoy watching you shout it from the rooftops till you're blue in the face, makes one hopeful!
I do it because unless people believe in the board’s attempts to push us on at pace and develop expectations that align with their goals then it will hold the entire club back, and we do not have time to lose. Fans need to stop believing that this is our level and that it can’t get any better than Karl Robinson giving them a wink and blowing them a kiss.Certainly looks like we're getting there.

I would like to believe we could follow in the footsteps of Brighton.I do it because unless people believe in the board’s attempts to push us on at pace and develop expectations that align with their goals then it will hold the entire club back, and we do not have time to lose.

I’ve seen more than one poster in recent weeks say that we aren’t a big club and never will be. Those people need to be left behind. The club is moving forward and the quickest way for people to help that happen is to push it, not hold it back because they like supporting a parochial little football club, or because they insist on clinging to the legs of individual personalities like frightened toddlers.

Good!We've got better backers than Brighton.
I like supporting a parochial little football club! But I’d like it to be at the level Brentford are at too - it doesn’t have to lose it’s soul in the processI do it because unless people believe in the board’s attempts to push us on at pace and develop expectations that align with their goals then it will hold the entire club back, and we do not have time to lose.
