When his name got mentioned I bought Jason Stockwood's book "Reboot", more out of curiosity than anything else. It's quite business focused, but it's worth a read nevertheless.  The one thing that shone through more than anything was how completely different his approach is to anything we've got at the minute.  I mean, it's not even leagues apart.  We're talking galaxy levels of difference.  It's definitely the type of thinking and mindset I want in my football club.

Here are a few lines from a chapter called 'Give Back Control'.  "A good leader in today's world isn't just looking at what they can personally influence or make happen; they are working to build a business that, in it's everyday operations, effectively functions without them."  Jesus, can you imagine the current board taking that approach?  

This guy will move this club forward.  I'm not saying he'll turn us into a Champions League outfit or anything like that. But he'll move us forward in ways we couldn't dream about before.  

Amongst the other things he talks about in his book are clear that it's not just about him or whoever's at the top.  It's about everyone.  His book talks about employees but if we transfer that to the football club, we're all stakeholders.  I personally want a football club were our views are actually considered, valued and utilised.  My feeling is that someone like Stockwood wants that too.

This is a golden opportunity for the club, we can't let it slip.

That is encouraging.  The leadership and management of our Club could fast-forward about 50 years.

It’s always been said that a true test of leadership is how work and a team functions when the leader is not there.  The business should be able to work effectively without the boss.

His company was voted one of the top 100 to work for in the country, 3 or 4 tears ago.

Not "one of the", it was the top company to work for.

Apologies if this has already been posted but it’s worth listening to.

Comes across as genuine and forward thinking as DHM says.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

This also a nice read from him:

I can relate to a lot of that.
