We have a chief executive, that they've decided to keep because of his knowledge of the football industry, but have given him a different title doing the same job. Hiring another expensive executive, whose job will be to direct other people to do things, seems like it could be done by a consultant to direct the staff in the direction we want to go and give them autonomy once the direction is established. I also see very little crossover in the things we want to improve between the YMCA or a health company and a football club.
And yet the decision to employ said CEO was made by two highly successful, multi millionaire businessmen. I have a feeling they know their onions.

Not sure if you have ever worked in a successful business but I think you will find that they all have CEOs and many also have COOs. I’ve never heard anything so bonkers as hire a consultant who sets a strategy and then leaves and after that no leadership is needed.

Ahh, so we're the only ones smart enough to know that we'll definitely get promoted with 2 expensive executives. Hopefully nobody else figures that out before the start of the season. Ps, I think Bradford have several ridiculous positions, hasn't helped them.

Ever since JF left, you've been a right miserable sod. Unlike the rest of us who were miserable while he was in charge.

Consultant or CEO, it doesn't matter as long as they are there long enough to set the right strategy especially seeing as she was only at her last position for a couple of years.

No names mentioned but someone who used to work for town closely with the first team said how we literally used no technology. This is a breathe of fresh air. Another massive step in the right direction. Utfm
Russell Slade brought in an analyst, when he left Anthony Limbrick and Michael Jolley were doing their own analysis with AL doing the most if it and sending stuff out to individual players and when they left Ian Holloway brought in a young lass who did it. As for no technology, Alan Buckley didn't use it and he didn't do too badly. At the end of the day you can have the best analyst and the best software but if your players aren't good enough it means sod all.

Just as an FYI consultants are EXR\TREMELY expensive and would absolutely cost more per hour than our CEO. They are also rarely invested in the job as it's a temporary paycheque for them somewhere that they have no attachment to, and to repeat what's been said they usually implement either staff ideas or things tried previously and then walk away with no future recourse.
