Debbie Cook's heading to the EFL as their new 'Director of Community' in the upcoming transfer window. Congratulations to her, sounds like quite an impressive career move! (have we inserted a sell on clause!?? ) Will be very interesting to see who ends up being appointed to replace her:

I wish her good luck in a step up in her career, I believe she has done a great job as our CEO and along with our owners has steered us in the right direction . UTM


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

Congratulations to Debbie on getting her career move. I'm sure that JS and AP, with all their experience, will find a more than suitable replacement.
I wonder if JS, AP and DA knew about this prior to the appointment of DA as Head Coach?

Great for her, a bit of a pity for the club but as we've seen with the managerial appointment these days we seem to have a clear vision of the roles needed with the club and the type of person we want to fill them.  

Never hurts to have friends in high places, can she go the full Arthur Drewry though?  Only time will tell

But also a great endorsement of GTFC and 1878…the CEO of a league 2 club moving on to that hugely high profile role. I would say JS and AP will be absolutely delighted for her.

Good comments from Stockwood that it was always the plan to see her move onto bigger and brighter things.  

Also fits in with this identity thing that is the current buzzword around BP.  If things regress because one person leaves, you've not changed the culture and identify of your set-up at all.

You would certainly hope so - a mate texted me to wonder if the director of football might come back into play, in some sort of reorganisation

also will be interesting to see if they go down a non football person route or recruit from someone with a background in the game. Certainly they will have learnt a lot about the pluses and minuses of having a non footballing CEO

Goes to show what a great job she has done behind the scenes. Good on her and it’s our loss.

Her new role will hopefully invite less of all the angry blokes on Twitter incessantly giving her excrement and essentially driving her off social media.

Shame for, as she’s done a good job, but good for her. Good luck to her for the future.
