Hardly a decent replacement for Alex Hunt is she!
We need new players not a CEO for another non league campaign.

Bizarre timing and somebody at GTFC is either not reading the current mood of the fans or more likely doesn't give a intercourse.

We need a CEO and it was probably thought it would distract from the current mood, which is underestimating how bad things are right now. I'm sure she's happy to be on board and hopefully doesn't result in a load of payoffs and legal cases like the last new CEO caused. Edit. Sounds like a decent appointment

I accept that we need a CEO quite how we've managed to entice her from MUFC I don't know? What I meant was Hunt goes out on loan more misery and negative news regarding the team and then this story half hour later hmmmmmm These are strange times in terms of on and off field priorities.

If we're prepared to pay enough to bring in someone from Man U it's not inconceivable that we could fire Artell and bring in someone until the end of the season to keep us away from the drop. Is it?
How well does she know Serina Wiegman? Or Emma Hayes?

That's a big commitment as with that sort of pedigree she will command a big salary. It doesn't bear thinking about if we go down as she doesn't start here till the summer.

Good luck to her and hope she’s successful & happy in the role.
Hope the club now allow the back office staff to get on and leave the public-facing stuff to the players and management. These people don’t need the same level of scrutiny as the playing staff & don’t need thrusting in front of cameras & microphones at every opportunity.

“Town’s new CEO will oversee all aspects of the club, including the men’s, women’s and Academy teams and commercial activities”.
Fair enough, but I hope the owners have stated to her that the split of workload needs to be heavily weighted towards the men’s team, which will be new to her.
If she’s as good as Debbie then great, but if she’s been brought in to give more balance to all aspects of the club and a clear move away from the men’s team being the priority, she’ll get a shock by the fans’ reaction.
I have my fingers crossed that she’ll take us forward, and especially that we’ll still be in the EFL next season (which is far from certain).

Well said mate the only two I knew where Lisa and Wraithy cos they'd been there years . Just quietly let them get on in the background What really matters is sorting out the men's first team so it can compete .

Having read what the club have said about her and what she has done she looks like she would be better employed replacing Artell.

It’s not MUFC though, it’s their women’s team. Listening to The Price of Football this morning was good timing, as Kieran McGuire was saying they have turnover of £7m, 80% of which is from marketing, not gate receipts. Hopefully she’s got some good ideas. McGuire was actually full of praise for MUFC women for how, as a small company, they’re not legally obliged to declare everything, but they still do it, saying their accounts are completely transparent. The pod also concentrated on Crawley today, who apparently have lost £80,000 pounds every week in the past year. Madness, but it’s what we’re up against.

I agree the appointment sounds good with where she's come from. But I doubt she was highly paid, the women's game has no money in it, even at the big clubs

What legal cases ? Pay offs ? Expand on this
There were 2 legal cases that I know of against the club due to how she treated them and how their employment ended. 3 people got forced out and paid off, 2 of them then got asked to help out afterwards but refused because of how they were treated. The 3rd took a payoff and left, but didn't want the hassle of a legal case even though everybody in the office thought it was constructive dismissal. Several others left, but I don't know the circumstances other than they didn't like the working environment. Anybody who praises what DC did knows absolutely nothing about what she actually did. She cost the club an absolute fortune and all these people were hard working individuals that were not replaced with better.

"helped deliver major new facilities at the club’s training ground"
Sounds useful. Maybe a kick up the bottom might also help in getting our 'new' training ground up and running.
Her track record is second to none. Lets hope she still has friends in high places when it comes to loan deals or players who are not playing.

Do we need a CEO? Chief Executive Officer is the top person in an organisation which reports to the board and is the face of the company. The board lays down broad brush requirements, the CEO puts that into practice. Yes? Did DC sack PH? Did DC employ DA? Did DC have fans forums? As I remember all that was done by JS. What actually did DC do?

Good luck with that. That’s potentially libellous. Sure John will help you out if they come for you.

Don't they all hate her because all Man Utd Women's best players keep leaving? That's hardly the CEO's fault is it? If the club won't stump up the cash and they get poached by Arsenal / Chelsea then that's on the ownership, not the CEO.

I think ot sounds more like her involvement in the appointment of Skinner. What I'm hoping for is that she has solid contacts on the commercial side, let's be right, we need some investment to take some weight off Stockwood and Petits wallets tbh.

Should be perfect experience for when she gets here as by then Rose will probably be on his way and all of our decent players will have left.

You don't have to sign a form like that before leaving. If people chose to, then that was down to them.

Everyone who left under the new owners had to signed disclosure form before leaving, stating they were was not allowed to speak about anything them leaving the club. FACT.
That is very common in termination agreements.

Is Pen Penfras actually Ian Fleming? I've always assumed so, but never known for sure.

Good luck to her.
She will be using GTFC as a stepping stone into the men's game where the salaries are mode much lucrative. Let's hope she makes some positive changes

Looks like a good appointment, good luck to her.
Despite the opinions of some people Debbie did a good job and if she used compromise agreements to get rid of some of “the furniture” then so be it, this happens every day.
On so many levels the club was a shambles and a few employees took supporters for granted & had zero pride in their paid work.

It would be interesting if you were to name those employees or are you just assuming?

Copied from a man utd women's supporters comments, on the appointment
"She was put in charge of our contracts and allowed our two biggest players contracts to run out, and go for free ,when we'd had big offers a few months earlier .All our contracts were mis -handled while she's been here ,and they had to draft in people from the mens set up, to bail her out ,she was about to be sacked by sir jim ratcliffe anyway ,so shes jumped before he had the chance. She was totally out of her depth"

By all accounts, Jim Ratcliffe sacks everybody (Ten Hag, beware…), but the appointment does worry me. Seems very much like the FGR female coach experiment to me. This will undoubtedly get red crosses galore, especially after DC’s era, but the whole women’s team thing sounds like a modern day box ticking exercise to me. However, she deserves a chance. And before I get the ‘sexist’ tag attached, maybe you’re right. I don’t really care. I just care about the men’s team - formerly known as Grimsby Town Football Club. It’s all any of us care about, no matter what society tells you that you should think.

Did Sir Jim say he was going to sack her ? I thought he spoke about having a new super stadium. BUT Can't see where he said he was going to sack anybody.

Quoted Text
Ineos plan women’s team shake-up
The behind-the-scenes overhaul at United is not limited to Erik Ten Hag’s team. Confidential understands Ineos are also planning changes on the women’s side ahead of next season.
Polly Bancroft was appointed head of women’s football in October 2022, but Mail Sport understand she's set to leave the club.
There has been talk of disorganisation behind the scenes and Ineos want to ensure a smoother process when it comes to transfers and contract negotiations.
Bancroft was originally handling these areas before Sam Barnett, who has now left the club, was drafted in from the men’s side to help during the summer. United’s transfer negotiator Matt Hargreaves and women’s player recruitment lead Harvey Bussell also became involved.
Sounds messy. Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sp.....n-Harry-Maguire.html

I'm pleased to see that the knives are out for the new CEO before she's even started the job.
I, for one, am shocked that we have employed somebody who wears dresses. Down with that sort of thing etc etc.

The same place where you found your daft comment about 'not being allowed to say anything because she's a woman', I suppose.

With your in depth, expert knowledge of the BCorp application process I would be grateful if you could explain how this appointment assists our application. And what exactly is it about Polly being a woman merits your apparent ire? Finally,with your in depth expert knowledge of footballing CEO's I would be grateful to know who would've been on your short list n who you would've appointed instead

Hardly a decent replacement for Alex Hunt is she!
We need new players not a CEO for another non league campaign.
No… no she isn’t! I’d even go as far to say that I’ll safely assume she’s never played played a centre midfield role in men’s professional football in her life! Thanks heavens she is coming in as CEO and not to play the deep lying playmaker role! Close one that, thanks for spotting!

It says that since coming in 2022 to man u women she has helped grow attendances and commercial income - well if a boiled potato was appointed then it would have achieved the same as all women's teams have seen an upsurge in interest and sponsorship etc. It's only relevant if she has achieved more than would have been expected anyway, given that man u women are 2nd in the world for income that may well be the case.
No doubt if she's a success she won't be here long as we are an entry for her into being a CEO on the more lucrative mens side of the game, but nothing wrong with that and it will mean she has been a success with us. The fact man u brought people from the men's side of the organisation to discuss contracts on her watch though is quite a bit of an alarm bell.
I do hope that this isn't going to herald GTFC womens games at BP though, the pitch won't take double use and it's incredibly expensive to replace as we recently found out. That would be a massive and expensive error we can't afford in my opinion.

You couldn’t justify having the women’s games at BP, they’re not professionals. It’d be like letting a random 22 posters on here have a kick around. You wouldn’t let two teams from Division 9 of the Grimsby Sunday League play there, and that’s about the level. The women’s team are very lucky to have the chance to represent the club, as there are thousands of us that’d love to but can’t (because we’re not good enough!).
