I'm not trying to be facetious, but I think a lot of people share that view. 🤔

Maybe didn't fancy the Q & A and being quized about what he does.🤥

I am puzzled by what a CEO is, and  does.

Would you prefer the term "Managing Director" They are in essence the same role?

Top dog in the building reporting to the board that owns the company. Buck should stop with them in terms of business decisions that adhere to the running operations.

I get that in retail ie Tesco and Sainsbury's etc but in a none league football club with modest turnover I think it's financially prudent to satisfy the criteria with one of the chairman fulfilling the role as they must have been doing pre CEO and will continue to do so now.

Unless Sam takes it on on a permanent basis?

With respect, we're no longer an old school non league operation. We're a full time, professional football club that costs well over a million quid a year to run within a full time, national competition. The title of CEO might be a bit grand but there's no way you could have a chairman doing a full time CEO job like that at this level

I suppose it depends what your business income is and how big a loss you are making. Would a CEO have a magic wand to close the gap or just be another overhead?

[Amsterdam Alty]

It's not just the money you bring in as a CEO. They are there day to day and improve processes internally that can also affect bottom line.

Sam does just fine on the commercial side so for a club like ours we're looking for someone who streamlines the rest and picks up the slack having 2 long distance Chairmen causes.

Negotiating better stewarding deals, improving revenue streams such as retail etc.

The team is succeeding because the management of the playing side is top class. The matchday experience etc. Improves when we have top class people in place there as well.

My tip for the board is we get an operations person in not a sales person and let Sam do that side, if it's working. Unless we've decided that Levi is that man.

Fab! That's my learning done for today.

Thank you

For anyone who is still intrigued by this (as I evidently am), he has updated his LinkedIn to say "Open to Work - New Opportunities Welcome". So I assume that scuppers the idea that he left for another job.

Ooooh. That is intriguing.
