He didn't even manage to last six months with us!

"New endeavours", apparently.

Perhaps he has got a new Star Wars soundtrack to compose?

Perhaps he couldn't face being the CEO of the club which beat Halifax three times by New Years Day and having to be there watching it! 🤔😂🤣



PS. Tongue firmly in cheek!

I had a weird feeling about him early on, but he appeared to be doing and saying the right things.

Maybe there is more going on than we know now we have a middle management 😂

I think that's possibly what's happened too. I wonder whether we'll ever know?

I had a feeling very early doors that he wouldn’t be here long. Talk the talk etc.

Maybe we're looking to cut costs!

If that's the case then  the board really screwed up in having any CEO just six months ago. I believe this board is far better than that at financial planning.

All speculation as the club aren’t going to officially release the actual reason he’s gone but given he was deemed the best candidate for the job only 6 months ago (and poached from a direct rival to boot) its a very rum do.

Only two realistic reasons I can think of-he’s got a better off elsewhere & jumped ship, in which case we’ll all find out soon enough anyway. Or he’s done something naughty and/or deemed not up to it hence we’ve binned him off quickly. Difficult in such a short time to assess his impact but average gates slightly below the last 2 seasons & football for a fiver against Kiddy did not return anywhere near the gate we wanted I suspect. On the plus side Hospitality has been selling out recently & then there’s the imminent shop in the town centre.

Oh well we move on, it’s hardly Parky & Sorvs leaving.

All speculation at the moment.... unless someone knows otherwise ! , did he go or was he pushed ?  Interested to see if or when we search for a replacement.

Perhaps he was without a Plan B?

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