Ian Ayre being replaced ?

[aws]

Looks like he's dealing with Ayre's old commercial job leaving Ayre to continue in charge of vision, strategy ,being in control generally etc.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Tbf, he has been good on the commercial side of things. Helping to bring in a lot more money for the club. He is a good commercial director and that's the position he should go back to because, he's not good enough to be the MD of a club the size of ours imo.

 

The biggest deals weren't done by Ayre where they or at least it was alluded to on various media. Warrior was done in Boston by FSG and standard chartered was brokered by Jason mcateer.

[Ranxerox]

Sadly Ayre will still be the 'football brains" of the club.

[RedinSweden]

Look at this fucking guy

 

 

This guy is only here to act as a prop for Henry and Werner. He'll be the eyes and ears for FSG, their little minion, i can see it in his eyes. This won't end well.

 

He looks like the Paul Frank monkey.

Excellent news.

[aws]

If he wears cuban heels, he'll soon find his way onto a few avatars on here.

[Bobby Hundreds]

He looks like carragher if he hosted an American day time tv news show.

He looks a bit like the Yankee version of John Bishop.

And that's a good thing, then, is it? I thought the idea was to replace one with someone more knowledgeable?

 

BTW, I dont place any weight on twatter rumours.

 

Yeah I'd hope they'd do that, this rumour keeps popping up but it looks like it's just that, a rumour without much substance.

[Garrincha]

 

Hey brahs, it's like so cool being in Inger-land, i'm a massive fan of Jason Statham man, he's like such a badass. So this soccer thing, i hear it's really big over here, when are the drafts? i cant wait for us to kick this curse of the bambino. Were gonna win so many matches this fall, it's gonna be real swell.

[Guest ShoePiss]

Wonder if he went to Cornell? Reminds me of Andy Bernard from The (American) Office.

[The Flâneur]

Was he interviewed for the Dunder Mifflin job?

Hasn't he been doing that for 12 months?

[Carvalho Diablo]

Henry needs to give Ayre is swift ultimatum :

 

You shit upon honorable agreements and press for fresh demands. Tell me dickhead, how will you pay for Aspas release if found? Hmm? His transport? Do you shoot magic coins out of your ass? If so, squat and produce!"

Yep but I think there's a train of thought that Hogan was bought in as Commercial Director from Fenway Sports Management, a similar job, so he could get used to his surroundings for a year, learn a lot more, before being given the CEO job full time.

 

Talking about CEO's etc

 

Arsenal have just replaced 73 year old Chairman Peter Hill-Wood with...73 year old Sir Chips Keswick.

 

Sir Chips Keswick. That is all.

That's about right. It's not vital that a CEO is a football genius - is any Premier league CEO really a 'football man'? What is important is that they're ultimately professional, show strong and clear leadership, leave the football to those directly involved and don't have a name like 'Ayre'.

[Nightcat]

Creepy woman, walking down the street

Creepy woman, looking creepy creep

Creepy woman, talks to Ayre

Creepy woman makes him stay

Former woman with the creepy eyes

Agree with that. For me the CEO is basically a top level administrator, it's the people below him that are important, a football man and a commercial man is needed.

 

The problem with Parry was that he was doing all three jobs, problem with Ayre before Hogan came in was he was doing all three as well. Wouldn't actually mind Parry as the CEO in the set up we have now.

 

Seems now we have the CEO (Hogan) The commercial man (Ayre or whoever else if they choose to get rid when Hogan is appointed) and an as yet unnamed football man (think that was supposed to be Commoli's job, a director of football if you like, but obviously that didn't turn out well). If this 'collegiate' football decision body works then we may not need that.

[gmac]

I wouldn’t wish harm on many individuals. He is a self serving, horrible person. We all probably know his equivalent in higher management within our respective spheres of work. Say one thing one day, deny it the next, morally corrupt but commercially and career aware. The commercial argument that he’s done well in that roll won’t suffice, he’ll be looking to undermine anyone placed above. Getting back, I wouldn’t wish harm on many, but if one day I read he’d crashed his ‘Harley’ into a support structure on the M62 I’d shed no tears, would many?

...leaving Ayre to continue in charge of vision, strategy ,being in control...

 

[MajesticSuarez]

I made the same comment on a thread a couple of weeks back and was called a spastic. The rumours are boiling hot that Ian Ayre is being replaced as CEO by Billy Hogan. Ian Ayre is set to return to his previous role as part of the commercial team alongside Phillip Nash.

[xerxes]

Is correct. Billy Hogan will be our new CEO. Ian Ayre will remain as MD.

 

If true, it entrenches Ayre's status as a placeman, and FSG's desire for control above innovation.

Spotted him across a crowded bar in Manchester on Friday. Wondering now if I should have brained him with a long range throw of a bottle, in subway-tin of beans style.
