Candidates to take over from Rick Parry as Chief Executive

[ratcatcher]

Edelman really has the best CV out of anyone

 

Yes,another excellent candidate. Is it a co incidence he's another ex arsenal employee?

What is also surprising is that commercially Arsenal are pretty poor from a revenue perspective.

[Baldi]

I know what a lot of people have said about David Dein doubting he would come, I heard a story from someone who used to work quite closely with the club in an accountancy capacity that Dein has been mentioned a couple of times in different circles and he has been actively courted by Hicks especially after Hicks requested that Parry left. He was impressed with what Dein had done with the Arsenal brand and especially his handling of the Emirates stadium. I for one would not be suprised if this did happen.

 

As for Parry, I think his main problem was that he was a chartered accountant trying to be a DoF !

[WaltonRed]

Edelman would be a good shout but Ayre will get it.

 

Advertising it is just lip service.

 

He's been getting it since day one.

[RSM]

Missed our chance. We should have jumped when the best candidate was looking for more legitimate business opportunities:

 

 

String would get my vote.

[Ted]

Benitez can do it can't he? Well, at least he probably thinks he can.

[Paul]

He'd probably get Raga got, though with a shrug and a throw away, "It's all in the game, yo".

I'd be surprised if we even made an appointment to be honest. With Rafa's new contract and new overseeing role (in charge of academy, transfers, budgets, contracts) what is the need for a CEO? Rafa won't accxept any candidate who wants to play an active role, and noone like Dein is going to take a diminished job.

 

Ayre will get 'promoted' but in truth his role won't change.

 

We're creating a club structure where all power radiates from the manager's office. That's not good ANYWHERE (even Wenger doesn't have budgetary control), but when Rafa finally goes, it leaves the club utterly fcuked...

[kop]

I haven't got a clue what kind of qualifications the various candidates have so I have no idea who's best suited for the job.

 

The candidate must have some knowledge in football matters so this one is as good as any for what I'm concerned.

[StevieH]

I see Brian Barwick was in the Directors Box at today's game.

Broughton: "You, you're good you."

[Wor Horse]

He's a red isn't he? Or a blue...

[Red Banjo]

Deffo a red

[RobbieOR]

Isnt Barwick a contender to get it? I imagine he will.

[StevieH]

Definitely a Red and perhaps a candidate for the role of CEO.

[Wor Horse]

Cheers lads. I wasn't sure.

 

I want a well known and capable football man for the new CEO, he'd be perfect.

[Trumo]

As an aside, did anyone else see Broughton joining in with YNWA?

[Red Nick]

Defo a Red

 

For those of you who remember us winning the CL in 2005 he had to step aside from the process to decide what was going to happen with Uefa because of his allegance to Liverpool

[Red Nick]

As an aside, did anyone else see Broughton joining in with YNWA?

 

Maybe he has converted from the darkside

[Il Fenomeno]

As an aside, did anyone else see Broughton joining in with YNWA?

 

Yeah, and the Tom Werner (?) guy next to him.

 

I don't want Barwick, his only 'experience' in football was appointing McClaren for England.

[ThewaytoRome]

He'd probably get Raga got, though with a shrug and a throw away, "It's all in the game, yo".

 

True dat

[shanks69]

I see Brian Barwick was in the Directors Box at today's game.

 

 

he's often at the game,he was even at woodison last week.

[Jim MM]

Very interesting to read through the early part of this thread knowing now what actually happened in the year and a half since. No mention of Purslow, this was at a time we were playing the best football of Rafa's reign and competing for the league and the CL. Nobody thought that the job would essentially be filled by a bank. And the "typo" about the £3m transfer fund, how innocent we were.

[Hermes]

Definitely a Red and perhaps a candidate for the role of CEO.

 

There should only be one candidate. The man who knows more than anyone ever employed by LFC, the man who can do any job at LFC and has already tried his hand at most of them.

 

Rafa Benitez.

[beejay]

The Sunday Times had a snippet yesterday saying that 2 Americans from NESV have joined the LFC Board of Directors but neither as CEO.
