Not sure his record for signing first team players, which he seemed to have a major hand in from my research is amazing, Jeremie Frimpong, Christopher Jullien, David Turnbull, Albian Ajeti and Vasilis Barkas. - From what I know maybe Frimpong for the resale value and perhaps Jullien have had much if any success

Hadn't read that, I guess that confirms it as a no thank you from me, although a lot of those names would improve us for sure so perhaps if he continues to target the same names, but maybe not for the 10's of millions it mentions he has spent on them
In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!
Different gravy here though. Cook is manager, not head coach like Lennon was so he'll [Cook] be responsible for identifying targets along with the new recruitment team.
Hammond was head of football operations at Celtic, so was responsible for identifying targets and recruiting them, along with Lennon.
Here, he's be CEO. It really is a totally different job. Not only that, given the nature of the funding, the Yanks are going to be super cautious.

yep, and PC will make it very clear that he will not work with a director of football.

But he has no experience as a CEO, which makes me think this is all nonsense.
Also, is it clear whether the ‘recruitment room’ thing is part of the new structure, or an Evans wheeze that will now not happen?
Interesting. When O'Leary was being interviewed he did say that they were looking to bring a 'UK' based CEO in, which at the time I thought was quite unusual language if they were looking to hire someone from an English League background. The thought crossed my mind that they might looking at someone from a Scotch club.

Hammond, as you say, doesn't fit the bill of an experienced CEO, so think it would be a surprise if he was in for the role. I've heard nothing to suggest it won't be Mark Ashton.

Yeah, but you kept telling us you thought the deal had stalled, so what do you know

The need for profits etc is what Mark Ashton is very very good at, yes there are alot of fans that don't like him, but from the clubs point of view, he is an ideal CEO in all aspects. Experienced, knows English football. Knows how to turn academy players into profits, knows how to get alot of money for players.
As long as there is a very stern talk that PC is incharge of managing the team, and there is 0 interference from M/A in this, there's no reason we should be concerned.

To give a serious answer to a joke comment, having spoken to people who knew what was happening as it happened since Wednesday, it had stalled on more than one occasion. Was very on-off over a fairly lengthy period and only finally got absolutely done early this week, although obviously the framework of the deal had been settled by that stage.
I hold my hands up that I should have had a story up at the weekend to say it was happening and again on Wednesday morning but for every source telling me it was happening, and I had a number of usually reliable ones telling me that was the case, someone else who I thought ought to know was saying they weren't aware that that was the case. I had a story written and should have gone with it earlier and the announcement came just as I felt I had enough to run it.

Ashton is well paid at Bristol C, why would he want to drop to L1? If we did get Ashton, despite his poor rapport with the fans there, it surely signals a massive coup to get him whilst we’re in L1 and suggests there are big plans in place.

His name has been associated with it right from the start hasn't it. Would be very surprised if it isn't him.

I hope you've binned off that other source, he cost you an exclusive!
