Nice to read he'll be relocating over here.

And so it begins - I expect upgrades across the Management team. Sink or swim time for some.

 

[Sorry Roger]

I expect ticket price increases, offset by revenue from our official South Korean sex toy partner.

About time we had a President of Business..... little old Bournemouth, hold on tight and await take off

Blimey, Bill presumably headhunting his old mucker away from his current job and then convincing him to move to the UK permanently to run the AFCB brand and business ! He's definitely not messing about is he ? Yikes !

But we did, we did!

We had a President of the Business of Business whose business it was to busy himself with all kinds of business. He was so successful that he went on to many top executive positions with a multitude of businesses.

Surely you remember Alastair Saverimutto?

I thought that as soon as I saw the title.

I trust this being a 'slight' upgrade

Well, a first glance one might think so. However, I managed to get a sneak preview of the upcoming biography of Alastair Saverimutto entitled, A Life in Elite Sport. These extracts are from chapter 2.

"I specialise in turning around sports businesses. When I took over at Bournemouth the club were languishing at the bottom of the league and the finances were in a perilous state. I rapidly devised a plan to save the business from my hotel room on the 5th floor of the Bath Hotel on the sea front as well as other renowned hotels."

"Without taking a penny in remuneration from the club, I single-handedly drove the business to a place where it had never been before. The rest is history. I can't take the whole credit, there were some other minor players, but, undoubtedly, I laid the foundation for the rise to the Premier League in record time."

"So, another success, yet another job well done. It was time to move on to the next challenge."

Much bigger range than a North Korean sex toy partner. Or so I’m led to understand.

 

[Sorry Roger]

Some words of caution about being President

 

[Kudos]

So it turns out even billionaires just give jobs to their mates too

Ohhh yes.....the king of bullsh!t.....whatever happened to him

I guess we shouldn't be surprised at all by this news, but it is still somehow jarring to read those words when talking about our little football team. Things like "SVP's" "ranked Top 5 in Team Revenue" etc. I get this stuff all day long in my work life but it's all a bit Wall St for my personal tastes.
