blahblahblah 2 Posted May 5, 2009 I''m not convinced that changes at boardroom level would have much impact on what happens on the pitch. But I am curious to know who people think could come into the boardroom and make a difference to NCFC, because I can''t think of any names that come to mind. Ipswich appointed the guy who co-ordinated Team GB for the Beijing Olympics as CEO, a sports administrator but not a football man.If it was in your power to do so, Who would you remove, and who would you replace them with ?

Better connected people than us might have a reasonable idea, but as always I doubt it will be as simple as removing x or y to turn our situation around.

The Walking Man 13 Posted May 5, 2009 I believe that to be a director of a football club or chief exec, you must have a sound business and financial background and also understand what it means to be involved in a football club. This way the club is run in such a way it is run most efficiently yet takes into consideration that you cannot hire and fire staff every 5 minutes. I don''t think it totally necessary to have a ''football man'' on the board because how many of such people have any knowledge of how to run a business?

Rustys 1st Touch 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Maybe Keith Wyness who did a great job at Everton. Again ambitious I know but I think the criteria for a new CEO should be a background of running a football club. It is not like any other business and needs quite a unique type of individual.

ZLF 271 Posted May 5, 2009 Anyone with decent whole business acumen usually earns a damn sight more than £180k pa or whatever it is. What is the average wage of the chief exec of a company empoying how many people and a £12m/£25m whatever it is at the moment turnover.Who can determinedly say what NDs job is let alone point accurately to the parts he is not doing well? Unlike the football managers job I am not clear on what his role is. Is investment seekin his or the owners responsibility? Is his job to run NCFC ltd/plc whatever it is within the budget plan, including cointingencies? Has he hit those targets or not? Do you know? I dont?This is not a ND support-pod-cast - but we talk about replacing him without being clear whether he is doing the job he has been asked to do well or not, whether there is a better candidate out there, criticising his wage without knowing whether the wage is average, high or low for his responisbilities. Are we really just saying he needs to be replaced simply because he comes across as an odiously arrogant twerp in his dealings with fans? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary02 III 0 Posted May 5, 2009 I shall risk my life by saying this but in all areas other than football I think they do a decent job. Certainly the off-pitch portfolio is the envy of many a Championship or even Premiership club, but of course this is also part of the reason that they have gone astray. I think that to a man the board are happier with improving off-pitch activities so they stick to what they''re good at and leave the football side to someone else. Unfortunately they''ve made that someone else the manager and when you pick a bad manager the rest falls down around it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rightly or wrongly Doncaster will always be seen as one of the characters who presided over the demise (hopefully temporarily) of Norwich City. A new man (or woman) might be the breath of fresh air that this club needs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rustys 1st Touch 0 Posted May 5, 2009 I think ND believes his role is to manage off field activities and not to appoint the managers. He was at pains to stress that it is the board who appoint the managers but I can''t help but feel he must have some say in the final decision. For example I presume he is involved in the drawing up of the ill-fated managerial shortlists in recent years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
