BREAKING NEWS - Management Changes at the Club

I can remember reading that Richard Gee had resigned but can't remember anything about Massey, as he is the finance director surely he is more culpable than most as to the financial mess the club got into.

Apparently we can afford to pay consultants.  Now if we can hire back the tea-lady and a few footballers we will be in good shape.

Interesting that Paul Aldridge was involved in Milan Mandaric's takeovers at both Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester and held CEO position at both clubs (a position which has just become free here). I wonder if new investments on the cards or if MM is one of the names behind Inner Circle

I thought Mandaric had decided to retire from the football business. Didn't he say he wasn't now rich enough to run a Premiership club or a really competitive Championship side when he left the owls?

I could be wrong but I'm sure he gave an interview where he said he'd enjoyed owning three clubs but it was time for him to bow out because the money needed was beyond even his wallet now.

Peter I am taking an almighty leap on this and it is based on nothing but my thought process as outlined above no ITK or anything, but he doesn't need to own it all he could invest with others via inner circle.
There was someone on Twatter claiming to know someone associated with KA who has said he is part of the funding however I treat that as much scepticism as anyone, his ITK might even be reading my ramblings on here

interesting read here which confirms what you said about retiring, but also gives scope for a view that a less expensive project might still get his interest

I'm glad I remembered it more or less correctly but you're right, he doesn't rule out being involved in a smaller way and perhaps he could see a reason to invest as part ofa consortium in Inner Circle or elsewhere.

However I can't help wondering if his ego would let him take a 'back seat' as it were. I don't mean that in a negative way at all, in fact I've always rather admired him but I don't think he'd be comfortable with being a 'silent partner' when he's successfully owned three clubs and brought them all from the brink of oblivion to a profit making enterprise. If he was involved I'd expect him to be on the board at least and more likely be the chairman while Ken Anderson would be CEO or something.
