Dusic Posted 5 May, 2017 Share Posted 5 May, 2017 Seems an odd time for a CEO to leave but he did a solid job steadying the ship. Best visible attribute is that he didn't say much publically but focused on good governance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint 76er Posted 5 May, 2017 Share Posted 5 May, 2017 Adam Blackmore @AdamBlackmore Decision is not linked to any potential takeover, with club 'restructuring' leadership. Why on earth are they"restructuring leadership" immediately before a universally expected takeover? Surely the expected new owners would want to make these kind of decisions themselves? Unless they are already pulling the strings it seems a strange time for the club to be making executive moves. Presuming, of course, that GR didn't actually resign of his own volition.

Disco Stu Posted 5 May, 2017 Share Posted 5 May, 2017 Change is coming. Huge overhaul I expect. Although I believe Puel will stay. Hopefully we get this takeover (whomever that may be) done soon because the last thing we need is an owner reluctant to put any more money in and possibly more likely to sell our assets.
