Gloucester Saint Posted Sunday at 21:33 Share Posted Sunday at 21:33 Whilst the main spotlight will be on Martin’s imminent sacking, there are bigger issues at hand. Rasmus cannot continue to have association or voting power even over SFC at the SR table. A bit like when someone has had a severe gastro bug and puked/shat everywhere, chuck some of the worst performing functions out within the club and spend the rest of the season rebuilding off the field. Scouting needs 100% overhaul, new CEO, marketing, Director of Football, total new management and coaching team. Academy is being neglected, need a higher profile and stronger figure leading that who can drown Rasmus out if Dragan really won’t stop him terrorising our club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, and if they won’t sell, then the only compromise can be total new leadership at the club and full independence from SR board with an experienced leadership team with 20-25 years good experience in the industry’s top European divisions. Rasmus will mean there isn’t an SFC in 5 years time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted Monday at 11:25 Share Posted Monday at 11:25 The lack of football knowledge or business acumen from people on top positions is laughable. I have no issue in what SR want to do long term. But in know way will you be able to build it properly or finance it if things are shit in the short term. There is such a lack of awareness from those at the club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldandtired Posted Monday at 11:36 Share Posted Monday at 11:36 Given their past performances I feel sure they will soon be talking to the third team manager of Cheltenham Town about our vacant manager’s job. Given the ineptitude they have shown in running SFC it’s hard to believe they have succeeded in any business ventures. Obviously they have but how..(cue Jaws music😎) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone shed light on whether my understanding is correct? It depends on the company's bylaws or articles of association but it's likely that, as majority shareholder, Dragan can remove any executive from the company. Typically you can remove a CEO by a simple majority vote and Dragan would have to be insane to have it any other way. Having the title of co-founder doesn't make offer any protection from this. Given the speed at which Martin was removed assuming that Dragan finally lost patience from a position of security a couple of weeks ago it's safe to assume he can assert himself. The trouble is Rasmus and Henrik were the football brains he trusted to build his empire and it's plenty easy to replace them with other chancers.
