I actually know a fair few people who work / worked for Dyson and its apparently a terrible place to work in terms of business culture. In terms of a business though, they are pretty innovative and very functional. Perhaps exactly what we need - a bit of an arsehole running us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 27 June, 2023 Share Posted 27 June, 2023 (edited) Obviously he'll want to start with a clean sweep but I wouldn't be rolling out the red carpet for him just yet. A man with no baggage at least. Seriously, it's good that he has had so much experience of running a football club .

Dyson, the man is a detestable individual, a fervent backer of Brexit after which he moved his business abroad and buggered off to Monaco to live.

benjii Posted 28 June, 2023 Share Posted 28 June, 2023 Seems like a massive upgrade on Semmens, at least on paper.

david in sweden Posted 4 July, 2023 Share Posted 4 July, 2023 New CEO?.....most important questions. 1. Does he like football ...and does he understand the offside rule, before Wenger changes it. ? 2. Did he have a favourite football club when young? 3. If he has a RR to run, we shouldn't be paying him too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
