This. Might have been okay at certain parts of his job but these two were major **** ups and mean I can't think of him as anything other than yet another complete failure. Good riddance. I'm sure we'll be bringing in someone better
He was basically brought in to help Donald get as much money out of the club as possible. I suppose he's managed that but he never gave a **** about the fans and treat us like ****e
I've no idea but was told a while back that he wants a 'henchman' although that's the translation from French. I think it just means a right hand man. I was expecting it to have been arranged before the announcement though tbh.
Honestly, months and months of saying this, the very same people are now claiming glory. Unbelievable.
I think there's been a suggestion in the past that KLD would want a football man to head up the Board under him. Various ex players have been mentioned,whether any of them would have the managerial skills,I'm not sure.
Him and Jackie supposedly fell out years ago because Jackie thought Bobby had forgotten where he'd came from. Jack was always proud to come from up here, never forgot where he came from and was pretty down to earth. I remember him in Ashbrook Club a few years back when his son was running it and he had plenty of time and a joke for everyone. People said then that you'd never get Bobby doing that.
I’m assuming he’ll be replaced, any names yet ? Also, most of Donald’s appointments will likely be replaced. What about all the clerical errors ? I’m sure we took someone from Eastleigh who organises all the admin.
I remember @Magnus posting his initial 'breaking news' and saying his source would be out as soon as the takeover was done.
Got to say I didn’t see this coming so soon. I know he cocked up the season cards but I believe he was working on instruction from above, and it was a difficult time. So I do feel for him somewhat. That said, I’m delighted he’s gone as it gives us the clean slate we all wanted and it’s absolutely for the best that KLD shows he’s in charge.
Anybody else think they just got rid of Rodwell today because they felt guilty for not announcing the takeover on a Friday?
In fairness Jim done brilliant in his part of the sale of the club. My understanding was that he was brought in solely to assist the sale, then once completed he has stepped down as expected. Thank you Jim and good luck.
The position of chairman is the figure head of the club, need a chief executive to look after the day to day running of it. That chief executive has to be KLD's appointment. Cannot imagine KLD will be turning in for work every day at the club as you would expect to him to have other business interests which will need his attention. As for Rodwell he should have been chased for his support for project big picture.
