Just on SSN that club solicitor Margaret Burn is the new CEO and has received high praise from the Chairman himself. You cant keep SAFC off the front pages these days? Hope she is as good as SNQ suggests and has obviously passed the Ellis Short test too.
Sunderland land new chief exec Sunderland, 10:00, July 7, 2011 Sunderland have appointed legal director Margaret Byrne as the club's new chief executive following a restructuring of the board. The Black Cats revealed that the 31-year-old, who they describe as "a rising star in both legal circles and the football industry" will take over from Steve Walton, whose departure was announced on Wednesday night.Chairman Niall Quinn said: "Margaret has been a true driving force at the club since her appointment here more than four years ago and the fact that the club has gone from strength to strength on and off the pitch in that period is no coincidence."She has enormous passion for our football club and as its CEO, she will continue with the fantastic work that has gone before and will play a key role as the club continues to grow."In addition, Angela Lowes has joined the Board as finance director after 11 years in the club's finance department. http://www.clubcall.com/sunderland/sunderland-land-new-chief-exec-1236041.html
She has been at the club since January 2007 as legal director and club secretary and has been highly influential in player acquisitions. Currently she is on the EPL expert legal advisory board. She is 31 years old and as I said. I definitely would?
Pics?? ***EDIT, just had a deeks, young Irish lady...stand by for a 'Niall Quinn BOnks CEO' scandal in Sunday's NOTW!..
Club website picture I would. Twice even. http://www.safc.com/news/20110707/sunderland-confirm-ceo-appointment-_2256213_2387902
Pehaps SALUT was near the mark, a bit too pat for me, why wernt` both announcements made at the same time? outgoing are blah blah blah, incoming are blah blah blah, thats the normall way, my conspiracy theory is starting to look better as we speak, some behind the scene wrongdoings/arguements, hope not a swag boring errikkkkkson thing, we dont need scandle, cue the mag wummers.
I probably should have went beyond the first page of Google, now I would; but then im 16 so I probably would do owt haha
I'll pass, but by normal footballing management standards, she's a goddess. Must be a smart ****er though. You gotta have something special to become CEO of a Premier League football club by the age of 31 - especially if you're female.
