    That really couldn't care less about who the chief exec is?
    I've as much interest in that as to who the tea lady is.

    Depends what effect they have on things like communication with fans or signing up players, to mention just a couple of things. If it makes no difference then presumably you'd be glad to have Don Rowing back?

    May be just you and a small minority.
    How would you feel about Peter Risdale coming back as CEO?

    I think Ben did a decent job - better than Risdale and Rowing.

    I have more interest in the players we sign and the Manager, but the CEO does have some influence in those though, as well as catering contracts box office operation etc
    I have no interest in the tea lady or cleaners

    I find it all a bit bizarre, I've read people say he's done a good job & others say he's done a bad job when in reality none of us really know.

    All we hear from him is his occasional interviews where he doesn't actually tell us anything

    I think if he'd gone to a Premiership club people would possibly understand the career move but he's done the football equivalent of running away with the Fair to work on the Dodgems

    He was universally derided when we were losing and universally praised when we were winning. So who knows if he's any good or not.

    I do think Ben appears to have done a decent job recently, but I am rather perplexed by the outpouring of grief on the forum by some! Don't think it will make much difference to getting our targets or how we perform next year.

    he wasnt universally derided. some of us are sane and can hold our tongue when things arent going well.

    Same here, so maybe universally was too strong a term. Let's say the majority of people wanted him out.
