    Well there's the rub nightmare. All these 'changes' that people have been baying for - every single one of them costs money. The Club are moving forward, at the fans' request. That movement will only work, if the fans move forward as well

    Comes across very focused and ambitious for the club but at the same time speaks very sensibly.Impressive opening interview.

    I thought he left ages ago. We're gonna need a bigger boardroom.

    A couple of excellent appointments, especially Watkins. The massive amount of experience and respect he will bring will be a huge advantage to us. When he goes asking for things, people sit up and take notice which means you've already got some of the job done in trying to get people involved with the club. I dont think the club could have appointed anyone better. Top draw stuff.

    He sounds a bit young, I hope he doesn't just treat this as some toy he can play around with...I'm always weary of new people.

    Sounds like he really wants to improve the 'Matchday Experience' that a lot on here seem to be resisting, yes it is all about the football but for me the young 'ens/new fans need to feel like they've got their moneys worth when their hearts and minds are completely into the club. For me, going to Oakwell is a bit like visiting an old relative in an old folks home at the minute.

    He is young and a CEO is a "big title"......but remember he has Maurice Watkins and Patrick Cryne above him, calling the shots when required.

    I like his first interview, he speaks very well.....lets hope he delivers.

    I once got hit in the atricles by a cricket ball. Was like having triplets without an epidural, whilst having 3 teeth out without anesthetic by a blind dentist who kept drilling into my eyeballs by mistake, and all the time while trying to show 17 teenage girls around Meadowhall without losing any of them.

    Like the sound of him. Makes a change from hearing a 70 year old drone on about something he's out of touch with.

    Ageist.
