With the organisation in its worst position since records began, is it wise to have a partially present CEO,who knows little about the industry responsible for the top to bottom operation of the club.?
TS needs to admit he requires help. I love his enthusiasm we are in the shit big time. It can't continue.

Not seen anything from the current senior management team to suggest we're laying foundations for success.
Awful/ non existent recruitment "strategy", most expensive tickets I can remember for 3rd division dross and a hugely inexperienced (football wise) CEO overseeing it all from thousands of miles away.
Get a Varney in or someone who knows their way round otherwise nothing will change and it'll just be a lot of money wasted.
No direction or strategy on or off the pitch it seems.
He has new directors who have had to get to know the club and what we are about. And then he has another person in a senior role.
A CEO will help him and take away some pressure.
It has to be someone who has done it before and knows what the role is about.
When things are as bleak as they are, good business people recognise and take the help. Those who are too stubborn will often fail. No one can afford for this to fail.
I've worked in places like that where the Owner is effectively 100% in charge, it very rarely works having someone else in charge under them.
I think even the most positive of posters might in retrospect think that the initial optimism of the last minute signings may have papered over the fact that it was last minute dealing rather than a well thought out and executed strategy.
Thing is from what I've read on here significant money has been spent so it was either spent too late (unavailable earlier on) or has been mispent. Of the new signings none of them seem like players who are both fit enough for 90 minutes in consecutive games and the players to take us forward and upwards over next few seasons.
Adkins is not good enough but it's been made clear his input on recruitment is limited and therefore it is the responsibility of those at the top.
I think it's a case of inexperience and limited capability from top to bottom at the moment.
Getting an experienced football CEO in to get us on the track for a couple of years whilst Sandgaard learns the game would probably be a useful move.
Roddy advised TS on the appointment of Adkins (like a CEO)
Roddy is in constant dialogue with TS after every game (like a CEO)
The scouting team report into him (like a CEO)
He oversaw the structure of the new recruitment process (like a CEO)
Adkins has to go but simply changing him and getting in a new CEO for me will not sort this mess.
If Roddy is such a great football person sack Adkins and put him in charge of the 1st team.
That's fine. But when your owner is halfway around the world and also running another large organisation at the same time would it not be a good idea to appoint someone with good experience of running a football organisation the authority to make those decisions quickly? Someone who is boots on the ground and has a constant live picture of what is going on from top to bottom.
