Different companiesÂ
more like the old one cleaned up .. there is a book out next week, 'Nazi Billionaires' .. or have a look here .. Category:Companies involved in the Holocaust - Wikipedia .. OK it's history but still bear in mind what went on in Germany and is now pretty much airbrushed over and forgotten .. anyway .. digression OVER
They are completely different companies, ones an American owner owned Sports Entertainment company launched in 1994 and ones a Germany electrics companies started in 1912.Â
His CV looks to be strong in partnerships but nothing I can see heading up an operations department? Would make more sense as Commercial Director than COO.

He also ran a venue for AEG for two years.
But I agree more Commercial and CEO type experience than COO
Also noted on Linkedin that he has connections to David White (former CAFC Director and CACT trustee), Peter Varney (former CAFC CEO and CACT trustee) and Steve Sutherland (won 15 to 1 on Channel 4)

I must have missed that but I did hear he was on the radio once.
The Icelandic 62 year old was rumoured to be our new COO on twitter by @churchyruns and by @RedRobin here on the Tony Keohane thread.
Jokat was CEO of the London Knights Ice Hockey side and worked for AEG for five years as well as being an ice hockey coach.
He's had various sports consultancy roles too and has been based in Europe for over 20 years.
He has a degree in Sports Administration.
Rumours say COO not CEO although that might, IMHO, be a title to allow TS to remain CEO while Joket is the on the ground, de facto CEO. My speculation only.
Nothing official so WIOTOS but @RedRobin said Joket has said it himself.
I actually know some of the big wheels from the London Knights.Â
One of them described Brian as a 'cheat code' in the British Ice Hockey Superleague.Â
Fingers crossed his talents translate to League One of the EFL.

Someone on here described Inniss as a league one cheat code a couple of weeks ago.

Surely the main criteria for such appointments is the multiple of English Football knowledge greater than an average sky viewer. Â I have heard the benchmark for our recruitment team is 10x, so assume we have set a reasonable bar at at least 12 x for c suite appointments? Without these sorts of in depth technical reviews and background checks for key Club appointments I am starting to doubt that the stated goal of walking into the Premier League in 4 years is realistic.
I am 99% certain this appointment will involve some kind of pre existing link to somebody at the club or TS himself.
I think I mentioned before, an industry friend of mine has a CV that includes CCO Aston Villa (plus acting CEO for a 6 month period), C Suite roles at the FA and also two F1 teams.
Basically a CV that shat all over this guys.
We submitted his CV to the club with any future roles in mind a few months ago and heard nothing back.Â
He could sort this place out with his eyes shut, so the fact he didnt even get an interview suggests:
1) A guy was already in place. 2) He was recognised as being vastly overqualified / too expensive.

Even if you had the right AEG you're digging out an electrical appliances firm for something they did when their country was run by Nazis. I doubt many organisations said no to Hitler and his masses. Just ask Hugo Boss.

Quick Google suggests your mate is vital to the health of a football club's entire body?Â

We'd have hoovered up the talent and we'd have long washed our hands of League One Football

Black suit - check
Scandi origins - check
North American accent - check
Wonder if he thinks like Sandgaard?
