    i'd say a background as an agent is probably the perfect grounding to become a football chairman - the business revolves around the main assets and buying and selling them - the players. 
    Hmmm not so sure, a layman who thinks they know more than the people they employ to run the football side is a very dangerous thing. 
    could be, we will have to see -  but a working knowledge of the business should be a huge asset 
    And how did the previous ex agent the club employed to over see transfers work out? 
    what would you say is the perfect background for a football chairman??

    Two entirely different positions. I wouldn’t trust an ex football agent to do anything. Especially one no one has ever heard of ! 
    what background should a football chairman have??

    I think a lot have you have forgotten that there is just one person in the EFL structure that deals with takeovers & the "fit & proper" test. It is the xmas & New Year period & could easily have been off work since last week.

    To keep up with the house buying analogy, my local Estate Agent with whom I've been dealing with recently has been shut since the 22nd Dec & not open again until Thursday (2nd). And that is a branch with about 10 staff. Dont expect anything from the EFL until at least Thursday.....and probably not until next week. 

    Just chill people. It will happen. Just not yet.

    People are just pent up waiting to pop the champagne corks 🍾 it will happen people keep the faith. These are the owners we need, they will invest and the club will prosper in the new year.

    Happy new year one and all, a start of big things for our fantastic club. 

    😁❤️👍

    If he thinks he’ll get any fishing done there then he must be in denial. 
    Well fishing in France would be insane...
    Why?

    I don't know, there examples of good and bad ones from all walks of life.  Some very successful people have been aweful at running football clubs.

    I would suggest the skill set you need is more based around engagement and empowerment of your managment team than being an expert on right backs, retail outlets or writing program notes.

    Sunderland up for sale...................no reason to put this, but I am sure there will be some who can start an argument between them and us  :)
  • Can we please ditch the house buying analogies for 2020.

    Out with the old, in with the new, I think we should turn them into office analogies, ie no receptionist etc.....

    I’ve spent zero time in the corporate world in my career and know little about the bottom line. The vast majority of financial explanations and company legalese posted by those here goes so far over my head that I don’t even feel the draught. 

    From this position of absolute hopeless understanding I come to the conclusion that providing a football clubs chairman has the right people around him to do the financial stuff and general management of the club it is beneficial if that chairman has a grounding in the football world. Agents have a relatively bad press but they know the way around clubs and how things work. They will know other agents and have contacts at most clubs. I would expect they know what players are on the up and those that are causing problems. Cutting a good deal is their stock in trade. Networking is the order of the day. Those qualities are I believe useful for a football Chairman. Like everything else in life when judging people it’s about character. As long as our Chairman is of good character the skills set he has will do fine for me. What I’ve managed to see of MS so far is top draw. Time will tell but I look forward to the next part of Charltons journey and wish ESI nothing but good wishes.

    Yeah, that will definitely speed things up. Doh.
