KRO Hi Guys

from somebody involved in the corporate world losing the CEO Dunford does beg the question..why?.if he left as happens for good reasons so be it ..but as the man in charge from a governance perspective the principle liason with owners/board/club and the outside world it doesn`t bode well when he leaves without notice and a proper explanation.

Whenever a new owner comes in there are changes that are going to happen. Staff in/staff out. In an ideal world, the club goes out and gets the best candidates for the job but until that person actually starts working and builds a working relationship we do not know whether this will be a success. We took on Michael Dunford, he looked great on paper but in real terms things didn't click and he left. Perhaps Aitken isnt that happy with they Yeung etc are running the club, gets a better offer and thinks right I'm off. It may be the case he gets there and after a couple of months it isnt so good and ends up back in England. The same goes for any player we buy. On paper they look great but until they are here and in the team playing we will not know. This time last year Benitez was the new Rooney on paper and we all lick our lips in anticipation but 12 months on things didn't work out and he left. What we are looking at is what is known in the trade as "running a business". People come, people go, things will settle down and lets start analysing everything when we get to christmas and see where we are then. We don;t know what happens inside the club or how each person works. Anybody out there know the details of McLeish's contract, how Pannu works, what Yeungs long term plans are.......No. I am not worried. lets build on last years success. More players will come in, a new coach will arrive and it will be business as normal. We have done a lot more already than most other clubs. At least we can never say thet bening a Bluenose is boring!!! KRO I am not overly concerned by the movements of staff. Whenever a new owner comes in there are changes that are going to happen.
