villalad21 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 If we can survive this 1st season i think Wolves, Leicester, West Ham and Everton needs to watch they're back. We will be a force to be reckoned with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 That's not the full vid. That's like 4 minutes of the section. He also talked about VAR later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skruff Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 He seems to be making quite a few media appearances compared our former CEOs. How often do you see other clubs CEOs doing appearances such as this on sky? Is it the norm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I like what he said but then I'm supposed to. Fox also talked a great game... Actions speak louder than words and he's done very well so far, so very happy with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exaggerate the numbers to the point where they appear even more impressive, but not so exaggerated that even if you get caught in the lie it causes a stink. Anyone looking it up afterwards will say he was slightly off and maybe he made a mistake but the general point remains, whereas most people won't bother at all.

Needs to do a bit more research Christian Mate he is a CEO, I shudder to think at the amount of responsibility and areas he has to cover in an just an hour of the day related to the football club. He gets a pass as his remit is not just limited to the "Footballing side" of the club. Overall he seems to know what the f*ck he is doing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
