Dodgyknees Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 7 hours ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: That's what you Brits get for having so many similar generic names for the regular folk. All Brits should have cool and comedic names like the Brit Footballers do... David Batty, Danny Drinkwater, Will Fish, Dean Windass etc to clearly distinguish themselves. It's why I changed my name to Harry Potter. Didn't want something that would get confused for somebody else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Heck is the CEO (although he has a different job title) I believe we've an Executive Chairman in Nassef. So the role of CEO and Chairman is merged essentially.

briny_ear Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 7 hours ago, wishywashy said: In typical Birmingham Mail fashion, this isn't true: the Ben Hatton that ran Rippleffect and the Ben Hatton who worked for United & Blackpool are two different people, following a quick Google. Unless the guy who ran Rippleffect had a side gig as a football executive without putting it on his LinkedIn. And grew a totally different face. Never know. I’m confused now. We appear to have appointed a new COO when we already have one and there is a 50-50 chance we have appointed the wrong person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I am a bit surprised by the lack of comms on the badge situation and the new north stand. Whatever else you say about him Purslow always was excellent on communicating decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) To avoid confusing myself I'm just going to call him 'the sun has got his' Hatton. it's current, easy to remember and there's a ready made song.

As it's been weeks not days since Christian Purslow left (although he still lives rent-free in some minds!), the wait could actually be down to research, caution and diligence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
