[Archived] Financial Director

[pick32]

Venkys make sensible appointment!

[patrickvalery]

Who is it?

[pick32]

They have brought in Mike Cheston a local man who has had 15years previous experience at Everton, looks a very good appointment for the board.

[patrickvalery]

Cheers pick. Sounds like he has the credentials.

[Blue Cabbage]

Well I never, didn't think this would actually happen. I presume they stumbled into this appointment rather than making a sensible decision ??!!

Rumour as it he is on a YTS and shelfie is going to train him up (minus the fax machine obviously)

[T.J.Newton]

He was at Everton throughout the 90s when they where absolutely penniless yet they still managed to stay in the prem, seems a good, sensible recruitment on paper

[Ryan]

Might seem a fairly obvious question but what exactly will his role involve?

15 years at Everton certainly sounds encouraging

[CapeTownRover]

Good stuff... wonder if this gives us an indication, that Venkys will be here next season. interesting appointment though, sensible but interesting

[Mercer]

As I flagged on the Silk thread earlier this week.

Certainly seems to have the experience needed.

Don't be surprised if there is a further senior appointment soon.

[Bucksrover]

Good news! Well done to those who sorted this out

[Roverall]

This makes the prospect of impending administration look highly unlikely. The riddle of Venky's goes on.

He seems to have good credentials.

[OJRovers]

4 year previous "financial consultancy", i'm never too convinced.

But...at least we've appointed someone who has some relevant experience.

[rovers11]

What is going on with this club?!

We make some decent signings, haven't sacked a manager in months and now appoint an experienced boardroom member!!

As someone said earlier, a big indication that Venkys are not planning on jumping ship anytime soon.

[neophox]

Well, Venkys haven't done anything wrong this season what I can recall?

*The have sticked with Bowyer.

*They bought in some quality players in Conway, Evans, Gestede and bargain of the season Cairney.

*They have appointed a well known finance director.

*They have got rid of Jerome Anderssons KEAN signings and reduced the wages.

*They have been quiet in public.

so on and on...

The seasons Before they had a guy called Jerome Andersson who they laid all their trust to and things Went straight down. They got rid of Andersson and some board members and is now on road to some stability.

Getting rid of Andersson, Agnew and Shebby has been the mainfactors this season for the club. Then when bad eggs like Orr and Murphy left the spirit has moved up!

Also, remember that Venkys owners are VERY RICH. Don't Think they want the tail between the legs..

[CapeTownRover]

Venkys owners?

[thenodrog]

This makes the prospect of impending administration look highly unlikely.

Alternatively.... Maybe he has some experience in the process of Administration.

Other side of the coin and some might opine that they are making it 'saleable'.

No.1 on your list (in appointing Bowyer), instead of getting an experienced manager, may have been a bad decision. Time will tell.

That was exactly what I thought!!!!

[thenodrog]

World Cup year Stu. All the nouveau riche from the developing countries will be there no doubt and the likes of Jerome Anderson will be all over them like a rash.

[bob fleming]

I doubt Jerome's got the money to get over there let alone get a hotel. Maybe his lad can lend him a few quid?

[K-Hod]

As long as he can direct the finances, and has experience, fair play. Judging by recent accounts, he'll be a busy man!

[MCMC1875]

If he's that good, why has he left Everton?

[gumboots]

He hasn't come to us from Everton. He's not been in football for a while but now wants to be involved again. His leaving Everton wasn't because he was no good at the job. Read the article on the first page.
