He also told me last night that he would "take it in a second". His two lads are both at Hibs, one of them was in at Celtic, they were looking at him... and Rangers didnt even look at him - ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being your bum chum is not enough for me. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the EH is incomplete, is the £12M spend on EH the final cost, or is there more money required? And if so, how much more? How many concerts have been booked? We can't sustain a music venue with SP and Callum Beattie. What is the estimated annual turnover of EH? What plans are in place to ensure traffic / customers during the close-season? Hopefully Bisgrove will squeeze every last £1 out of EH but currently it is under utilised for something that was way over budget (final costs unknown?) and incomplete. I'm also disappointed that we had to sell half the Albion to help fund it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plans dont matter when hes offering me to be part of the team mate, you should know that ! He likes the playing style that Gerrard/Beale brought - one thing that I know he would bring would be higher expectation and higher expected standards - work rate and ethic. I can tell you that having seen a lot of his sessions over the years that the kids absolutely gravitate to him and his assistant - running the Academy is less sessions and more strategic - but in his words Mulholland just plays the political game. When he had the 15's and 16's they did quite well I believe 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All valid questions... but I would contend that we need to give them time given it is only just getting to completion. The estimated turnover is less a question to me than what is the expected profit - and I thought that it was expected to be about 1 mill a year, which isnt too bad in fairness as that should be an asset that lasts decades 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,350 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I've heard that we're planning to have a Chief Operating Officer (COO) as well, presumably reporting to the CEO and taking on many of Robertson's responsibilities. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a non-footballing appointment. I didn't hear anything about a DoF either way. It may just be a reallocation of the combined responsibilities previously held by Robertson and Bisgrove. In fact, it's difficult to see that Robertson was anything other than a COO anyway, given the lack of structural development at the club these last couple of years. The titles, frankly, mean very little. It would however be logical to appoint a Commercial Manager, with Bisgrove retaining principal oversight of commercial development. The thought has been raised that Bisgrove's elevation is merely a retention bribe to avoid losing the two of them at the same time.
