Former Chief Exec. David Baldwin ....

Post by Clarets4me » Sun Jul 05, 2020 4:51 pm

I understand our former Chief Executive took up his new position as the EFL's Chef Exec. on the 17th June ... he was looking forward to this " exciting opportunity " ...

With curtailment, a short pre-season, Wigan's administration mystery, the EFL appealing against the lenient penalty imposed on Macclesfield, as well as everything else going on, it won't be dull ! Good luck, Sir ! ;)

The Wigan fiasco is a real bad 'un.
Easy to imagine a few in the EFL hierarchy looking around for some handwash.

There was a thread the other day on this - I think Dave has walked into a major mess, even bigger than he could have ever imagined. A big loss to our club who has an incredible job on his hands now.

He has, but one thing on his side is that he’s bound to be a thousand times better than the previous incumbent.

I think I would have been a thousand times better than that buffoon.

Looks like they already used the handwash at the last takeover ;)

Wait for the whitewash which seems to always be handy

He was tired of flying around the world signing all our overseas bargains, so now he's become our new undercover, Championship chief scout ;)

He’s a big loss to us. I think that his diplomacy skills would have diffused the current impasse between Chairman and Manager.
