New CEO at FC. Heard there had been interest in him from elsewhere, but looks like he's been promoted instead. Good move. Done well on the marketing side with little resource.
Looks like AP now focusing on off field matters as he alluded to in the HDM interview, which is a really positive move. Seems the club don't want to stand still or rest on their laurels.

Great reward for years of hard work; one of the best social media posts after Wembley was Clarkey tweeting the morning after about a room with a view with a picture of the Cup with black and white ribbons on his hotel bedroom sideboard. Wonder whether he'll still do pitchside announcer duties?
We've got another new director this year too, Peter McCabe, think something to do with community funding?
I listened to an excellent interview on Humberside on Thursday about his new position in the Club when Clarky said that he will be doing his final swansong on the pitch mic against Catalan before the new lads take over for the following home game. That's why we probably haven't had a formal announcement yet from the Club.
No one who works for a sports club is popular with all the fans that's the nature of the beast, but Clarky is a realist and gets the supporters point of view on things and the issues we have and anyone who publically blubs at the end of a Derby and for 15 minutes after that Wembley win and is on the staff of the club will do for me!!
I'm pleased that he has been given the chance to take over as Chief Executive. Its a big job and he'll be under the microscope but I know he's already be in there at the working groups at the RL particularly the one that was instrumental in securing the new commission deal on away ticket sales. I just hope he can keep up his compering at forums etc!

Are you sure it was on Radio Humberside if so somebody should tell trevlovesjanice
einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result
Was told about Clarky being the new CEO a couple of Sundays ago by the lad taking over from him as pitch announcer. He was in my local and he told me he's in the process of setting up a new local boxing club, might see him tonight so I'll ask him how things are going if so.

For as much as Clarkey is enthusiastic and his love for the club is there for all to see it'd be nice to hear the announcements.
I think that's more of an issue with the PA system. You can't hear anything where I sit in the east
