I’d assume it would be on the financial side, I hope it would be that but he should be no where near recruitment in fact our board really does need freshening up like Taylor says!
No he definitely did not say Owen was involved in player recruitment. His beef is that there is a lack of football expertise at director level. It is Vrentzos, Randall and the only other director is Jonny Owen. Therefore it is ultimately Vrentzos who has the final say in comings and goings and to be fair thats what a CEO should do before they sign off acquisitions for any company. I do agree there should be an experienced director of football at that level though and it would take a lot of heat off the owners in my opinion.
The caveat is that DT tweeted a few weeks back somewhat cryptically that Owen would actually like the CEO job. Thats up to EM, I cant see him taking that sort of gamble with his money.
