He's the fella tasked with setting up the mechanisms by which vast amounts of cash are to be extracted from the club most probably.
Even more than our 'saviours' were trousering on the sly
Aye, watch out for any 'consultancy fee(s)' in any upcoming accounts! Cost for having a newly commissioned SCFC fluffy stuffed teddy bear?...............That'll be £20,000,000 (what's that in Dollars?)).......ting.....ting......ting!

Or will Steve and Jason be apologising again.
Probably.
As they were writing the apology for not including HC in the Guidolin/Bradley discussion they were holding a meeting about season ticket prices and not including him in that either.
Then they sent the apology to HC's company for printing.
You really couldn't make it up.
I expect to see another apology in the Man U programme along the lines of:-
We unreservedly apologise to the Trust director and the supporters for not including him in any of the really important decisions we will be taking for the foreseeable future. Once the foreseeable future is over lessons will be learned and another apology will be provided for another foreseeable future. We really are very sorry.

Brillant take, analysis and superbly written! It really sums up recent insanity of events! To say we are watching crazy events unfolding is an understatement.

Commercial side then ?
Lets hope he can do better than this barely literate nonsense....
I got word from a trusted source who says he has it on good authority that HJ is indeed stepping aside.
If this guy is his replacement, I don't know what to say. On the surface, this looks like an awful move. This is a sports marketing guy that knows nothing about European football, or even the sport of football in general.

To be fair, the awful move was done months ago, and can never be undone. Anything and everything from here, is down to what the “Swans supporting” board did to the club.

Question is are we sure he's going to actually maintain the HJ role? Chief Operating Officer can mean so many different things.
It's not something that logically makes sense. Makes me think he's going to be over the day to day operations of the actual club, but not in charge of player contracts and transfers.

1) Pearlman is in. I was hoping it means he is taking over Dineen's role, because in no way, shape or form is he qualified to make football decisions. 2) Jenkins, it sounds, is OUT. 3) Due to the coincidental timing of 1 & 2, I cant help but be worried this freaking guy has somehow been trusted to run our fb operations. Surely Levien and Kaplan HAVE to be smarter than this...but you and I live in a nation that is about to elect HRC or Trump as our President. So it's getting hard for me to keep any faith that logic counts for shit, anymore.

For me... COO is the second in command of a coperation, they oversee the buisness as the CEO's mouth/ears. Honestly this could describe a chairperson. But I don't know if it translates over to a director of football kind of role.
For me they'd have be completely insane, to put a former baseball player, and marketing exec into the front seat of handling transfers and personel for a sport they know very little about, in a continent they have never dealt with before (this organization for the record, only lists US sport in the CV).
I would assume that this Pearlman guy, is coming in as a proper COO as the puppet on strings for the American owners. And that either:
a) Jenkins stays on only in a director of football role (which is the opposite of what the supporters are complaining about)
b) That before january we will be hiring on a new person to be the director of Football.
I could be wrong, but oh my goodness, it will be quite obvious that these new majority shareholders are trying to take command of a ship without knowing starboard from port side.
To me it looks like a sensible decision. The new guy to run the commercial side of things, which he is very well qualified to do, leaving Jenkins (or a replacement) to look after the footballing affairs. It's logical.

I'm not really getting the negativity on the board regarding this. It is imperative Jenkins and Dineen need replacing, this is step one, I would be more worried if the Americans couldn't see that.
However, if the trust hasn't been informed then there needs to be questions asked yet again. Can you comment on this at this moment Phil? Ux?

It seems the most likely scenario. Pearlman in to increase revenue on the commercial side. Although the Merrycans could have appointed a hard boiled egg and made a marked improvement to the CD position of Leigh Dimwit.
The front Septics (and their suspected money men) are successful businessmen. I seriously do believe they know they've been mugged off by our EX board and are now trying to unravel the shambles, to indeed find a way forward. This may explain their present position with the Trust- they think there was collusion and our sneaky, snidey b'stards are trying to help the Trust by ensuring that the World knows the Trust are totally blameless (kept like Mushrooms!) Either that, or they believed the hype that the PL is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow Either way, their fault for not carrying out due diligence themselves. Although I'm struggling to understand how any company would spend close on £100 million buying a business without making the proper checks
If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious.

True, but there was a chance things could have been salvaged if we retain some people who know us and what the PL is about. I've said it before, once Huw goes and is replaced by an outsider with no knowledge of either us or the PL, we're stuffed. It's definitely better the devil you know in this case (assuming that devil is bothered any more).

Yes, but the problem is that it's not up to Huw, he (and the others) sold control.
