And yet people on here have suggested that being a Leicester fan could hurt your chances of the role.  Imagine Leicester appointing a UFS member the role.  That's what Aberdeen have effectively done, and you wonder why Scottish atmosphere has been transformed and we have mangers moaning about the lack of it.

The role isn’t just about atmosphere unfortunately. That will come over time as they understand the club, the DNA of the fans and start to meet with supporter groups to understand what fans want exactly. That then has to fit the club strategy and commercial goals. You’ll then have lengthy transitional periods as they (you would hope) put fans in the right places in the ground, get the singing sections together, get the oldies together, make a better family experience etc. It’ll take a while.

 

The role is 100% commercial. Expect your emails to be more targeted so you open them and then they can become a revenue stream, Spotify Wraps round ups with your mileage from your home to games and away games to see how far you’ve travelled over a season, how many goals you’ve seen, how many pies you’ve eaten (creates fun social content and it’s helping you feel valued and part of the club, we did this at Brentford), where there is data there’s content and therefore profit! They’ll be plans to get you in the ground early and to keep you there after, like Brighton (that’ll be the focus with the new stand). It’s all positive stuff really….eventually

They'd be able to pay for this persons wages twice over if they'd just fill the empty seats with fans wanting to pay for those empty seats...

Fan engagement is one of the issues, but will require buying from ticketing etc to actually see more active fans.

A great shame Bernie isn’t still knocking about, the role sounded perfect for him

Give it to Vardy.

Hi everyone

 

First time poster…

 

I was googling this role to see if it had been filled as I applied. 
 

I am a LCFC fan and have been all my life - I’m also head of engagement for a global blue chip company so thought I tick both boxes.  
 

Alas never heard anything back. I emailed to see if the application had come through ok and got a reply saying it had. 
 

bit of a disappointing process. In most businesses I’ve worked for we at least send an email with a ‘thank you for applying etc’ but nothing here.

Newsflash: corporate KPFC are a bunch of cvnts with zero idea of how to combine improving revenues with encouraging traditional support.
 

They don’t value ability and experience, they value shiny faced twats with InstaTok profiles.
