Susan Whelan steps down as CEO

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Farewell to our English rose 

[LinekersLugs]

She deserves a medal for putting up with Top and Rudkin this long 

[lcfclcfc1]

For those wanting Rudkin to follow... It won't happen. Better to rid of Rudkin than whelan wrong person has gone

Out of Rudkin, Susan and Top, id probably hold her least accountable of the three of them. Its a start, but we would all be much happier if it was the other two.

They have very different roles and all 3 are failing miserably. The timing is alarming though, seems like a knee jerk reaction to something… I wonder what news is about to break 

[Legend_in_blue]

Back to front with removals here. 

 

Unfortunate.

oh great that should work well....ffs what a shambles the leadership of this club is

[Walshy5]

2 words. Good riddance.

[Supergray22]

It wonder what is coming next or if we find out why. We will probably get the normal tumbleweeds though. The wrong one has gone IMO.

It was always going to one of her or rudders, probably came down to the latter giving better blowies…

No where near.

As CEO, wasnt she the person signing off transfer/sponsorship deals, if she was, then needed to go!

Rudkin, next🙏🏽

I would rather she stay than Rudkin....surely this makes his position stronger

[l444ry]

At least she turned up for every game, home or away. More than can be said for Top and any of his family.

[Tielemans63]

This pretty-much guarantees several more years of Rudkin haphazard-ry. Yay

[Gazza M]

Stepped down or ushered away. 

 

Regardless, who will hold Rudkins hand on negotiating big deals? 

[Saxondale]

This is a blow. She has been CEO for our most successful period ever. She was known amongst football execs as being extremely switched on and a shrewd negotiator.

Is Top not planning to stay in the role himself, taking a more day to day role in the club

 

I’m sure I read that he has effectively been pushed aside by King Power for running the duty free business into the ground

[FOXYTALK]

Good, Rudkin and Top next. Sell the club and start afresh. Let's end this nightmare.

And yet he'll probably try and do it from Thailand. The club already grinds to a halt when decisions need to be made as he has to sign off on everything from what I gather. Will be even worse now as he'll have to do plenty of the strategical leg work and have the clarity to ensure it is finalised.

 

I'd take another relegation this season if it finally saw him selling up and leaving and taking that PE teacher with him.

[MattFox]

Top isn’t CEO

 

It’s Rudkin and has been for a few years now

 

The propaganda machine is covering for him 

[Craig]

Do some people actually understand what a CEO is?

Goodbye sweet prince. The gargoyle still remains seated

How many CEOs do you know that have managed to keep their jobs with the kind of losses we have have made year after year?

But the losses are due to awful recruitment of playing staff and management. Was that her role? Genuine question
