| One club, careful recent owners... |
This is all theoretical of course, but some of you may have noticed that today, we announced the appointment of a certain Mr Kevan Vincent Watts, 59, as a Non-Executive Director of our illustrious club.
You wouldn’t have to do a particularly vast amount of googling BUT 'ERE'S SOME WOT I DID EARLIER to discover that the guy has form in this particular area, overseeing the incorporation of Bank of America into Merrill Lynch’s operations, and spending the past year or so in India
So what is he here to do? The OS gives a nice summary of his CV, but baulks at stating what his day-to-day role will be in any sort of specific nature. In fact, they seem to be actively warning fans not to ask any more questions by saying:
‘’ There is no further information in connection with the appointment of Mr Watts to the Board of Directors which is required to be disclosed in accordance with Rule 17 and Schedule 2(g) of the AIM Rules for Companies.’’
Hmmmm. Have they said this in regards to any other previous appointments?
It could be argued that the more linear conclusion would be to say he’s being brought in to establish us in the Emerging Markets, but I would say that a full-time job of that size would be far more befitting to someone younger and would be a waste of a man of such experience. Given his background, and his Non-Exec’ role, the consultancy fee’s we’d be paying wouldn’t come near to the bit of extra revenue we’d generate from t-shirt sales and a couple of friendly matches.
My not so wild conclusion then, is that with the club on a secure financial footing, currently playing Champions League football, and every chance of that being the case again next season, Northumberland Development given the green light, Stratford still an option, we are primed for a takeover, and this could be the perfect time for Levy and Co to cash in. Unlike Newcastle, Liverpool etc, there is no way Levy would be silly enough to let any of this into the public domain, so hiring someone already holding a backstage pass and with direct lines to the people that could make this happen would be the smart way. The Levy way.
Watch this space…
You are the conspiracy theorists conspiracy theorist.

Isn't he something to do with a local company involved in property management? He's more likely involved in property matters involving the Northumberland Project thingy.
You need to get out more.
Did you know it wasn't al qaeda who attacked the twin towers? A group of militant bee's, angry at the growing numbers of mobile phone towers interfering with the navigation back to their hives, ate fireworks, blu-tacked themselves together and flew into the towers. Using a series of high pitched buzzing noises, amplified through a swans tambourine, they called in a coded message to the FBI and blamed it on Osama.
ReplyDeleteTrue story.
You're right though, I do need to get out more, but it still seems odd that the club would be so cagey on his job role, having always been forthcoming on all their 'club announcement' appointments. If he was bought in to help with the NDP, which is no secret, why wouldn't they just say that?
Oh, and Danny Levy shot Kennedy as well.
I have a conspiracy theory which says that ALL conspiracy theories are false.
ReplyDeleteThe question I now have it does that apply the my conspiracy theory?
That sounds like something an alien, hell bent on world domination might ask.
ReplyDeleteI've got my eye on you.
