Your gaffer is your boss just as a CEO is often referred to as a an exec chairman, you'll see him referred to as CEO more often though, the title his predecessor had.<br /><br />-- Fri Sep 09, 2011 11:59 pm --<br /><br />Corky said:Neil McNab said:That link contains:Corky said:<a class="postlink" href="http://www.mcfc.co.uk/news/club-news/2009/march/manchester-city-strengthens-executive-leadership-team" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.mcfc.co.uk/news/club-news/20 ... rship-team</a>
No he changed title half way through
“In line with the strategy that Mark Hughes and I presented to the Chairman in February, we have created a new position of Football Administration Officer, which will ensure that the coaching, medical and playing staff at Carrington and the Platt Lane Academy get world leading support at every level.”
HE PRESENTED TO THE CHAIRMAN - Call him chief exec or exec chair, he was never the club chairman!
Neil McNab said:No, you rememeber incorrectly, he became CEO in 2008 when he came to City under the Thai tax dodger.Krieng_Thai OSC said:He was Executive Chairman before Abu Dhabi take over, if I remember correctly
Exec Chairman like I said, and so did Thai. Not CEO in 2008 as you said.
How hard is it?
You'd might as well if you can't understand that Macintosh was CEO and Cook took over his job, both could be called exec chairmen also if you like, common practice.Corky said:Neil McNab said:Wrong, he's been refered to as CEO from day one, a CEO being refered to as an executive chairman is not unusual, there wasn't a moment when it has changed at all and it certainly doesn't validate the claim that he was our club chairman at any time.Krieng_Thai OSC said:Before Abu Dhabi take over, Dr. Thaksin was chairman and Cook was executive chairman.
After take over, Khadoon is Chairman, and Cook is CEO.
Give up.
Big difference between being Chairman and Executive Chairman/CEO, Chairman oversees the CEO.Corky said:Exec Chairman was his official title and implies he was taking on the chairman's responsibilities.
It was not like TS was around much.
They are two terms that mean the same thing, it means he presided over the executive board, his role never changed.Krieng_Thai OSC said:At the time Thaksin bought the club, he was looking for exec chairman since day one.
He want to be Chairman to involve in the meeting, but he cannot present all the time and need someone who can be his number two that why he look for an exec chairman.
The first candidate (cannot remember the name) refused to take the role.
Cook is second candidate having Kia as his agent.
After Abu Dhabi take over, Khadoon replace Thaksin and Abu Dhabi decide to have only one chairman so that Cook became CEO.
BTH said:Emailed him a few weeks ago about his Tory-style points-for-pounds scheme. Didn't respond. Maybe someone hacked that email too!?
He's free to support Birmingham against us now in a week or two, rather than pretending to be a Blue.
Easy come, easy go.
The two titles mean the same thing, his position/title didn't change chairman/ chief of the executive board FFSPrestwich_Blue said:Arguing about nothing as usual on here.
When Cook came he had the title Executive Chairman. He ran the club day to day and Mackintosh, for the brief period they were both here, reported to him.
At some point after that, he had the title CEO. He ran the club day-to-day.
