I think we can disregard any Cityfan getting the job..It would rather be held against him.

It´s a job for a guy with a razorblade mind able to make unpopular decisions at times.

Kind of like the idea of David green as CEO his background in media could be great in helping us push to be a global brand. The fact he a city fan just makes him an even better candidate in my book its not just the fact he a city fan its the fact he a football fan should hopefully understand the Passion of the fans and everything that goes with a football club.

Interesting that we haven't heard a solid rumour about who will be the next CEO. City certainly don't feel a need to rush the decision.

Perhaps the acting CEO will get the job if he's doing well.

Agree with the posts above - definitely something odd about Anderton quitting Al Jazira. It's a remarkable coincidence if he's leaving for purely personal reasons for the two other senior executives just to happen to be moving on, too. And, as mentioned, there's no need for someone to resign if they're going to be parachuted into a new role at another business with the same owners, so we can rule out the prospect of him pitching up at Eastlands.

Meanwhile, the MEN had the following story at the weekend, making it one of the places David Green's name has popped up:

Will Manchester City go Green in hunt for chief executive?

Mike Whalley, October 28, 2011

Manchester City are drawing up a shortlist of candidates for their vacant chief executive post.

The Blues have trawled the planet for a high-powered leader who can take the reins as they begin the £100m-plus development of new training, academy and community facilities.

MEN Sport understands that former Arsenal supremo and ex-FA vice-chairman David Dein was high on the list of possibles – but has ruled himself out.

Other high-profile names linked with the job, such as ex-United and Chelsea supremo Peter Kenyon and former Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn, are also not in the running.

One man whose name has been linked with the job is media executive David Green, a Bury Grammar School old boy and lifelong City fan.

Green is the chief executive of DCD Media as well as being an award-winning film director, and has told friends that he would be interested in the job if City made an approach.

He is well-known and respected in City circles, and as a film director was responsible for the Oscar-nominated Buster, as well as several leading TV productions.

One source close to Green told M.E.N. Sport: “David is chief executive of a plc and so is unable to declare his interest in the job as he has a responsibility to shareholders but he would definitely throw his hat into the ring if City made an approach.

“He would be perfect. He is an experienced international business executive, based in New York and London but he is also passionate about City and City fans.”

Green was born in London but moved to the Manchester area as a child and later ran Oxford University’s City supporters’ club.

David Green is a life long friend of Colin Schindler and featured heavily in his book Manchester United Ruined My Life. He was portrayed as very crafty and conniving. Just the sort of man to replace Garry Cook then ;)
