    Quite right Broncs, that would be down to the much maligned (by some) Ryan Sparks then.

    He's not maligned by anyone on this forum anymore as best I can tell.

    He's being realistically appraised, IMO. He's improved a lot of things, but hasn't been consistent on the footballing front - yet. Hopefully his future managerial appointments are tight, well-thought out moves.

    He could really do with shaking this victim complex that seems to surround him, though, no?

    It's an ugly look for someone who's actually doing all right at this moment in time.

    Let's face it Ryan is the best Chief Exec the club has had for around 20 years

    Baldwin's probably the best of the bunch, James Mason is somewhat similar to Sparks, Rhodes... well, he was more than a CEO to be fair, but probably the least popular of the bunch.

    Quick work on the list, Storck.

    Only Rhodes had the authority to hire and fire managers and players

    not sure if Lawn ever had the title but it is different if you are the owner too, otherwise we could include Edin Rahic too

    We could include Edin just so we know what we're dealing with in terms of being the worst of the worst

    I don't really remember much about his work at City, to be honest.

    Was he any good?

    He seems to have done well for himself since City.

    He was originally a Post Office man as I recall, part time Secretary at Farsley C. Then Richmond to a shine when Scarborough played pre season so he went there then to VP with GR then Leeds with GR then EFL as CEO now with Wrexham as Consultant

    wasn’t he more than 20 years ago? Definitely feels like a lifetime ago

    Just looked and he left early 2004.

    is Managing Director different to Chief Executive Officer?

    Deluded puppet who dreamt up under 21 clubs in a lower league Cup competition and would like nothing better than B teams playing in the championship. You can stick him where the sun will never shine.

    Baldwin was ok but was obsessed with cost cutting which is why Lawn and Rhodes appointed him to keep the cost of running the club as cheap as possible. But. He was and is a good administrator and of course did most of it with no remuneration from the club

    Burnley's success is built on being frugal.

    You can't say it doesn't work.
