    Hmm. A guy who owns a football club, has dealt with 60 million in transfer fees and has been an owner of various successful companies with turnover in the millions. Now I understand everyone is entitled to an opinion. But I'd say the above would make him a bit more intelligent than pig shit. Quite a lot more intelligent. I guess our definition of intelligent is somewhat different.

    They put a current a board member in charge for two months I believe, whilst the process took place.

    Two months eh, it took Rhodes 18 months to find our CEO and in the end he just employed the twitter guy who was on secondment as his deputy

    Wow! Just imagine the kudos we'd receive and how our football standing would soar even if DMac just thought about considering Ryan as Posh's next CEO. And if he got the job, we'd have agents knocking down our backdoor to sign their star of the day for peanuts.

    It would be at least on a par with how Angol's standing has soared since he was injured!

    Compared to our model of (an ex) Head of Recruitment who only knows the way to Scunthorpe, a youth team coach who is younger than our striker as assistant manager, an owner who was last seen when Abba were touring and a CEO whose best attribute is managing a twitter account, it's absolute genius.

    He just calls a spade a spade. I like him. He said he’d get us promoted if he was here.

    His record in the transfer market is great.

    DMAC isn't stupid. He might like Sparks, but there is no way he will want him ruining his (well run) club.

    If someone like Rodwell is a temporary appointment you can bet the permanent CEO won't be a rookie appointment lol MacAnthony is doing that very unBradford thing of actually conducting a professional search and not just appointing the tea boy or his mates from an amateur rugby team

    He must be one lucky guy because if his intellect levels are so low and teenagey, he's totally chanced a consistently successful lower league club through a number of promotions, very un shabby league positions and a buying and selling policy that is the envy of most clubs from the Championship down. Wish our last three or four owners had been so thick? I'd feel proper posh.

    Imagine Sparks does go and Rupp immediately brings back Rhodes which he probably would as he won’t know anyone else. Then just before season tickets go on sale Rhodes gets rid of Adams and of course turns to McCall for his fifth or maybe sixth go. I’m getting depressed already. Only joking of course, this could never happen.

    Why? They aren’t run like us, hire someone because you get on. Think he’ll want someone with a bit of experience behind them.

    Would be a step up if he did. Championship football and a new stadium down the line.

    No chance. He will want a real ceo not a twitter ceo. He can do that bit himself
