If anything, my criticism of the last three CEO appointments is that they have not been football people, or even people with backgrounds in sports administration (Bill MacGowan was the last one we had with previous sports experience). Instead we seemed to have been obsessed with getting people with strong commercial backgrounds - a strategy that has probably had only mixed success at best.
At face value I'd be OK with Fred de Jong as CEO. Depends on who else applies of course, which we will never know unless they declare it themselves. Weirdly, I think Fred de Jong might be better qualified to be CEO than his current role, if that makes any sense.
