Interesting board appointment by MV

Interesting board appointment by MV

This is interesting appointing a person with this much football knowledge and business ability can only be good for the league over all. �http://www.smh.com.au/news/sport/football/a-league/rukavytsya-glory-bound-abroad-as-dutch-swoop/2009/01/25/1232818248734.html � towards the end of the article.


�� Meanwhile, Ian McLeod, former chief executive of Scottish powerhouses Celtic, has joined the board of Melbourne Victory.

McLeod, 50, now managing director of retail giant Coles, was a controversial chief executive at Celtic from 2001 to 2003, pushing for the Glasgow club to join the English Premier League.

McLeod was also a director at English Premier League club Fulham under chairman and Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed.

�He brings strong business acumen to Melbourne Victory and considerable understanding of football,� Victory chairman Geoff Lord said in a statement.

�His experience as CEO of Celtic Football Club during a period where they won five trophies and as a director of Fulham Football Club in the English Premier League will be invaluable for us.�

McLeod added: �I have been impressed by how much Geoff Lord and his fellow directors have achieved with Melbourne Victory in only three years, and I�m pleased to help with the club�s future plans.�

Ehmm

"a person with this much football knowledge and business ability"

and

'was a controversial chief executive at Celtic from 2001 to 2003, pushing for the Glasgow club to join the English Premier League'


Seems to be a contradictory statement

Seems like a div that lives in cloud cuckoo land.

Just a regular Scotsman then?

Well Granville, I think you're taking pi-pi-p-p-p-p-p-pi micky!

Would that mean B0b0 will be at the Victory next year?

We might be able to get rid of SB if that's that case.
