Co chairmen is a face saver it never works in practice, the majority shareholder will call the shots. All I could ask for now is for Steve Stride to be re-employed now that would set the tone of how the club would be run in future.

More than ever we need a highly competent chief executive to run this club. I'd like to see us target Nicola Cortese and pay him what he wants.

I'd like to see us target Nicola Cortese and pay him what he wants.In an interview with The Times in March 2010, Cortese discussed his approach to running a football club.Clubs spend money they do not have; they spend next year’s income. They spend money that will not arrive for two years and say, "But we'll have some success and bring in more cash to cover the shortfall". It cannot be sustained. In good times you need to be saving money for the bad times. If we reach the Premier League, I would like to be in a position where we did not need parachute payments. In good years you should put money away for the bad years.[2]
We're still running, that's the main thing here. FFP still fucks us up a bit and limits what we can do so let's not get carried away.One thing about investors is always that they'll pull the plug if they don't see a return coming. So let's hope they make their investment work.
