It's been nearly three diabolical years and I still know far too little about this 34 year old man acting as our Chief Executive. What's the plan Faulkner?

I don't know who you are, Randy's MIA, Lambert's made of steel, Concrete Ron isn't concrete after all, we can't catch a break. What's the approach when the plan is behind schedule?

i think this bloke is getting off extremly lightly. he is running the club, is the eyes and ears for randy, gives it the big,un at press conferences and always tells us how great a season we are going to have when he wants to sell season tickets. where is he? he should be taking some flack of the shoulders of paul lambert.

A bloody unqualified credit card salesman who is out of his depth, Olympic style out of his depth. Has not a fucking clue about us and who we are, never will. Get bloody rid of him and get somebody in who knows the game of football, ffs. UTV, always UTV.

I think people are scapegoating him. He doesn't make any major decision without running it by Lerner.

I don't know who he is, but every time I hear his name I am reminded of the Peter Principle.

Think he's a bean counter personally. Certainly not the normal type of CE you see at a club, more the type you get when the recievers appoint an administrator.  Bottom line is the finances, and it reflects in the woeful PR and their managerial choices. I've said before this reliance on youth thing is his idea and i've not changed my mind.

He appears, to me at least, to be about as useful as a pair of sunglasses to a bloke with one ear.

The only education we know of is he read history at university. I don't think he was an accountant at MBNA.

He got onto the FA council last Summer.

Ultimately, whatever his background, he's clearly incompetent at his current role of developing a football club. He's been Chief Executive and hand his hands firmly on the tiller since May 2010, during which we've gone from a team finishing 6th on 64 points to a team on a stark slide.

I saw the Chief Exec. of Heinz do one once.
