Tom Fox announced as new Villa CEO
« on: August 20, 2014, 02:32:09 AM »
RANDY LERNER has done a deal to take Arsenal high flyer Tom Fox from the Emirates and make him Aston Villa's new chief executive.
Lerner flew in from the USA this week and has headed the talks to persuade Fox , Arsenal's chief commercial officer, to leave the Gunners.

I really hope he is noble, clever and indeed, the Fantastic Mr Fox.

Sounds good. My only worry is that commercially he obviously has the track record, but how much knowledge of football would he really have to make those decisions that would be necessary?

If it is more of a commercial appointment it would reflect the theory that Randy sees the manager and the CEO as being on the same level, but one deals with the footballing side and one deals with the commercial side.

Which is fine in principle, as long as there is someone competent in football matters above the manager.

Great appointment. I used to love listening to him doing the Sunday Chart Show as a kid.

Who are the big name signings that they make reference to? Have I missed something?

Success breeds success. Tom Fox appears to be the right man for the job. Either Randy's decided to stay and give it another go or he has found a buyer who suggested Mr Fox would be a major signing of the highest order and part of the deal.

Things may be on the move at long last.

Let's hope so and presumbly by a very wealthy American.

Hard to imagine this guy leaving Arsenal without some assurances about the future at B6.

I'd suspect managers are more easily disposable by new owners than a good CEO.

We've been crying out for a Fox in the executive box.
