Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

[Sexual Ealing]

I have got a sort of grudging respect for that cook for getting these cretins to pay those sort of prices for meat with airpit hair on it, and that he also gets them to eat gold.

And if I wanted a sweaty Turkish bloke to slice a piece of meat for me

I'm aware of a sauna in East London called Chariots. My understanding is that all your needs will be met there. PM me.

Reading that Heck article, the biggest conclusion I can come to is that William Turvill is a twat.

[andyh]

I dont want a behind the scenes bollocks.

Could they just make it so we could, you know, buy beers at half time. 

I’m not interested in buying a pint. I go to watch the football and would love to see what goes on behind the scenes.

[Bad English]

Maybe they'll show the staff training pint-pulling module. That'll be fun.

What a load of shite this bloke talks. Heck hasn't just been "listening and watching" at all. He cancelled the new crest almost as soon as he set foot through the door.

Agreed, mate.

I can't stand his tedious shite.

I'm not a fan either but the early points in that video make sense to me, I think the amount of flak Heck has had so far is over the top and that's clearly the starting point for the video.

He is good when he's talking about on-pitch stuff, I like his content, but anything off-the-pitch and he tends to sound considerably less credible.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I can't take his level of excitement. How old would Seattle Villan be now? Nah, couldn't be..

So there are 10 of us on here that dont like what Heck is doing - as long as he has the backing of the owners, he is going nowhere.

I am sure that every decision he is making, the owners are in full agreement with.

I don’t think anyone believes Heck is going anywhere soon.
It will depend on how successful the owners perceive him to be.
However, he has not made a good start from a PR  /communications perspective.
They “let them eat cake strategy “ has not  been shown to provide long term success.

Heck's only going to be judged on improving our commercial revenue. That will have already gone up, plus there's the Adidas deal next year and whatever else they're looking to do to get the cash in.

His next big challenge is going to be replacing BK8 with something more 'on-brand' and sexy. I wouldn't be surprised if that deal is cut early if we get in the Champions League, especially as CL may be less attractive to them as the logo won't be worn in some countries anyway.

If he goes and gets a main sponsor that brings in big bucks and is a more respectable and attractive brand partner, he'll have done a big part of his job.

I agree with all of that. But he has in a very short time pissed off a lot of people, the fact that Canadian bloke makes a video about it proves the point.
They were all schoolboy mistakes because the messaging was so poorly executed, and pissing off lots of supporters within such a short time period brings its own pressure.
Heck and his Canadian fanboy don’t even understand because culturally they don’t get it.

That podcast is terrible. A few weeks ago when the new badge appeared, he said he'd donate £100 to Acorns if it was really, and then listed all the stuff that was shit about it. Clearly not understanding that a club isn't going to apply for a trademark on something it has no plans on using. Now he's trying to defend Heck's atrocious new effort.
