Welcome to B6, El Presidente.

[Astnor]

Welcome Monchi as our new President of Football Operations. Have we had a President before?

Reporting directly to Sawiris and Edens.

It looks to me like, with the changes they have made, they knew we had a structure which worked for getting promoted and staying up, but now we're looking at the next level, and they've realised it needs something different.

Even if it meant effectively potting Purslow, which can't have been an easy move for them.

It feels like we're being run by serious, ambitious people.

I think it's more about the shift from a club to a group. Heck and Monchi have both been taken on at the group level (and Lange has moved over there as well). I wonder if, in part, it's a way of shifting some costs out of the FFP calculations.
