Re: Tom Fox: CEO

Having just looked at it I agree with gdav - I think pat meant he personally is employed by the bbc when asked to comment on the CEO.

Graham taylor himself said on radio last season if and he said If he was given the the right role at club upstairs he would think hard about it but there would have to be certain points to it and being allowed to do the job now at time that would have been DOF so its a possibility thats for sure. As per with randolph its wait and see time

Would Lerner appoint GT as his paid for Hed Hunters have failed t ofind someone? Is it more liekly Cortese wouldn't come due to the pending/possible/unlikely (delete as appropriate) take over?

Would not put it pasted Randy to offer it to Robbie Savage new CEO,
he hates the Villa just as much, and works for the BBC.

Apologies guys. I urged caution as I wasn't sure on the context of Pat Murphy's reply to me. I took it to mean a BBC Employee (as did many others) where in fact, he was being an arse as I jokingly asked him to try and find out who the rumoured CEO was. Went on to say I don't take orders off anyone buy my employer etc! I'm not sure twitter is for him, very sensitive.

Anyway the hunt goes on. This is a red herring, apologies again.

I think you missed an r

Having been involved in the exchange with him on twitter I would have to say that he is the most arrogant and condescending individual I have come across on there.

Particularly liked it though when The Ego pointed out to him that he was technically employed by us as license payers!!!

Classic

Haha! He pissed me off and i rarely get pissed off on twitter, so i went with the cheap shot haha! He was a real idiot about all that. I'd been perfectly nice and he comes out with all that precious, self important crap. He went quiet after that anyway cheers

cheers for the support RR appreciated

Doesn't matter who our CEO is. As long as the despicable Lerner is in charge we'll be run on a shoestring while struggling to cling onto our Premier League status.

A reliable source has told me it's Tom Fox from Arsenal. Don't shoot the messenger, just passing on what I've heard.

by Leafs1201 Wed Aug 20, 2014 9:05 am

Jonny Gould has just tweeted it's Tom Fox.

by Green Villan Wed Aug 20, 2014 3:43 pm

Has anyone got any info about this Tom Fox bloke?

by Green Villan Wed Aug 20, 2014 4:15 pm

Reading the reports Tom Fox does not fill me with joy, looks like he is another money man and not a football man, another yes man to Lerner, looks like we are in for a load more bull shit.

by jeffvilla Wed Aug 20, 2014 4:18 pm

Lets give him a chance, he hasn't even joined us yet. Lets stick to the standard rule give him a couple of days then we can criticise him. Together

He may be a money man but he knows how to make money for a football club. If he brings in a sporting director to sit between him and our manager then it could work well Imo.

Well I don't like what I am reading, he seems like he's all about money, only thing the reports acknowledge are this mega money deal with Puma for kits, I can't find anything football related that he's done in his career, his title isn't even CEO it's Commercial officer.

Lerner please jump off a cliff!

Do you really think Lerner would allow this? If you do I'd like some of what you're smoking Wink
