    We need a Network shirt deal and sponsor - that would be worth a few quid and meets the levered commercial model.

    I see your point, but agreeing how the revenue from it is shared out could be a nightmare. This is the kind of issue which often vexes global network companies of all kinds.

  • Don't see an issue as Duchatelet owns 95% of Staprix and a simple calculation can be put in place. Revenue can be split on volumes or current income. It will be interesting to see where commercial revenues (Inc media) and the services are in 2/3 years time.
    Absolutely vital if CAFC is to keep gaining new fans and growing.

    The issue will likely emerge at one of the smaller clubs. When they see the tiny share of such a deal at say Ujpest, they will instantly claim that they can do a better deal locally.

    Anyway we are veering off topic..

    Whilst I wish the chap good luck, the corporate bullshit-speak in the above tweet does not auger well...

    What would you rather he said?

    "Alright you bunch of cocks, I'm here to do something you know F all about so do one. Where's me beer? "

    Anything in plain English would have worked for me...

    Agreed that each club (large and small) may have a view about their revenue share or service offering - and that is why there is a group resource who can look at quick wins and raising the standard across the board.
    People have reacted to six players arriving from Liege(and network scouting) last January. How will fans respond to more and more group resources running the show.

    As opposed to being off topic I think this is highly relevant to this appointment... and to all executive appointments going forwards.

    Pleez ladies and all knackered tarts comme moi, could we at least form a disorderly queue?
  • What a hunk.

  • I have to say I learned a new word today. I can't remember I've seen synergy anywhere before...
  • You're in good company.

    Amaury is looking for synergies as well.
  • @JessieAddick now you have to learn to remember never to use it!

    Could you also ban "going forward", while we are at it?

    Or set up a special flag for such terms, perhaps using a David Brent image?

    :-)



  • Could have an image for regrets, blame and general scaremongering - a dinosaur perhaps? ;)
  • On the topic of crap words, I give you 'just' (unless it is related to law).

    You're "just saying" then Seth?

    I asked him how he got the job...

    "Mr.Duchatelet employed me because he liked my can-do attitude and ability to think outside the box. I’m going to be proactive in taking a helicopter view of the best practises at each football company in the group and make action items from my learnings. With buy-in from the leadership we can get a win-win situation by synergising the results of the blue sky thinking across the network to create a holistic strategy focusing on low hanging fruit as well as keeping an eye on the metrics to determine the next stage going forwards and keeping the high priority items on the radar."

    Good to hear he is communicating with fans and in such detail. And he clearly isn't one of those people who use lots of jargon such as "sweating the asset".
  • I bet some of the ladies here would like to sweat Amaury's asset : P
  • He is hoisting it up the flag pole to see how it flies. Kicking it round the playground. He will be getting a ball park figure. Sucking it to see.

    Wot it mean ?

    It's a decent idea, but I suspect that it would need a name/brand that are, or want to be, active in the individual countries and I'm not sure l can think of one who would want to put their marker against several lower league clubs in various countries.

    Potentially kit/training gear deal, extending Nike's (or other) reach to the other clubs - I don't know who does the kits at the other clubs at the other clubs at the moment.

    It would be foolish to start handling our comms at the level of the lowest common denominator.
  • Synergy - definition: the deployment of energy in sinful pursuits.
  • Only Nigel Farage can save us from Brussels.

    Allow me to translate into English...

    "Mr Duchatelet employed me because I agreed with everything he said. I am going to take a cursory look at each of the clubs in the network and see if I can understand how they work. By relying on the existing management teams of the clubs in the network, I will claim any credit for anything good I can see going on."

    Belgacom must be gutted at losing this rising star.
  • Lot of negativity - good job everyone on here is so perfect at their job
