Cook's replacement

Now that Garry Cook has gone, I think that City should try and tempt David Dein in as replacement. He was instrumental in the maximising of the revenue at Arsenal, and very knowledgeable about football at the same time.

However if Peter Kenyon wants to apply, he can go forth and multiply

Was Kenyon not Uniteds answer to Cook, then left for Chelsea?

He was a simelar postion yes, but without the errors. Kenyon was very good at self glorification, and thought he had more contacts than anyone else on the planet. Since he moved to Chelsea, apart from the initial self fanfare, he has not done much to raise Chelsea's turnover, indeed Bruce Buck as chairman seemed to have done more in the increasing of revenue streams.

Surely John Williams is a shoe in

I think we should try to tempt David Bernstein back to the club. He's flogging a dead horse in trying to clean up and improve the FA (a situation not helped by FIFA, which he is powerless to stop).

Come back to City, David, and continue the good work you put into the club before Keegan helped to force you out, because he wanted to sign Robbie Fowler and you didn't think he was worth the extortionate wages.

I bet Lord Bernstein regrets that big mistake with fowler going on to be such a prolific striker for us

Some of the best CEO's are often ones that you hear little about, and as such Williams might be such a guy, but i suspect that if senior people within say, Nike, Sony, Apple, Microsoft etc were talking to City, about sponsorship, or kit deals etc, that they may not take someone like williams as serious as they would a david dein etc.

I have to confess, I can not think of many alternatives to Dein, but it is not really my area of expertise. The ideal man would be David Bernstein, but he maybe more useful to us where he is.

I certainly would not want the likes of Kenyon, Parry, or Storie, and also think it should be an Englishman, with an excellent football knowledge

"I dont get it tiptop.You know the club is gonna get slated on here and the wise thing to do would be to cut cook adrift and disown him yet some of you bang on about United."

Oh the hypocrisy of rags, here we have a man u fan on the City board berating City fans for talking about man u??? Why are you on this board telling City fans what they should or should not be talking about you plank?

David Bernstein.........he isthe one, on so many levels.

he will never get drunk in a New York bar and ramble on about world domination..he understands the meaning behind the word " Typical" and he will always engage his brain before speaking........ or emailing..........he understand finance and the buying/selling of players...and he knows the FA and FIFA and UEFA..he can play them at their own game..
