Another one out of the revolving door

Sub · Nov 15, 2011

hopefully this will be the begining of the end of SISU and the rest of the so called board and will allow a new investor to take over CCFC!!!

We'll_live_and_die · Nov 15, 2011

Hmm I wonder what really is going on now. He was the one link that CCFC had with the fans. He gave us time unlike the rest of the board.

"The ultimate parent company of the club" - ego!!

pusbccfc · Nov 15, 2011

He's a prick anyway.

skybluesam66 · Nov 15, 2011

his comment about making room on the board from people from the community is an interesting one - especially as it is oublished on the offal

Bennets Afro · Nov 15, 2011

Another job and another paycheck for ken

ccfcrob · Nov 15, 2011

he was a prick he may have replied to us on twitter but nothing important and he dodged questions, HES NEVER SEEN US PLAY A GAME good riddance

OyJimmy · Nov 15, 2011

Not good enough. Time Ken told us what's really happening. If I were a small business supplying the club I'd want cash up front right now. As none of this feels right.

"delivers a better experience to the fans in the coming year" - is the singular year significant or am I just reading too much into it?

CovFan · Nov 15, 2011

If SISU now own one half of the stadium I'd say that would be mission accomplished for him. He was only brought in because he is director of one of the biggest entertainment firms in the world.

TheRoyalScam · Nov 15, 2011

In his own words he found it "increasingly difficult for me to continue to provide the kind of hands on attention the Club requires and deserves."

I wonder if that's the "hands on attention" we're getting from a certain orange-tanned "chairman" who lives in Portugal.

No mention of Brody's continuing directorship of the mysterious Otium Entertainment Group either.

:thinking about:The plot thickens.

When did SISU get their hands on half of the stadium?

i'd say this is more likely to mean he has a deal to stay on as a consultant for a year rather than anything else.

Jack Griffin · Nov 15, 2011

Has he been told there won't be another dividend payment, LOL

Mumford and Daughter · Nov 15, 2011

i said on here 2 weeks agao he'd leave but no-one belived me.

the club is becoming a joke from top to bottom.

Perryccfc · Nov 15, 2011

Can't believe this, I'm gutted he's gone...

Do I sound sympathetic?

WillieStanley · Nov 15, 2011

More than we got from PC

sky blue zam · Nov 15, 2011

Dun dun dun another one bites the dust

why?

what did he actually do for the club? Make promises about 'Franchise' players and chat bollox on twitter and even then he stopped that?

BackRoomRummermill · Nov 15, 2011

He has jumped ship before it has sunk, he still ha smillions stashed away and in a year will think Coventry who

ICHAN · Nov 15, 2011

Don't think it will take him that long brm proberly he has said coventry who since he was born, no -one should have any sympathy for these businessmen as they don't give a shit who or what they trample on along the way.

Communicated with fans on Twitter when fans were crying out for communication from the board (he had no need to, continued to do so even when receiving abuse, and now the cycle begins again when we want communication from the club).

'Franchise player'...I liked the comment. Showed an awareness of sports marketing and the importance of King to the club. Would morale, position and attendances be quite so low if our 'franchise player' had inked a new contract? I doubt it. I don't think the guy should be hung for using a north American term where the meaning has equal impact across the Atlantic.

The fans were crying out for communication and he gave it. I also liked the way he spoke on twitter. refusing to crack (okay maybe once he did) at the absolute bollocks some people spouted at him. He always answered generally and without going into the secrets of the club what he said was probably the truth.

The problem with most football fans, myself included, is the truth is maybe hard to take at times. He just said it how it was. At the time of him answering the board probably had discussed many of the ideas and ways forward he talked about. He was in a lose lose situation and fair play to the guy he lasted longer at trying to be diplomatic online than maybe i would.

flammablepiss · Nov 15, 2011

Celebrations all round! He is an absolute fucking muppet anyway... Communication is all good and well but at least go about it with some kind of professionalism.

sw88 · Nov 15, 2011

No great loss. He's still a shareholder so will still have an interest in how the clubs does (altho history makes you wonder whether he is actually interested at all).

The term "Franchise Player" completely fails to translate to UK sports, especially football. If anything, it showed his shocking ignorance regarding football. And you're kinda missing the point that HE SAID WE'D GET A BLOODY REPLACEMENT FRANCHISE PLAYER! WHERE IS HE THEN, EH?!??!

Gah, there's really no need to continue being such a lickspittle, he's gone now.

he lied, constantly!

TheOldFive · Nov 15, 2011

The guy's business is Digital and Social Media so to think he got bombed off Twitter is a bit of an embarrassment for someone... I think he was brought in because of sports entertainment and venue links which in theory had potential, but his efforts at Twitter engagement were pretty embarrassing... Right from that first press conference you could see a tension as obviously a SISU hired in guy (and mate of Onye) that Ken Delieu didn't know from Adam and was suspicious of: - "our man on the ether... I leave the internet to My Grandkids etc"...

georgehudson · Nov 15, 2011

what a 'farcically predictable & trite' - club statement,
'kd' or 'oi', you embarrass yourself/selves, further,
are you 'kd/oi' aware that you are hated, not because of financial prudence, but because you are perceived to be a liars, deceivers, & charlatans,
call a 'fans forum' when you attend,
(not with an invited audience though),
AND DEFEND YOU ACTIONS,
si** sh**
DO ONE

Only if you're dense.

Utter nonsense. To identify the long-term, beyond-the-pitch value of a key player displays no ignorance at all. "Marlon King is an exceptionally valuable player to CCFC"/"You know nothing about football!" Bah.

And you're kinda missing the point that HE SAID WE'D GET A BLOODY REPLACEMENT FRANCHISE PLAYER! WHERE IS HE THEN, EH?!??!

Interesting that you use the term 'franchise player' so correctly and so soon after saying that it doesn't translate to UK sports... As for the replacement, nowhere to be seen. Does this mean he lied? Nobody can ever know. It's another of the pitfalls of communicating with the fans. Better to say nothing at all with people like you holding onto every word for dear life.

Gah, there's really no need to continue being such a lickspittle, he's gone now.

Go apply a wet cloth to your face. If you fluster yourself every time you hear different points of view you really shouldn't be on a forum.

I wouldn't say he was a liar. He could have been misled. He could have said a few things that never came to fruition but doubt he lied.

The first thing anyone thinks if the things talked about online never happen is it's a lie. It could be he should have said things may happen rather than they were happening but i'm sure he never
blatantly lied.
