Vinai Venkatesham to leave Arsenal next summer

[Makavelii]

Will Edu continue to fall upwards? The natural progression would be for Edu to go up and Per to get promoted to DOF.

Lol wut. Edu is not a CEO. No way.
We need someone with extremely high business acumen.
I rate Edu as DoF, but no way he suits CEO.

 

[Makavelii]

Unsure if good or bad or if we will even feel a difference with the successor.

Probably not hugely on the football side.
Maybe in strategy that affects how we do do all kinds of deals.

If Edu became CEO, Arsenal would turn into Theranos. Christ

@Yousif Arsenal tough luck lad, good luck with the job search

I'm in tears we cannoh replace him

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Vinai always been here for business and marketing area of the club to replace him we need someone similar.

So AM marketing and financial experts need to apply.

@db10_therza for financing and Gary Deep for marketing imo

He geniunely seems to care about the club etc., but I won't lie that he's failed upwards.

Not something I would worry about too much.

Given how our last few CEOs have been inside hires, do we reckon Tim Lewis' forehead is getting the job?

No images of him with a Turtleneck thus far, think we're safe.

 

[Gunner D]

No one wants that, baby.

Why not?

You must never have been on a plane where more than half the people clap when the plane lands.

Plenty of times

 

[Big Poppa]

Well said. Future CEO talking right there

On reflection I think I’m being too harsh on him.

Dude you made valid points. It's just one of those jobs that you can only really gauge impact from on the inside.

I've been on a few of those lol. Lots of nervous fliers imo.

 

[Batman]

Anyone but Elon and the Fyre Festival guy are probably improvements. Onwards and upwards.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

I'd like someone who used to be at Utd assuming there's anyone decent still in circulation. The revenue they generate is phenomenal.

we could give the chinese woman who scammed him a call, she's a knack for getting deals that seem to good to be true.

That was a sackable offense.

Timing of this is interesting. Choosing to seek a new challenge when the challenge of Arsenal being a top club and competing with top clubs for commercial revenue is harder than ever.

I think we have our eye on someone.

Hard to believe he wasn't sacked after that fiasco tbh...I was just listening to the Arsenal Vision podcast who were talking about Vinai and they completely memory holed this.

No rating please Gdeep, leave that for WAGS

The litmus test for her will be how she handles the silent treatment from Tets when he doesn't get the players he wants.
