longtimeblue Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I started secondary school in 95... Must be the same age. :censored: me I feel inadequate. As others have said, with a track record like that, no doubt he's just chipping in as and when but on the face of it, you'd think he's definitely got something different to bring to the table.

Stevie_J Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ha Ha. Little bit different CV. Not denigrating Jenny or Broady at all, but this chap brings more to the table than them combined. Who knows if it will work, but different gravy. Tha knows nowt about nowt. His role will be completely different. He'll be there in an advisory role, probably relating to the commercial/business development/licensing opportunities that might arise out of the new stand (and which, by the sound of it, may be key to its completion) not to do any of the day-to-day marketing.

HarryBosch Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 We'd have had no idea about what exactly he'll be doing without some of the stellar, definitive replies in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebOAFC Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) He's c.30 years old. I was in 6th form with him at Hulme. Not spoken to him since school but he was sound, very intelligent (head boy at Hulme from memory) and a massive Latics fan. I've heard sporadic updates on him over the years and seems to have done extremely well for himself. Just the kind of person we should be getting on board to move the club forward in my opinion. EDIT: To echo longtimeblue, considering we were at school together that CV makes me feel like the world's biggest waste of space!!

slystallone Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hulme 1995 to 2002. Someone must know him. Was he really? Well well. He'd have been a 3rd year when i was in my last year of A-Levels; so i probably stopped him running down corridors or pushing in the lunch line. I dont remember him though. But I'm another to add to the growing list of people looking at his age, and his achievements and thinking 'feck'.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'd've just started in 6th form when he started at Hulme, so wouldn't have known him. But yep, I now feel massively inadequate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Local boy who has done very well for himself. He will be a rich man compared to us mere mortals but I doubt he has the kind of money he could seriously invest in oafc but it's good to have fresh blood on the board and no doubt he is very well connected. Maybe the club is paying him for his expertise, or he may be on a percentage of any new income he can bring in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsrblue Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) He's joining the party a little late, the big deal has been done (SD.comP). Unless he had some input to that behind the scenes before joining the board. Edited July 19, 2014 by laticsrblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Maybe the club is paying him for his expertise, or he may be on a percentage of any new income he can bring in.I'd guess his day rate is several times Leon Clarkes' weekly one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another fan Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Maybe the club is paying him for his expertise, or he may be on a percentage of any new income he can bring in. Or as a genuine Latics fan doing his bit to help the Club in another way than having to contribute to Playershare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackey Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Richard was always a decent fella whilst I had my illustrious (ok ok, pipe down!) spell at the club; at the time he was working in Simon Corney's side business based out of the office above the shop - can't for the life of me remember what it was called, something to do with international football development or something.

HarryBosch Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hopefully he'll be involved in future transfer negotiations - Rochdale have just got between £750k & £1.2m for Scott Hogan after 32 games in League Two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
