I think that COO was the role that Wallace had at Man City.

 

 

If GW wants to take up this role which I think his experince and performance as CEO to date points him towards, I'd happily step-up for the CEO role.

 

The first thing would be to put together a contract that was very clear on the renumeration package as I think Wallace made his first 'mistake' before he even signed the contract and has been struggling ever since.

Don't worry lads the new Scouting system is just around the corner.

 

This lot seem to need a scout for finding more accountants to add to the two dozen accountants already employed.
