What do you think we pay for a CEO role at Orient?

No malice in my question, just genuinely curious

A endless supply of dunkin donuts and some dodgy hoardings to take home and put in the garden from a tech firm no ones heard of.

I think I read somewhere that Ling is on around £100k and I would guess that Macklin would be on similar money.

Did he ever sort out the Bovril lids?

If true I’d be fuming if I was Danny…ceo would be on a lot more than a dressed up scout.

Bit harsh

He created the traffic light system for rating players as well

I’d guess it’s in that ball park too.

Although that’s a decent wage and one lots of people would love to earn, DM will be dealing with arseholes on a daily basis pulling in multiple times more than that for doing a fraction of the work and under a fraction of the pressure he has to contend with.

Yet he still finds time to Board. The club are paying someone handsomely to post on a Division 4 message board. Is he the most highly paid Boarder?

Good. That's that one cleared up, clarified and put to bed.

So will this consultancy business be a partnership or a company? Remember that depending on profit levels it is still tax advantageous to operate through a company and the limited liability protection it gives could save you when you screw up and get sued (obvs, not saying you will). Anyway no matter which route you go down remember client entertaining is NEVER tax deductible.

Hooking the CEO, you're the guvnor

yes I thought I was never going to catch anything and had to change the bait and tactics a few times. But I managed to present the bait attractively and in the end the take was a clean one.

Elsewhere I see you're doing the Boarding equivalent of a Mackie bash on Thorgeson. Cool.

ALL ON YOUR OWN ? WELL THATS GRATITUDE FOR YA !!!!!!

Doh and Thor ain’t having that, careful now.

Back on topic, Danny has done lots of good things and seems very competent in the role. He’s probably what we needed at our lowest ebb, someone who is a great marketer who is good at generating money.

However, I’m hoping there’s a bit of a reshuffle and the CEO role covers more than the commercial side of things. Considering the new investors and stability in the league I’d also like a change in tact to us plastering a name on every square inch of Brisbane road to get money. We’ve definitely lost something about our identity in the last few years and that’s not Danny’s fault, but how’s a good opportunity to consider our strategy in that area.

As posted on another thread…

Morning - in 4 years I’ve not posted directly on here like this. I feel I must correct this - I can assure you that Kent and the rest of the board are very sorry to see me go. Please let me know if you would like to discuss further. I am leaving, very much here until late February, to peruse my own business opportunities of which I will share details in due course for those interested. Kind regards Danny

correction max it was oyinbo . (GUVNOR)

Drop the mental gymnastics mate. I'm the GUVNOR.

PS I wasn't trying to work anything out. I was satirising the conspiracy theorists.

Careful now, Maxy. Nuance and irony aren't well-known traits for many O's fans.

But good work here, Goldstein.

I guess there are some who prefer to pound the beat of the crystal clear chalk stream where the prey is visible and care needs to be taken not to startle the victim and others who just prefer to lob a bunch of worms carelessly arranged on a hook into a dirty canal.

Slacker doesn't Board much these days. Apparently he likes Welsh things now.

The consultancy could help clubs seamlessly blend corporate sponsorship with the sporting experience. For cricket, why not have a papa johns delivery driver do a lap of the field on his moped in-between overs? Or slip in some morally dubious branding to a stand or stadium name? Naming stuff after heroes or legends just doesn't pay.
