Obviously ploy to curry favor with davek.

Can't see Dave liking Basketball to be honest.

Celtics Bidders: Friedkin, Middleman, Chisholm, Pagliuca

Groups engaged in the Boston Celtics bidding and sale process include Steve Pagliuca, the Friedkin Group, Stan Middleman and William Chisholm.

They’ll steal all our tallest players

Jake O'Brien to Boston, then.

They want to build a mega sporting group it seems.

On a side note, Roma's previous owner, James Pallotta, was actually a Celtics shareholder. Perhaps they're buying from him and the others. Their consortium was/is named Boston basketball partners.

Edit: checked it and it's true.

I think the pallotta-friedkin link might have been a deciding factor in submitting the bid.

5.6 billion bid for a basketball team. I wonder if the ‘they’re skint though’ narrative will persist.

What narrative is this??

Mike, people seem to misunderstand the difference between what we have to spend and what we're allowed to spend.

From the official site -

Everton has added to its Executive Leadership Team, confirming two new appointments.

Aaron Duckmanton joins the Club as Chief Marketing & Digital Officer, with Simon Hunter taking up the position of Chief Stadium Commercial Officer.

The appointments follow last week's announcement that Angus Kinnear is set to become the Club’s Chief Executive Officer, effective from 1 June 2025.

The new arrivals are part of structural changes designed to broaden the expertise and specialist personnel supporting the Club's CEO and its Board.

Before joining Everton, Hunter amassed more than 20 years of experience at Chelsea, where he held the position of Director of Venue and Hospitality. He will now oversee all aspects of revenue generation at Everton's new 52,888-capacity stadium on matchday and non-matchday that sits beyond commercial partnerships.

Duckmanton has vast experience across marketing, digital and content disciplines from time spent at Leeds United and Crystal Palace respectively. He will oversee the Club departments responsible for marketing operations, content and social media output, and digital platform development, with an overall remit to grow the fanbase and commercial revenues.

ALSO​

Alan McTavish has left his role as CEO of Everton Women.

The Club wishes Alan every success in the next step of his career.

A further announcement on the Club’s leadership structure for Everton Women will be made in due course.

Reminds me of that billboard advert for a washing machine in the late 1980s featuring Steve Davis: "boringly reliable."

The ultimate compliment.

Are you talking about @davek?

 

[davek]

Handing plaudits out to this lot because they hired a new marketing officer and a commercial officer.

Unreal.

Well, not everyone is married.
