I've gone back and found mine and EP's discussion in July 2019. I don't get paid extra for this you know.
EP: A football club isn't just about the football side of things, LD is the best MD we've had in my lifetime and I expected both him and the owners to want to move forward together, whether he is leaving for another club or has done something underhand - it's not good news is it.
Me: Well we've had three MDs, John Richards, Jez Moxey (later CEO) and Laurie Dalrymple.
And two of them had the same job as Laurie in name only.
He was a Commercial Director with additional responsibilities, I liked the guy but I'm not quaking in my boots that he's gone.
Kevin Thelwell and Jeff Shi run the football side of affairs.
So he did voice concerns, and I told him it had nothing to do with football.
So we're basically in the same place now
