Taking over as Chief Executive at MK Dons, a relatively young football club that emerged from controversial origins, after leaving a historic and traditional club like Bolton Wanderers, presents a unique and challenging transition.

 

"Transitioning from Bolton Wanderers, a club deeply rooted in English football history with over a century of tradition, to MK Dons, a club that represents a different chapter in the evolution of the sport, offers a unique set of challenges and opportunities. At Bolton Wanderers, I was privileged to serve a passionate community that has witnessed the highs and lows of football for generations. The club’s history, values, and identity are intertwined with the fabric of English football culture.

MK Dons, on the other hand, represents a newer model—one that has emerged from the dynamics of modern football. While the club's origin has been a subject of debate, it is also an opportunity to shape a distinctive identity grounded in a vision for the future. My goal as Chief Executive is to respect the club’s origins while working to build an inclusive, forward-thinking, and community-oriented organization.

I recognize the skepticism that some may hold due to MK Dons' unique background. However, my focus is on the potential to create a vibrant footballing environment that inspires new generations of fans, engages with the local community, and fosters a culture of sustainable growth both on and off the pitch. At its core, football is about passion, community, and the power to bring people together, and my aim is to bring these values to life at MK Dons.

I look forward to bringing my experiences from Bolton Wanderers—where I learned the importance of heritage, loyalty, and resilience—to this new role, while also embracing the distinct challenges of guiding MK Dons toward a future where it can establish its own legacy in English football."

I only focussed in on one word from all that - Yankee doodle Chat GPT  'skepticism'

Sounds like the sort of shite I used to spout in job applications when I had a "career"

Oliver next? He's Burnley too... served as the Hart Spin Doctor

make sense weekend, hopefully he'll parade round the pitch at half time then he can get the round of applause he deserves 

To be fair to the guy he’s actually done a lot of good things for the club in the relatively short time he’s been here so like him or not and I don’t know him so can’t really say, we should be thankful for that and I do and wish him well at MK if that’s where he’s going.

Think it's purely down to the membership scheme, because it was a bit of a ballache.

He Haa been the person who implemented many things, some simple, some complicated. Some done well, some less so. But he's been doing the stuff needed & has been supported by Sharon Brittan. She will know his worth & will miss him.

An easy target for the boo boys & boy have they abused him.

If he was good enough for Sharon he's good enough for me. Good luck & thanks.

His regular villainising of a large amount of the fanbase, many of whom are the core base that the club so heavily rely on and then in the same breath categorising them as customers. Never sat right and from that point on you're fighting a losing battle. 

Word is his replacement is coming in from the City Group anyway, so onwards and upwards.
