[Albion] Albion poach Everton star Anderson

[Goldstone1976]

I have it on good authority that Dodge’s replacement as Head of Commercial was planned to be a lawyer. I assume that this chap will have that remit, plus presumably, other, err more legal, things too.

It makes a huge degree of sense to have a lawyer in this role, given the amount of our commercial deals in the PL era that will involve licencing the use of our name/other assets, and the risk of there already being unauthorised uses going on.

 

[BensGrandad]

the details of Dodges sacking was never revealed anywhere was it.not even rumours. I saw him getting on the train to Falmer presumably on a match day at Burgess Hill station. looked very down in the dumps.

Yep - and sponsorship deals too, I guess.

 

[Triggaaar]

So he's the new fan liaison officer?

There were rumours, but of course we won't be discussing them on here.

'Star' seems a little over the top. I was expecting us to have poached an 18 yr old player, not a lawyer!

Me too.

Because of all the mean comments on here about Barber that this has happened, expect gagging orders to fly about whenever the price of pies shirts or season tickets are brought up.

Such is football these days..it's all about everything but the game

Shoved this here as it may be linked (lawyers, FFP).

First time ever a lawyer has been called a star!

'Is he a criminal lawyer?' she asked.

'They all are!' I replied.

Brought in to handle all the withdrawal of season ticket legal cases following the loyalty points harvesting scandal I shouldn't wonder.

 

[Megazone]

The thread title had me a lot more excited than the actual thread itself.

 

[ringmerseagulltoo]

Here to sort out the senior players briefs. In the old days, it was left to the kit man.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Had hoped he was a flair Brazilian or Scandi player, but this sounds like decent news too. Even if he is a Newcastle fan.

 

[el punal]

Can he offer any legal advice on sausage rolls?

Only if he's been called to the bar.

 

[OzMike]

Bit of a non thread really, misleading title to make it more interesting.

An interview with the man can be found here (quite old though)
https://www.thelawyer.com/my-career-story-i-was-an-ma-solicitor-now-im-a-sports-lawyer-at-everton/

He's a mergers and acquisitions lawyer. Let's hope we're not about to be sold.

Flair.

We've got Anderson!
Chris Anderson!
I just don't think you understand!
He's mustard in the courts!
You'd better wash your shorts!
We've got Chris Andserson!

Even a clock that is not working is correct twice day.

Yes, but is that good enough? There are 86,400 seconds in a day and to only be right for 2 of them is, I would suggest, not enough.

Imagine the same stat for accurate comments on NSC for a poster that's not working - just one post in 43,200 being right ....
Nuff said .....
