All very important questions, but the biggest is who controls the purse strings? If he controls the football and Levy controls the money, we can still be plagued with issues.Questions:
Does he decide wage structure?
Does he decide transfer budget?
Why is his position different to Paratici?
Does his salary come out of the same budget as other football ops? i.e. does this mean we have less money for academy coaches?
Does he get final say on football matters? or is that still Levy?
Is there any point?
The poster in question, tries to shut down any dissenters on here, much in the same way a few other posters do.Of course we are in better shape than we were in 2001 and its not surprising that 83% of fans think that. But that in NO WAY means that 83% of any thing near that percentage of fans are happy. The vast majority of fans know that Levy has screwed up on running the football side of the business and want change.
We want to watch attractive football and so Levy appoints Jose, Nuno and Conte!!! He appoints win now managers and doesn’t give them the players they need. Levy should stick to property deals.
Coming from City Group hopefully this guy wants to build teams that press high and have a possession model that can control games then he is already a million times better than Paraticis crazy scattergun approach. Hopefully he gets straight to work on identifying a manager to rebuild the team over the next 3-4 years.Overall, this could be huge as it would indicate that Levy wouldn’t be directly overseeing the footballing aspect of the club. Aside from fulling stepping away, which isn‘t close to likely, this is the next best solution.
I have no idea though who this guy is. This is all I could find really:
“City Football Group China CEO Scott Munn has over two decades of experience as a key administrator across Australia’s leading sporting codes and organisations. Commencing his career with the Sydney Organising Committee for the 2000 Olympic Games, Scott transitioned to a position within the commercial operations of the National Rugby League (NRL), before joining Australia’s established code, the Australia Football League (AFL). While with the AFL, Scott contributed to the expansion of a second team into the competition in Queensland, the Gold Coast Suns. Scott was installed as Melbourne City FC Chief Executive Officer in the Club’s inaugural year in 2010, and in nine years with the Club he drove substantial growth across the sporting and commercial arms of the organisation, with ever improving results of the field, including the men’s first ever silverware in 2016 and back-to-back Championships for the women’s team. In 2019, he was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of City Football Group (CFG) China, and now oversees all of CFG’s operations in China.”

None of us really know at this point, but I get the impression that his role would be a step above that level. Tactics and style of play would probably be dictated by a DoF, whether that is Paratici or not. My guess is that the DoF will report to him and he will take over the entire footballing aspect of the club, more focused on the entire infrastructure from development through first team.Coming from City Group hopefully this guy wants to build teams that press high and have a possession model that can control games then he is already a million times better than Paraticis crazy scattergun approach.

I can't see Levy relinquishing power so expect the same issues to still arise, but this could be more of a positive than Paratici running the football side of things.

Ladies and Gentlemen.
Despite the cost of living crisis, the managerial shambles, the DOF scandal, dropping out of the top 4, and yet another drab trophyless season,
