United's off-the-field team has been strengthened. The Club has appointed Stephen Bettis as its new Chief Executive.

Mr Bettis has been working in an advisory capacity with the Blades following the departure of Managing Director Mal Brannigan at the end of last year.

"We are delighted to make Stephen's role permanent, where he will lead our off-the-field activities and liaise closely with new team manager Chris Wilder," said co-owner Kevin McCabe.

Stephen's career commenced in an Accountancy Practice where he qualified as an accountant and obtained several years' experience. He then moved into industry and subsequently became a Finance Director and shareholder of a Property Investment and Development Company, which invested in property throughout Europe for 17 years.

Mr Bettis will also become a director of the Club.

 

[Pedro Verde]

Is he really replacing Phipps ? Phipps was the Co Chairman who represented the Prince
Seems like hes replacing Brannigan

 

[Harry's Game]

Oh! A property expert on the board? Who'd have thought it?

Heaven forbid a football man.

Well spotted!

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Can I have some money for signings steve?

No sorry Chris.

Oh ok then.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Off field activities.

Chief exec not co- chairman.

Basically he's the new Turry.

 

[Putney Blade]

Good footballing pedigree?!

 

[FriethBlade]

It's irrelevant, he must be the 47th chief executive under McCabe and all they've done is oversee our decline !

Sheffield United Football Club is a dictatorship with only one man calling the shots, the underlings are just puppets !

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Fucking hell im ecstatic, some fucker else who knows fuck all about football transfers.

What did his 'advisory role' consist of?

Saying in January "No you can't have any fuckin money for transfers"

 

[Tyler Durden]

Always exciting times when a new useless cunt in a suit walks through the revolving door.

[Barney]

Is this a football club or a property company?

Would you appoint someone with lots of football knowledge to a key position within a property company?

No, so why appoint someone with property knowledge to a key position within a football club?

 

[Oreyt]

"Director of On Board Entertainment and Positive Customer Experience Appointed For White Star Line's Newest Ship!"

 

[sheffielder]

Really upset. I thought Wayne Allison had come back to help sort things out!

 

[sheffielder]

Do some of you mongs just see property and go ape shit? Must have missed the bit about being an accountant....

"Director of On Board Entertainment and Positive Customer Experience Appointed For White Star Line's Newest Ship!"

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Really pleased. I thought Wayne Allison (47) was Wider's first signing, the emphasis on youth will prevail.
Then I read.
Not pleased.
Hopes dashed.
Woe. Begat Woe.

 

[Blade58]

Oh! A property expert on the board? Who'd have thought it?

Heaven forbid a football man.

Getting to be a standing joke this appointing of anyone and everyone who has no expertise in the game of football

Seems inconceivable that a club of our size, with a multi million pound turnover has no one on the top table that knows anything about the game

If I didn't know better I'd swear McCabe was doing it on purpose just to piss us off

The saying "rudderless ship" springs to mind

Fuck me another bean counter. There arent enough at the club already. So I expect another dose of "Baldrick I have 2 beans and I add 2 beans".

Couldnt we buy a player with what we pay these stumps?

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Season failed

Board room moves - tick
Manager changed - tick
Key man sold in summer - not yet
Mcabe holds fans 'forums' - tick

 

[Bladesman]

We could have just appointed someone like Alan Johnson. As we seem to appoint people who make little difference to the way the club is run.

Do we have any key men left? Tick

Who is this key man?

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Tune in between 0200 & 0300 when RS will be holding a "Special FH" on this appointment.

 

[Sean Thornton]

I'd imagine his brief is to get the club on the right track financially and running smoothly as a large enterprise should plus would expect that expertise n another particularly volatile industry would be a bonus but let's pretend he's just got a big red inked rubber stamp that says "NO" for whenever CW gives him a list of players he wants.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Who is this key man?

Wilf?

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Have we appointed anyone to take over from where Nick Cox left us?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Who is this key man?

Anyone. He'll be the new Squinny who went from being jeered to a petition for a statue of him overnight.?

Man. City don't have a football man on the board.

This is Sheffield United.
We'd be appointing Adam Johnson, Boris Johnson & Elton John's son.
