Luke Michael?

[64]

Only company I can find with the name they’ve given for him working at is in Cambodia

[CMC]

Is this the investor who’s been kept under wraps?
Was involved in the Gym Business before starting his own consultancy.
According to his LinkedIn

[Awaywego]

I take it that’s another non playing staff salary to find.

[sufc_not_on_tour]

Seems he claims to be here to do exactly what Matt Roberts was brought in to do, doubt he can do any worse.
At least there’s any empty office for him now that Merch Labs were harshly ordered to vacate.

Just a pic of the fella on the club FB page with zero other info other than he position.
Surely a bit of back story should have accompanied such a announcement, alas communication club to fans just doesnt seem to be a priority recently.

I can’t see the point of him and Roberts, so maybe it’s cheerio ceo

Cannot believe what I am seeing. We are strapped for cash and worried what class of player will have for next season but that doesn’t matter we need a Vice President to back up our stressed and overworked CEO. How many season tickets do we have to sell to cover their wages, money that would be better spent on players. If Luke does as well as the CEO in attracting more capital into the club we are in trouble. They will have taken more than they have brought in.

MAYBE ..CEO Roberts will summon himself to the board room and by mutual consent sack himself then take the club to court for unfair dismissal?..

Another pal of Sharp.
It’s fairly obvious where the club is heading!

Very much doubt it is a paid role. On LinkedIn there is a post where he describes Ian Sharp as one of his closest friends.

Football club Vice Presidents are usually not paid. They get free tickets and Director level hospitality but not a salary. He could be on a percentage of profits he brings to the business. Wouldn’t have a problem with that.

If he brings more cash to SUFC being his own or generates it no issues with that… The board are doing away with the hangers on and the best the ones who used to get it for free is either sit in their little clique in front of the Directors box or pay for the posh seats

[SouthYorksIron]

Unless things have changed spectacularly since November 2023, when Prince Real Estate International Limited had one director and one employee (presumably the same person) and lost £150k in the financial year, I’m not going to get too excited about this appointment.

Information publicly available on the Companies House website.

I guess I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for the time being, but there was a strong whiff of bullshit bingo buzzwords from the statement.

[TheJuryeffsOut]

Wonder if he’s got a spare complimentary ticket for Hereford away ?

He’ll be using that to lure in the big spenders, perfect bait for his hook.

[Awaywego]

Vice presidents in football normally get paid.

Now honorary vice presidents don’t, of which we have 3 at the moment.

[Apollo11]

Yet more business blandness sweeping away the community vibe?

[MK Iron]

I’ll bow to your superior knowledge Awaywego and assume the board are already wasting my season ticket money.

[Harrytheiron]

Looks like another phoney with no substance to me

[ironfromafar]

When first seeing Mr Michael pic i thought “Phantom of the Opera” but upon reflection also it has to be one of Sharps or Roberts besties which i believe has already been confirmed.

Lets give him a chance and see what he brings to the table as the club needs all the income streams it can find especially now the unity mafia mega Maw millions has gone tits up.

Hoping a super rich investor (dare i say buyer) is found as missing out on promotion this season followed by a player exodus would IMO lead to a prolonged stay in NLN as the teams already in it improve and the likes of Macc town are added to the mix.

you have proof ,other than the word Honorary in a title?

I am worried that a title usually used for somebody who’s done something for the club in the past, even if only longevity of service is being handed out like this .
If he’s got a proper role then give him a proper job title .
Being Ian Sharpe’s mate and a Cambodian “Real estate” vendor is not something that I immediately expect to be the prerequisites for pushing a football club forward. I think somebody may have had too much Whisky Cambodia

[Harrytheiron]

Looks like a medium. I hope we don’t see more any more of these posers/Sharp associates arrive. Experience and substance needed.

[ironfromafar]

The salary for this position (if there is one) is the irritating part of this especially with club so strapped but i say give the fella a chance, hey maybe he still has high up connections within the WWE over the pond and bring wrestling to AAGP.

Maybe his brief is that he’s going to be working a shitload of (otherwise unreachable) contacts for investment into the Club.

[Apollo11]

Or maybe he’s been brought in to replace Matt Roberts.
