The Premier League Eye Up Saints' Vice Chairman
The Premier League are eyeing up Saints' Vice Chairman according to reports this morning, Les Reed may be villified by some Saints fans, but his CV is admired in other quarters says redandwhitesupporter.
Saints face the prospect of off-field disruption as they battle against relegation, in the form of the club’s vice-chairman Les Reed reportedly in the running to take up a new position as technical director of the Premier League according to The Times.
In an exclusive report, The Times has learnt that Reed, features on a shortlist for the job drawn up on behalf of the Premier League that also includes Kevin Thelwell, the sporting director at Championship leaders Wolves.
Reed’s could be seen as a blow to some, as since joining the club in 2010 as head of football development, he has played an important role in the clubs success of recent years.
However the current vice chairman, has come under some stick from a section of the clubs supporters over the past 2 seasons due to the teams struggles on the pitch seemingly caused by back to back poor first team managerial appointments by the board.
So should Les opt to leave the club, (should he be offered the position) it will no be met with a mixed reaction, and with the club currently staring into the Premier League abyss any offer would come at an attractive time for Reed.
What do you make of the news of Les Reed's potential departure from Saints, would you be happy to see him go? or would it be a blow for the club?
