Question Who is Geoff King?

[palexander]

The man (or one of them!) that is making a lot of blood boil at the moment - who is he?

* Is he associated with Ron Martin in anyway (past business etc)

* What is (or was) his 'day job'

* Was he successful?

* What are his strengths/weaknesses in his background?

* Is he 'under performing' in his role as 'Chief Exec' of SUFC, or just an ill-informed mouth piece puppet?

This thread is made in all seriousness. He comes across as total arrogant know it all, with no people skills or care for the club.

I would imagine 99% of us know very little about him - so if anyone is in the know, could you divulge any details to the above so we can see if he is worth voting in again when the chance arrives.

He is the walrus. He is the egg man. He is not the owl man.

Ha ha, he has done the complete opposite!

 

[Rayleigh Blue]

King is a ragging buffoon and should be sacked.

Hey and Croft builders,look them up.

 

[shrimperton]

King is someone who has forced me through his words to never set foot in roots hall until he has his big mouth stitched up!!
