I have just read that ian ayre will be leaving his role in may 2017, that gives us more time to blame him for any failed transfers, in the interests of fairness can any of the eds tell us in which areas he has excelled, the fsg tried to change his mind but he has made his mind up, this is not a post bashing the guy, its just he is a "marmite" figure amongst fans, so any info beyond transfer dealings would be great. thanks for your time.

Increasing commercial revenue would be one.

I believe he helped in saving us from bankruptcy, but MAYBE his handling on transfer negotiations has cost us? Or maybe not, some of the linked players are bullets dodged. Overall he has positives and negatives really in my opinion.
I say I look forward to the new era when he leaves and wish him well.

Overall the club is certainly in better shape today then it was when he took over as MD and eventually CEO, so I'd have to say he's been at least moderately successful.

No doubt fsg will hire the wrong replacement.
, maybe someone who knows snooker really well.
