I met Joe a couple months ago when I went to the club to pick up cup tickets. Seemed a really nice bloke and chatted to him for about 10mins. He was brought into to succeed Erik in the first place and it would seem ludicrous not to appoint him now. Good luck Joe

Can anyone point me to an article/link with a bit more detail on Palmer's background? I'm pretty underwhelmed by appointment but would like to do a bit more research before I make too harsh a judgement.

LOL, Sharif. There's a definite hint of bad-luck story forlorn in that photo.

Sorry, been busy all day so missed the vitriol. Don't worry, I get it, but after all these years I view current MK as little more than an annoying ex-girlfriend. I am in no way diminishing what those cunts did to us, but on the plus side we've got something even better than we had out of it and I'm concentrating on the positives. Whilst still slagging off our ex-manager :) Also, as it keeps being raised, at no point did I say the filth should get three points. Right, onwards and upwards folks.

WRT Palmer, I'm not so bothered whether he's a bit of a slimeball - that's not exactly unusual for many modern-day football admin types. And the very fact he was at Shaktar/Wednesday is a helluva lot more experience than anyone else at AFCW. I think the most important thing is that he's competent and doesn't make too many mistakes...

How many of us would know if that is actually Joe Palmer as opposed to someone they’ve sneaked in?

Not only is Palmer the invisible man, he is also the silent man up till now. Maybe he will show us what he's about now that he's been pushed into the limelight. ;-)

Meadow - cheers, I'll send you two samples

No qualms with Joe Palmer, will see how we do under his leadership. Maybe he'll even get the catering sorted out.

REPD - Groove Mechanic. It's not free but OH paid for it years ago to clean up our vinyl. If the file size iso managable, you can email it to me and OH says he will give it a go for you. Idea of original source is vinyl or whatever would be a help.

YW - it became clear to me that NA had lost it after we lost at home to Plymouth in 2017. Took over a year for Board to see it!

Doesn't sound like it was a a massively competitive recruitment process (ie "you are the only candidate, do you want the job?")- as REPD says the main thing here is that the invisible man has now revealed himself.

Sorry, meant immerse, not inculcate.

DDD - did I ever say/state that NA had not done a great job getting us up from League 2 at Wembley? No. Did I or have I ever said that evening away at Accy wasn't brilliant? No. So for once take note...Ardley lost the plot and nearly royally fucked our club over...however I along with many others will Never forget what he achieved at Wembley...and beating franchise...was also an achievement and I thank NA for those things.

re: Joe Palmer. IMHO, he has kept a low profile as he realised that '80%-gate' was ill-conceived and he wanted to inculcate himself in all things AFCW before putting his head back above the parapet. In this he has succeeded. Most of being CEO is using common sense. Often less is more.

Palmer's photo on that piece looks like its been photoshopped out one of those local news stories with headlines like 'Dudley local compensated £200 by local takeaway after SEVEN horse bollocks turn up in his kung pao'

Nobody else even considered / interviewed ?

DDD - well said. :o)

Let's hope he doesn't Fuck anything up

Really uninspired by Joe Palmer. Not hugely experienced and on a personal level seems a rather greasy sort.

That was my reaction too, REPD! The Invisible Man!

So that's what Joe Palmer looks like.

Well, they are certainly bigger than us, Lurks!

Shaktar Donetsk

Ah I did wonder when to expect DDD crawling out from under his rock
