Damien Irvine, and he's the Chairman of the board, not the CEO. We don't have a CEO, just general managers of Football, Business and the Leagues departments who report to the board.
Irvine is a hard working man- as is the entire board. None receive any renumeration. They've also (fingers crossed) got the development up and over the line, addressing the Club's financial situation.
I don't know Irvine personally but I believe his background is that of a fan of the Club and small time sponsor rather than ex-hero or mover and shaker.
I only have a passing knowledge of your Board's political troubles but from what I've seen/read/heard Parra could use a bit of that- some people at the top who don't have a whole lot of pretenses.
