It isnt the first time that it has been said long term employees had left, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but this is the first time it has been laid at his door.
That's just a puff piece and a bit cringe.Excellent appointment by Daddy Daniel
If he was shit then we would have sacked him. The fact of the matter is he was up until he knocked on Levy's door with his resignation letter a Board Director of this Club.
Telegraph article. The guy sounds like a bit of a cock.
Chelsea have moved to poach Todd Kline from London rivals Tottenham Hotspur after the American resigned from his post as Spurs’ chief commercial officer.
Kline has been placed on gardening leave by Spurs and will join Chelsea on completion of that in a senior business role, which could be president of business - the job vacated by Tom Glick.
Tottenham hired Kline three years ago with the brief of landing a lucrative naming rights package for the club’s £1 billion stadium, which he has left without delivering. He was listed on the club’s board.
It is expected that Kline will now play a big part in Chelsea’s stadium plans, with the club yet to announce whether they will rebuild Stamford Bridge or move to another site. Whichever option the club takes up, it is assumed they will seek stadium naming rights.
In 2016 Kline, who subsequently carried out the same role at the Washington Football Team, spearheaded an 18-year naming rights deal for the Dolphins stadium with entertainment venue Hard Rock worth a reported £180 million.
That figure represented the third largest in the sport at the time it was signed with the Dolphins around the 13th most valuable franchise in the NFL.
While Kline did not manage to land a similar stadium naming rights deal for Spurs, he was involved in two major sponsorships with Ineos and Cinch, who are the club’s shirt sleeve sponsor. He was also part of negotiations that saw the club land a deal with Formula One to build a karting track under Tottenham’s stadium, which is to open to the public this week.
Kline’s style was not universally popular within Tottenham, however, and there was a huge overhaul of staff in his department with those departing not always having other jobs to go into. Indeed, there had been speculation that he could leave the club at the end of the season, regardless of Chelsea’s move to poach him.
The arrival of Kline, following his gardening leave, will follow Chelsea’s appointment of Casper Stylsvig as chief revenue officer.

Yeah very creepy & coercive. Using dodgy £££ to get girls young enough to be his granddaughter. What a corrupt dirty old man! Black Wednesday, Patagonia scandals & now insider trader. Glad it’s all out in the open & he has been shamed. Truly exposed & is on the record as guilty of fraud etc.
Thoughts & prayers to his followers who spent many years defending & supporting him. He fooled a lot of people!
Good spot. A cheat as well. It is strange they refer to her as girlfriend rather than mistress. Painting a kinder picture.
The fact these people think they should hoard billions whilst over 3 million children starve to death each year tells you all you need to know about these horrible people. More for me less for all you attitude. How much is enough for them! All the poverty in the world & they just hoard billions.
"So what was it about the ugly, bald, 85 year old billionaire Joe Lewis that first attracted you to him?"
I think they have been so beating down that success is scraping top 4 every few years. They are that negative that they think a league cup every 24 years is good. & that we shouldn’t expect more or deserve more. Can’t expect us to win as much as the likes of Woolwich. & we shouldn’t build a team around our worst of class forward. Instead the correct way is to not match the ambition of your all time top goalscorer & instead sell him so he can achieve it else where. Well I say no to this!
We & he could have achieved things here! The league is pretty open & weak last year & this year too. It’s there for the taking if only we had more belief, ambition & owners/chairman who were more competent on the football side.
City probably being punished & klopp leaving means this is where a team like ours should be capitalising & pouncing. Rather than being happy to scrape top 4 now & then.
Their loyalty to owners & levy is so misplaced that they would choose them over Kane like I predicted way before.
Also at this rate, one lifetime of enic is 3 league cups & nothing else. Surely we can do better than that!
Not bothered by a 86 year old businessman in USA. But bothered by any criticism of said 86 year old businessman in USA. HmmmYeah. Fine.
So why are you posting about it in a thread you rarely otherwise contribute to .
This actually looks pretty good. Not sure how much money it’ll make though:

We've booked our places for next week. I can't wait!
I can see it being a tourist attraction
Amazing how many people had been defending Lewis as somehow a moral character, well above other billionaires who make their money off other people.
I really wanna give the Karting a try, I love it and am pretty decent at it.
However, last few times I've been anywhere near a kart, I've felt and subsequently been horrifically sick.
Last time, at Buckmore park, I was screaming at the marshal to unbuckle my helmet so I could barf in the bush by the watchtower.

Buckmore Park is a fantastic circuit with some fairly fast Karts. Me and my mate won the 3hr endurance championship for a couple of years on the bounce........
Imagine being sick in your helmet
