Bristol City Announce Key Boardroom Changes

Bristol City Football Club have announced important boardroom changes at Ashton Gate that are linked to the business structure and responsibilities of the club’s executive team.

Former Managing Director Jon Lansdow will become the League One club’s Vice Chairman to current Chairman Keith Dawe.

The Chief Executive role has been taken up by Doug Harman, healing with Ernie Arathoon completing the four-man board as a Non-Executive Director.

Dawe said: “The club has gone through a significant period of adjustment and rationalisation over the last few months.

“As a result a number of changes have been made at Board level affecting key areas of the business.

“Jon Lansdown moves to become Vice Chairman and Doug Harman becomes the club’s Chief Executive with immediate effect.

“Doug will take overall responsibility for football and our Academy, story as well as the commercial, financial and operational aspects of our business.

“In addition, Ernie Arathoon is a welcome and recent addition to the Board as a Non-Executive Director.”

Current Sheffield Wednesday employee John Pelling has been appointed as the new Academy Director of Operations, whilst Development Director Guy Price will leave at the end of the month.
