You're right, they're big boots and I hope whoever does come in continues Jason's approach with the fans @Fan of Big Tone.

It would be highly advantageous for the club if one of the brothers could become more engaged. Despite their busy schedules and management responsibilities, collaborating with an experienced CEO would offer valuable insight. I'm not suggesting the Reedtz are only partially involved, not at all. They are good at making decisions, but having more hands-on experience in running the club would be beneficial for the club.

Whoever comes in, I hope they get behind the fans and tries to just get an understanding of Notts from the perspective of how the club is progressing.

I hope the new CEO is someone with a kind personality who is also business-focused. Ideally, they should have connections and be well-respected. The CEO must be carefully chosen, much like the manager. The wrong appointment could cause issues behind the scenes if they come in wanting things their way.

I trust the Reedtz to bring in someone sensible. It would be nice if they have a pre-existing connection to the club, but that does seem unlikely. Whoever comes in will have to talk to people about Jason, just to get an idea of how much he meant to everyone.

Whoever takes over the position will not have much time to get to grips with the job. Thankfully, the club operates quite effectively, which should make the transition easier.

If the individual in question demonstrates even half the level of concern that Jason Turner did and is able to establish a similar rapport with the players and staff, then we will have found someone capable of carrying on his legacy.

Whoever comes in will be held to a high standard, but I hope whoever it is continues Jason Turner’s good work. The club needs an active CEO. Some might wish for the position to be retired in honour, but I think the best way is to hire someone who can complete what Jace started.

its a difficult job, which needs a lot of hands on experience and i would hope the board chooses someone who has a good reputation in the game. i would prefer someone unconnected to the club, because sometimes that can get in the way of real progress behind the scenes.

We won’t know what the CEO is really like, but I hope they are good with PR and can write supportive updates to get the fans onside. Jason Turner was very good with his communication; it felt personal and directed at you.

The CEO just helps with the daily running of the club; the chairman(s) are actively involved but the CEO reduces their workload. The Reedtz brothers will find someone they like, who is hardworking and will lead the club by example.

The CEO role is very important; I would imagine the Reedtz have spoken to a few names already but have wanted to give grieving time with the loss of Jason Turner. I would be surprised if we don’t hear of news within a few weeks, what with things starting to progress.

I don't really agree with @Chris that the brother's need to be more hands-on. Until now they've set (and stuck to) a strategic direction, brought competent people in who can make it a reality and left them to do their job. It's been a recipe for success so far.

I'm sure they'll find an experienced football administrator who fits the ethos of the club and is a good communicator with staff and fans alike.

We can't always agree.  

My reasoning is that when they arrived, they knew nothing about the running of a club and I remember the early statements by them and Jason Turner.

In which they said as much, how keen they were about being involved in the clubs operations.

Losing Jace is a big thing, I am sure the brothers as co-owners has been heavily involved but probably not so much in the daily running of the club. Christoffer Reedtz as the chairman, I would've thought would it would be a good idea if he was around picking up further experience and ensuring that the club continues the path outlined by the board. I didn't quite say, that both need to involved as a must. Yet for me, it would be beneficial because within those 4 years, I am sure things have been picked up.

As successful business owners, they wouldn't overstep their mark but ensure that what is existing continues because it's that what has helped to bring success. 

Just like a new manager, philosophies change and I believe it would be good personally.

Whoever comes in wasn't around two previous owners, nor will every effort it has taken to rebuild the solid foundations. I am sure we will find someone who will do the CEO role just fine, if they decide to keep things the way it is - so be it. None of us know how active either of the Reedtz brothers are, but I do know that they're responsible for a lot of the turn in clubs fortunes no matter who they give credit too. 

Like others, I think the club will appoint the right person. I can’t see them allowing someone in without carefully considering what they want to do. If they come in and start slow, the new CEO will pick things up.

The CEO that comes in will need to slowly implement their own ideas rather than thinking everything needs to change. I can see what @Chris is saying and to a degree, I think he’s right that the brothers need to be aware of what somebody new into an environment is like. I am sure they will appoint the right person.
