[bbctitle]Julian Winter: Former Sheffield United CEO joins Magpies [/bbctitle][bbctext='http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/62804000/jpg/_62804182_62803262.jpg']Notts County have appointed Julian Winter as chief executive officer.

Winter, who has held similar roles at Sheffield United and Watford, replaces Aileen Trew who stood down in August.

He said: "I have a broad experience within football and within the Football League that I will be looking to bring to Meadow Lane.

"Notts County is an impressive club, which is steeped in history and tradition, and everyone here is pulling towards promotion to League One."

Winter left Huddersfield for Sheffield United as a player in 1989, but sustained career-ending ligament damage just a week before the season started.

He went on to work for Grimsby and Watford before two separate spells as chief executive of the Blades.

Notts County chairman Ray Trew added: "The work Julian has done at the previous football clubs has been at has been very impressive and everyone at the football club is delighted to have Julian on board." [/bbctext]

Sounds like he's got some good experience in football, hopefully a good appointment.

at least one person behind the scenes will have football knowledge then

Good pedigree in the game so I'm hopeful about this one. Lets hope his first task isn't to appoint a new manager. Then again if it is Nigel Clough gets on well with him!

well least he knows a good manager hopefully in telling ya lose tonite and Sunday the kop will be onto Ricardo like a flash

Sounds like a good appointment with plenty of experience, good luck to him.

I wish him all the very best, I certainly think it's a great appointment and I really think @[member="RayTrew"] did well here.

Welcome to Meadow Lane Mr Winter, I hope as the CEO you enjoy your new role at our club.
