Sweeping boardroom changes at Elland Road
By Laurence Kilgannon, Yorkshire Correspondent
GFH Capital has announced major changes in Leeds United's boardroom
structure and the departure of longstanding chief executive Shaun Harvey.
The Championship club has appointed Salah Nooruddin as chairman and David
Haigh, deputy chief executive of GFH Capital, as managing director.
Harvey, who has been chief executive since 2004, steps down from the role.
Haigh will become responsible for the day-to-day running of the club.
Salah Nooruddin, who moves up from his previous role as vice chairman, said:
"We are pleased to welcome David Haigh to his new role. He and I will
continue to work with the rest of the board, the management team, Brian
McDermott and his team to build the foundations on and off the pitch for a
successful future for Leeds United.
"At the same time we extend our thanks to Shaun for his services to the club
over the past nine years, Shaun will remain as a director of the club to
offer us his considerable footballing experience. He has always given strong
leadership to the football club in what have been often been challenging
times."
David Haigh added: "I look forward to my new role and continuing to work
with everyone at the club to help create, with the support of the owners,
the long term and sustainable success which Leeds United's great past
merits.
"We are at a time in the development of the club when we have to balance
immediate ambition against our long term strategy for success. We have an
excellent manager in Brian McDermott and I am confident that by working as a
team we can achieve our aims."
