Some attributes:
Too cautious
Getting value from a club when selling only causes the buying club to engage in the same negotiation style when buying from them. Like selling your house, it's only a good move when you've closed the gap on the next step up the ladder.
Foresight, his biggest weakness. He doesn't take the necessary risks that all businesses have to go through to establish themselves in the market.
Relationship with potential players. Many a player has turned us down and although wages are a reason (see too cautious) he obviously isn't inspiring the potential player enough or writing rewards in to their contract that they believe will come to fruition.
He doesn't communicate with the fans very well. In fact, he's gone as far as lie to the fans on several occasions.
The branding of wolves as a club and to it's fans is particularly amateurish. Although not his sole responsibility, he surely has a say in all matters wolves in the public eye.
He's been here too long. Everyone needs a fresh challenge whether that be a new role at the same company or a new position elsewhere.
He's fat. Now i'm firmly in the camp that fat people show a lack of self discipline and little respect for their body and their families future and security. If he can do this then why should he take wolves seriously?
He's paid too much.
His career history compared to his peers is below par. Ie- stoke and wolves combined.
He doesn't seem to understand football. Fine in itself but he needs to be able to judge others and appoint them on their football knowledge. He's failed several times.
The scouting network is quite poor especially compared to an albion type club. Again, not his sole responsibility but he should highlight this and make sure it is dramtically improved upon.
He doesn't learn from his mistakes.
He doesn't learn from other clubs successes or take enough interest to see the next wave of competition coming and plan accordingly Ie- albion and co with their transfer policy and Swansea and co with their football philosophy.
He treats the fans as cash cows.
He's part of a setup that has made history in being relegated twice in succession.
Time for Moxey to leave

DJ, why does it not surprise me that, yet again you have to disagree with me.
The definition may not mention the word finance, but it clearly states "making corporate decisions and managing the overall operations and resources of a company"
Now if the word resources doesn't relate to the finances of the club, maybe you could enlighten us all.
Yet another example of your continual pettiness and trying to critique anything I post on here.

DJ, instead of rubbishing everything I post on here. Please elaborate how it is, that you know so much about our club and try to clearly continue express your opinions as if they're coming from the 'horses mouth', so to speak.
Do you have some kind of inside information that you keep from us, or are you just someone who allegedly goes to all the games we play and therefore has the divine right to dominate what ever posters put up on here?
You seem to forget that we all love the Wolves, but if someone dares to go against the grain, you are the first to object to that and feel the need to inject and impose your idealogical input.
Get off your high horse and join the rest of us at our mediocre level and standards.

Stupid response. Why don't you just once try to react like an adult when people disagree with you instead of always making it into a pantomine

Wolfie, you say "we all love the Wolves", and that you're a Wolves fan.
I'm keen to understand this comment you made to me only a day or so ago:
comment by wolfieintheSunshineState (U16306)
"You still have some kind of grudge against me for wanting your manager sacked."

The Board is responsible for the major strategic decisions in most businesses and Moxey has some part in that as a board member. An important distinction to make is that Morgan has the final say as the owner.
The CEO is responsible for implementing the boards strategy or business plan and has operational responsibility for the entire business. So when the ticket office is useless then Moxey has the overall responsibility although this is devolved through senior and middle managers.
The accountant merely compiles the accounts and audits the finances with no responsibility for strategy or operational decisions. A bean counter.
Hope that helps.

Moxey controls how many are on the staff, so he's a human bean counter, I suppose, Roger.

Possibly Bute, although the board would set the budget and Moxey would recruit or remove staff within that budget.

Or more likely the Board would approve the budget that Moxey put to them

Very true DJ. Depends on the relative strengths of the board and the CEO. A board that merely rubber-stamps what the CEO puts in front of them is too weak and that is an unhealthy state of affairs for the business. It certainly appears that Morgan and Moxey make all the major decisions and most of the football ones have been awful.

I agree it shouldn't just be a rubber stamping exercise and they should be challenging whats put forward.
And yes Morgan and Moxey seem to be very much running the show. They certainly screwed up 3 successive managerial appointments but at least appear to have made a better choice this time around.
