Nottingham Forest is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Bell as its new Chief Operating Officer.

With over two decades of experience in sports marketing and an impressive track record in the football industry, Paul brings a wealth of expertise and a vast network of contacts to the club.

Paul joins Nottingham Forest following a successful tenure as Executive Director at Leeds United, where he spent seven years driving commercial growth and elevating the club's status both domestically and internationally.

During his time at Leeds United, Paul was instrumental in delivering record commercial revenues, leading the club back into the prestigious Deloitte Top 20 European Money League for the first time since the 2002/03 season.

Under Paul's leadership, the retail business at Leeds United became the fastest-growing in European football over a five-year period. He also facilitated major sponsorship agreements for the Yorkshire club, securing deals with renowned brands including adidas, SBOTOP, Hisense, JD Sports, Heineken, and EA Sports.

Paul’s impact extended beyond sponsorship, successfully delivering commercially-focused pre-season tours to Australia and Norway for Leeds United, as well as hosting a variety of international sports events and music concerts at Elland Road, including England Senior Men's and Women's team friendlies, Rugby League World Cup matches and World Championship Boxing.

Forest Chairman Tom Cartledge said: ”We are delighted to welcome Paul Bell to Nottingham Forest as our new Chief Operating Officer. His extensive experience, proven track record, and deep understanding of the football landscape make him the ideal candidate to drive our club's commercial growth and operational excellence.

“We look forward to leveraging his expertise as we further strengthen our senior team and redouble our efforts to drive the club's future success and growth, on and off the pitch.”

Oh boy, he‘s going to have his work cut out for him at Forest. Good luck on that score, you will need it Paul.

I assume that a COO is an alternative title to a CEO, which has been seemingly vacant since Mr Vrentzos returned to Greece?

When he quits in a few months, I'm assuming this will be the Bell End?

not really

The CEO usually oversees everything, basically the equivalent to the MD, then you'd have maybe a CFO for finance, and the COO is for operations, maybe a CIO for information, etc

So he'd manage the commercial side and be in charge of the football operations. I guess in effect Cartledge is the CEO and he'd report to him

His first job is to take the telly which EM put his foot through back to Currys and try to claim a refund.

Somewhere on page 15 of the to do list is fixing a decent cup of coffee for Strummer.

I actually think this is one of the easiest jobs in football. Forest are so far behind everybody else on matchday experiences, sponsorship and retail sales that just getting the club up to an average performance will be a genius level achievement.
