Posted to Rob & A&C yesterday that Kline was leaving, didn't know how long it would take to come out but it's been coming for some time now.

If the club aren't unhappy that he is leaving (and was disliked as has been reported), presumably this is a very important role for the club and for Levy. I would hope they are headhunting for a top replacement chief commercial officer

Losing Kane is bad, but it's even more gutting when you lose the commercial officer that you've only heard of him for the first time in the announcement that he's left.

I'm assuming he was asked to resign, given that he's failed miserably at his most important task. He should fit in very nicely at Chelsea.

He did a pretty good job as Commercial revenue has rocketed under his watch.
pretty sure there were opportunities for a naming rights deal but they were not seen as right for us by the Board.
Not happy that it looks like he is going to Chelsea mind!.

Especially when you think of the great deal he got us on the stadium sponsorship.

At Chelsea there could be problems for Kline with naming rights unless a completely new stadium was built , the Chelsea Pitch Owners PLC might object to Stamford Bridge name being changed . Stadium names like Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford , Anfield, Villa Park etc are part of football club heritage pretty sure many fans of those clubs would object to any name changes.
