I think this is a very good move. Burke's job was always too big a job for one man. Splitting it means Winstanley's focus is purely on recruitment, whereas Mullen can perform the administration / academy work.

Welcome on board and adds another Paul into our executive structure (Barber, Beirne & Mullen)

Think the most interesting thing is the widening of David Jones' remit from financial and board member to "overseeing the supporter services, facilities management and health and safety areas, and manage the club's relationship with catering partner, Sodexo". There is some serious changes going on!
