If you are paying absolute top dollar for a CEO, much higher than clubs who are deemed our main competitors yet actually have higher revenue a than us, then that CEO is expected to get things right when it comes to the most important side, the footballing part.
Nobody would care what he earned if we were sitting third, but we ain't we are bottom 6 so the club that he runs on a daily basis is failing. That is why the money he is paid is under scrutiny.

Correct also that if we were 3rd then this subject would probably have been more muted but the correlation between his own role/performances and salary has had an impact on Montgomerys management/signings and onfield performances and has rightly pissed off a lot of fans, especially since we pay a lot of our hard earned cash into the club
However Im still not going to get all het up and angry about it and being all shouty on here wont change things, they board could all run around Arthurs Seat naked wearing traffic cones on their heads for all I care, I just want a decent performance and a bit of passion on the pitch

I can't see any justification for his level of salary when you compare how poorly the footballing side has performed in his time with us.

The football could be better, but the man has done an amazing job in bringing money in, and that is about to go through the roof soon, with the plan to make us 3rd best regularly if they get that right.

To be on double what the others are on is madness.
I wonder what Celtic and Rangers pay theirs?

I’ve just asked this, but I wonder what Celtic and Rangers’ CEO’s are on.
He is making an absolute stealing with that wage.
He’s also failing miserably where it matters for 99% of the people that support the club.
He has absolutely identified areas to increase the cash flow but another one is on the pitch, and he has failed there.

BK's salary as a percentage of business turnover is likely to be the highest in the league. People can make their own decision on whether or not that's justified.

I saw a poster earlier referencing figures from 2018 and the most recent year and it wasn't close to double, more like a 10% increase in revenue.
Not being wide, just genuinely trying to get the facts.

I'd be very surprised if his remit is identical to a job with a market rate of £150k
It's something I'd like to know or understand though - and it's a legitimate question to ask
Not sure why some get so angry over it to be honest - makes me slightly uncomfortable

As per latest accounts:
Celtic’s CEO is on £750K but they bring in 10 times more revenue than us. So if he was paid at a rate that BK is, he’d be on what £3.2-3.5M?
Rangers highest paid director was paid £350K. Their revenue was 6.5 times what ours is. So again, if he was paid at the same rate as BK he’d be on £2.3M.
As you said, per turnover BK is undoubtedly on the highest salary in the league.
For me, he’s not justified that at all. In fact, for the wages (set against turnover) he receives, we should be sweeping up domestically, but that’s my opinion.
As a percentage of revenue the wages of the CEO’s are:
Hibs 2.9%
Celtic 0.6%
Rangers 0.4%Last edited by Alex Trager; 07-02-2024 at 07:23 AM.

I'm quite surprised at his salary. All the roles you see advertised by Hibs over the last few years look to pay an absolute pittance for what's involved. For example there was one looking for a permanent full time electrician (im sure) and the salary was something like £25k a year. I suppose the person at the top will always earn more but we don't look like very good payers in general.
Edit - it was actually £32k but some of the other ones are *****. Link below.

Our accounts to June 19’ show a top level turnover of £10.8m
Our latest accounts to June 23’ show turnover of £12.3m
He has not nearly doubled our turnover, it has increased by 14% - and expenditure looks out of control.
Whilst it’s probably fair to say our commercial income has risen by slightly more than 14% in this 3 year period, as CEO he is responsible for the running of the entire club. Diminishing prize money is on him too, as he continues to lurch from one footballing disaster to the next.
Guy needs emptied pronto

I believe kensell always wanted a DoF in place but was overruled in that
They admitted there errors and we now have a more sensible structure in the football side
You surely don't lay all the blame for our current poor form at the feet of the CEO do you?
This think we appointed him July 2021? So has had 21/22 and 22/23 seasons with this one being his 3rd

I lay most of the blame at his door aye, he runs the club so must surely be held responsible for it?
This is now our 3rd ***** season on the bounce under his watch, after Kensell and the Gordons dismantled the previous footballing setup which had us finish 3rd and be regulars in cup finals.
His salary being double our direct competitors is bizarre as well, potentially shows a naivety on the owners part IMO.

Asking whether a CEO is performing to a level consummate with their performance is not personal. It goes with the territory with these type of roles.

We just had another transfer window where the glaring deficiencies in defence were ignored again, and we still have a lightweight team with shrinking violets all over the park.
He wields far too much power for my liking, and I suspect any manager with an ounce of forceful personality will never get near the hotseat while the bold Benny boy is in charge.

It wouldn't surprise me if this season's turnover is similar to Hearts'.

I'm sure in December we were fourth and looking likely to go above hearts - I don't remember my posts then about structure
Since then of course on the park we have had a horrendous run of results - I don't see how that's all Ben Kensells fault though

However, the sporting performance is (or should be!) a major part of his remit. He has failed spectacularly on that front, with what looks like 3 poor managerial appointments.
