Our guest on Episode #70 of the TGG Podcast, in association with Teamworks Intelligence, is Simon Wilson.
Simon is the Chief Executive of Stockport County and one of the most experienced football leaders in the UK.
At Southampton, he was only the second full-time performance analyst in the country, before joining Manchester City in 2006.
His time there coincided with the new ownership of Sheikh Mansour and a period of complete transformation. Simon played a key role in this, first as Head of Analysis, then Strategy and Performance Manager and finally as Director of Football Services for the entire City Football Group.
In this latter role, Simon designed, built and delivered the club's global multi-club operation.
After a short spell as Chief Football Officer at Sunderland, Simon joined Stockport County in 2020 and has masterminded their climb through the divisions. In February 2025, he was promoted from Director of Football to Chief Executive.
In this Episode, Simon told us about his career journey, about his pivotal work at Manchester City and about Stockport's seven-year plan.
