I wouldn’t call it outrage, it’s more annoying than anything. I get that gathering sponsors is a way for the club to increase funds, but every other day they are seeking sponsors.

It’s getting a little silly and repetitive now.

We’ll be collecting the rain water on the pitch this coming season and sell it off in shot glassess next.

No irony in the post when you’re on this forum asking for players to be signed every month like it’s football manager.

Try and raise funds or cut your cloth accordingly. Take your pick.

Hi all,

Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

The Club’s commercial strategy has been left wanting for such a long time, and unfortunately and devout of ideas. We literally have a sponsor for everything. That is not a strategy, that’s just ‘hit and hope’. I honestly do believe that this department of the club really does need shaking up.

I was at a BBQ the other weekend, and someone there works for a sportswear brand that pitched against Meyba during the last team wear partner procurement cycle. He didn’t go into too much detail about that because it’s not too professional of him to do so. He didn’t have many complimentary words to say about Matt, what’s his face, but waxed lyrical about the work Jamie Shipstone was doing behind the scenes. Anyway, to cut a long story short, he outlined a whole commercial strategy that made complete sense, which focused on local businesses and alternative revenue streams. If I get the opportunity to speak to him again, I’d like to share further because I do feel this club is a million miles away from where it should be commercially.

‘he outlined a whole commercial strategy…:

At a BBQ?

They are shaking it up there going to employ another sales executive at the cost of circa £50,000.

The club talk the talk about revenue streams but fail to come up with a regular stream, all we’ve had is a few ex sports player nights but with some other company running the show, 2 medium nights, 2 fun days, and of course a wreath making day. And a failed stadium Weekender, good idea imo tried to run before they could walk though should just have been for one night in the beginning.

They’ve got to except the ground is in a shitty location but they do have a restaurant the iron bar and executive lounge that could and should be utilized.
Nearly 3 years now under the current regime and they still haven’t come up with a use for the land next to Costa really needs something sorting.

There’s no chance that role is paying £50k a year, maybe half that with a bonus for performance on top…

[saleiron]

I don’t think we advertise what we pay for anyone, including bar staff and cleaners?

[alcazar]

Even if the pay is mediocre, with on-costs it’ll not be peanuts.

What’s he see in Tamworth that we don’t have?
Question: Are our current directors actively seeking new major investments, or is this, and unending sponsorship our lot?

Maybe he has family and/or business links to Tamworth?

[Awaywego]

No he doesn’t, was first involved with Truro last season buying 9% of the club.( Having to sell his stake now) Probably had a look and realised location was a problem for sustainable success, whereas Tamworth pretty much central.
I admire him taking on a little club if he gets success twill be all the more sweeter.
Owns Oklahoma united and trying to build a portfolio of football clubs.

[BigLeftToe]

You sure you’d all be happy with a 24 year old yank taking over our club?

[MK Iron]

If he pays the bills and keeps away from the football then even a Yank would do.

[Awaywego]

He’s said he’s going to be hands on.
So maybe not that yank.

Good news AWG, Manchester United Legends will play Scunny Legends at GP on 2nd August.

[Awaywego]

More than likely not for me, I’ll see who the first team play the day before obviously it will be away now.

Pathetic money making stunt rather than trying to push for a big side as a open new pitch finalee friendly ..
The old fat guys probably told to wear plimmies not damage the pitch ..
