Some figures are noticeable in their absence from the thanking.
April 4, 2025 at 6:23 pm #301645If you’re going to go out in a blaze of glory, be classy about it. Well done ML.
April 4, 2025 at 6:36 pm #301646Interesting statement

April 4, 2025 at 6:57 pm #301647It’s the ‘clear directive that became noticeable a number of months ago’, the praise for Michelle and Roj, the total absence of thanks or praise for AchingHead, Sharp and CEO Roberts, and the bit on James Moody fighting the Merch Labs corner to the very end. That all suggests to me that there is huge tension and massive internal difficulty at the Club. Can we read into this, on top of Smoking Goat’s comments about Sharp, that the problems are now not just confined to the boardroom and the two factions power-pissing in there? Has the whole place gone toxic again?

I don’t like this because I think it could be right on the money.
April 4, 2025 at 7:05 pm #301650Their treatment of people is beyond contempt.
Still Cass will be along soon telling us about how the board are still doing wonders.
Not good PR, not a good luck, don’t they realize that other companies can see all their dirty washing, hardly a “come and invest and support us” but then again shouldn’t think their bothered.

They might be working wonders – time will surely tell. It’s the apparently brutal manner in which they’re working them that’s concerning.

I don’t think this is entirely fair as this is looking more and more like the board isn’t working as one. A darkside and a benevolent.
April 4, 2025 at 7:18 pm #301657About time two showed some balls and resign from the board then.
April 4, 2025 at 7:21 pm #301658I’m not sure if resigning and leaving it with complete control of the people who appear to be causing the issues will do us good. They will have no chance of being disagreed with then.

Yeah, but they held hands on the pitch that time!
April 4, 2025 at 7:22 pm #301660Michelle needs a couple of forklifts to move hers, MASSIVE.
April 4, 2025 at 7:24 pm #301663If two resign, whichever two, we’re about fucked.

April 4, 2025 at 7:36 pm #301667I’d question them going public the night before a game, but can understand their grievances too.
April 4, 2025 at 7:40 pm #301669They’ve gone public when it has happened to them, I’d question the club doing it before the end of the season.

April 4, 2025 at 7:44 pm #301670That’s it siderite, it would be a show of strength leaving them diddly dongs in charge.
Would go down great at the next home game if they showed up.Surely it can’t carry on like this.
Ps, did everyone notice how many were working in the club shop who were thanked 4 yes 4.
How can a NLN team run with that ffs. Cut the cloth for where we are.April 4, 2025 at 7:52 pm #301674Ps, did everyone notice how many were working in the club shop who were thanked 4 yes 4.
How can a NLN team run with that ffs. Cut the cloth for where we are.Are they all full time? Or perhaps they are part time or job share? Adding up to whole time equivalents.
Basing staffing levels purely on the league level isn’t sensible. You also have to cater for the volume of punters you have coming through the door / online orders.
Less staff could lead to loss of income as you can’t meet demand.
April 4, 2025 at 8:00 pm #301675Cant say this season but every time I went in for tickets last season there were always 4 in the shop, I remarked about it at the time.
So that says full-time to me.April 4, 2025 at 8:06 pm #301678Cant say this season but every time I went in for tickets last season there were always 4 in the shop, I remarked about it at the time.
So that says full-time to me.I’ve been down loads of times and never seen anyone except Andy Brown mooching about on his own.
April 4, 2025 at 8:14 pm #301680FYI
Sue and Sarah both part time covering mon tues thurs fri and match days
Adam is match days and holiday cover
Lindsey has a full time job outside of SUFC and supports on match days and has done a lot of work volunteering so if she was seen during the week it was on her annual leave from her full time job3 users thanked author for this post.

So that says full-time to me.I don’t think seeing four staff members in the same place at the same time is evidence of full time contracts.

April 4, 2025 at 8:29 pm #301683Nearly went a full week without a sideshow; feel sorry for Andy and the players who must be wondering what else is around the corner.
It’s the timing the board chooses to make these decisions which is the sickener, why couldn’t Goat/Merch labs be given the boot at the end of the year? Why was the FC100000 planned to be announced 6 weeks before the season end? Why has a festival been announced with 3 month notice ?
Some odd decisions/timings and all doesn’t appear well.

Hopefully they’re immune to all this and focusing on their jobs in hand?

April 4, 2025 at 9:43 pm #301696Sharp is no good for the club and neither is his mate, the useless C.E.O Roberts. All the falling-outs which have been going on lately, one name always crops up, A certain Mr Sharp.

If Sharp and Aitkenhead are pushed out, where does their share of our costs come from in the immediate future?

April 4, 2025 at 9:55 pm #301701That’s the issue. Biker boy has to be given a stern talking to or more though.
