Perhaps this could be merged with the off-field success thread...

If lack of time for the volunteers of the board is an issue then the majority of people would probably back employing someone to run the club on a day to day basis rather than paying piss poor players who don't make the match day squad most of the season. Not everything has to be done by volunteers.

It's just another example of poor handling of a situation by the club. I'm not one to rag on them but it's clear they're losing their way.

Yeah of course, GP could have done it in his spare time.

Or during the working week.

Like I said. Employ someone to run the day to day running of the club to deal with this sort of thing if it's too time consuming as a volunteer.

A full-time, professional football club should not be run on volunteers alone.

Exactly, yet another reason, this whole sorry event, why we need at least one professional businessman, full time, independent and an outsider to help the board. I accept that would cost say 50K p.a., maybe just under, maybe just over.

However I rather suspect that is less than the amount we have had to pay off managers and coaches with over the last couple of years given contractual issues and questionable appointments. It is certainly a small sum compared to the monies the club gained when we had a professional full time businessman, i.e. Don Bircham, involved running the club and helping out the board in terms of the sell on fees negotiated for Ward/Taylor/Moult.

It's not can we afford a professional CEO it can we afford not to have one as we lurch from one error to the next losing fans game by game. If the board had the best interests of the club at heart they'd accept they need help. It is the bigger man who admits that rather than who stumbles on totally out of his depth.

Wow just wow. This club could not get any more tinpot if we tried....run by a load of ego driven individuals, who have ideas well above their station.

Sad to see, really is.

He's admitted he's not even a fan. Time to ignore the troll.

Nail on head... excellent post. It does seem we have gone backwards since then.

I'll give you and Dix 6 posts before you respond, you can't help yourselves, you think it's your board.
You should try another hobby, like maybe attending games.
