Does it matter if 80 questions come in one email or separately in 80 emails? Whats the difference?



You will see from the very detailed responses from operational board members the amount of time and effort taken to answer questions fully. However we received a small number of emails with a very large list of questions, for example, one supporter sent a list of 80 questions, given the time it has taken to answer the questions submitted it has not been possible at this time to answer the small number of emails with such large multiple numbers of questions.

Exactly. Who cares where the questions are coming from, they are all just the same, a question. Given that they're more probing it's no suprise they're not going to respond to them "at this time".

I think it's on copy and paste at this moment in time.

Yeah I saw that, the questions won't go away though. If I have to print them off and put them up around the racecourse then so be it. If it requires press support to get the questions answered then so be it. If I have to find 80 people willing to put their name to each question then so be it as well. The 81 questions are not from one supporter they're from a number of us. By putting them all together as one submission the club was saved the time and effort of having to sift through the same questions over and over again.

One telling difference is the choice of question though, the club preferring this question:

"Whilst I appreciate that Dixie McNeil has is a club legend and has done a lot for the club, what attributes and skills does he have to add to the current board of directors?"

As opposed to:

"What exactly is Dixie McNeil's role as a board member and was there a thorough search to find someone that meets the skillset needed for the role? Why was Dixie McNeil selected over other suitable candidates?"

What a load of drivel.

" This can vary from Director to Director and the amount of activity under-way at any one time. However it is fair to say that each Director gives up several evenings a week, plus meetings and activities around weekends as well as taking annual leave from paid employment to complete work for Wrexham AFC at the Racecourse. The bandwidth of time per week runs between 10hrs per week to 40hours+ depending on any particular week and if a Director has taken time off work to run the business."

Yep sounds like we need an actual paid professional to run the club if someone needs to do 40hrs a week on top of their day job.

Doing that amount of hours in addition to a day job you'd wonder how effective they are at the role? They must be permanently exhausted.

I do love “ a bandwidth of time”, don’t you? Head office type fashionable bullsh*t terminology. Is Ricky Gervais on the board?

[redinsaudi]

It’s a big love in with a group-jerking, ego-stroking stench to it. All of them drooling over their own qualifications/experience et al. Well I’m sorry to burst the bubble but ANYWHERE else you would have been sacked for gross incompetence!!! Put that in your collective back pats agenda.

[Ruabon Red]

I don't believe abuse is the way forward, it won't get us anywhere.

However, whilst I welcome communications from the board(s), I'm a believer in communication tailored to its audience. Taking questions in turn, including posters first names in responses, using phrases such as `bandwidth of time' smack of authors who have a different view.
