Tool of the marketing mix, young man, but I think we better stop this.Airman Brown said:
You're confusing marketing with advertising, old boy.PragueAddick said:
That is funny, I could have sworn that in 1994 you still thought marketing was the devil's work, conducted by dilettantes driving black Beamers . One of us is re-writing history :-)Airman Brown said:
I think DRF is much closer to the truth re training. From a personal perspective I was involved in the marketing aspect from at least 1994, while still on the Mercury, and arguably before we went back to The Valley. Obviously I did gain relevant experience while working at the club.PragueAddick said:
The "job he had" grew over time to be a marketing role, for which journalists are definitely not qualified. Nor does 'training' necessarily mean sending people off on loads of courses. It alos means having a boss who spots your potential, is prepared to give of his own time to help you realise that, because the result is good for the whole company.DRF said:
TBH I think that's a rather romanticised view of the CAFC world back then. Lets not forget Rick was a journalist and was qualified for the job he had. Unless you worked for the club I don't think you really know that they were brilliant providers of training and valued all their staff. Let us not forget they made people redundant and lost money.
You have pointed out ad nauseam that in later years things went wrong, which was why I was careful to refer to ten years. Let us say from 1994, by which time various ex fans were working for the club. Ten years is still a long time in a football club. I suppose even you wouldn't dispute that the period 1994-2004 were a period of unprecedented development and all round feel-good factor for CAFC?
I'm not going to say too much about yesterday, except thanks for the good wishes and support. I'm not going to answer any questions, I'm afraid. But I have read what's been said with interest and for better or worse you can rest assured that I will continue to write about the club.
Never mind. The main thing is that hopefully you are satisfied with the outcome of yesterday

Where will the accountants hide the legal cost and settlement in the accounts?0

A very humane and sensitive response. I can't help but think that the whole process must have been enormously draining for Rick and his family, whilst the people who have caused it all still don't give a monkeys. The sooner these nasty people are gone, the better for everyone.

No Insurer worth their salt would write a policy like that for a company with TJ on the board. And even if they did, I doubt we'd have been able to pay the premium......stop shouting said:Charlton will have EPLI cover. If for example RE got a £50k settlement & Charlton had a £10k excess, then the insurance company will have picked up the remaining £40k. The settlement would have been sanctioned by the insurance company, not Charlton. The expensive QC's tab would also likely to have been picked up by the insurer depending on whether Charltons' excess was cost inclusive or in addition to the excess. Therefore, the cost to the club itself would have been limited to the amount of the excess which I guestimate to be between £10k & £25k. Those of you expecting to read some scandal in the next VOTV. Forget it, unless RE is prepared to pay every penny of his settlement back. The settlement would be confidential with no admission of liability by the club.

Would hazard a guess that Companies House will have a bit of name swapping to do once turnover hits near the full accounts ceiling. Merely a theory, never seen it happen before...
