So the club cannot organise the 1st team squad ro be together for 1 day to habe a picture taken. All seems very odd, particularly when you remember 5 years ago the club had a picture taken of the 1st team, and virtually all of the clubs staff as well.
The press team did organise it but then the manager got sacked as Olly said.
It does show how far the club has slipped from being well run behind the scenes though.
This is a club that didn't give the players a date to return from training or injured players a rehab programme.
Maybe the CEO could have helped if she hadnt been too busy with her PR gurus and award ceremonies.
Very good point that, Henry. In a normal club I'd expect a PR team to be saying to the boss that a high quality team photo could help raise the profile of the club and helping to make sure that it happened, perhaps doing a bit of internal PR so that all those busy people understood that it was important to reserve the time to do it. Not at our messed-up outfit though. The PR people are too busy purging the internet and helping the boss wage war on supporters.

That's because KM is more interested in herself then the cloob
I'm amazed that it doesn't happen annually as a matter of course. Transfer window closes in August - first Monday in September (or whenever) is a recurring booking with the photographer. Can't believe it's that difficult to organise. I suppose it just takes rather more will power than Lazy Daisy's got.
You'd be surprised what a pain in the backside it is to arrange for a time when every member of the squad/staff can be available. We looked at getting it done in September but every date got turned down for one reason or another, be it players away on international duty, other events/appearences or appointments booked in after training. My preference is that we do it at the training ground on the same day as we do the players' headshots. Not as asthetically pleasing as The Valley, but gets the job done in good time and fully agree we should have a squad photo every season as a matter of course. That's something I'll be pushing for next season.
How lame is this? They all work for the club and there must be plenty of days when they are all together. The real reason is more likely that we don't have a settled squad at the start of the season because we are still recruiting the leftovers and by the time we are ready the manager's just been sacked.
