If you want to attract\retain the best talent this isn’t the way to go about it.
It’s the small things that count. Keohane wouldn’t have a clue though as he’s never been in a senior management position before. He’s pissing away all the good work the academy staff have done over the years.12 -
My work don't pay for me to get a free breakfast. How much are these lads gonna be on? Just have breakfast at home.paulie8290 said:Any idea how much that costs, surely we can all put some money to make sure the young lads get it.
Soneone set up a just giving page, show the young lads us fans care2 -
I did wonder what Roland was busy doing whilst throwing a tantrum at the Valley the other week. A billionaire cancelling kids breakfasts. When they get poached I wonder what excuses they will use? Penny pinching billionaire? Absolutely pathetic but hardly a surprise. We are seeing him in his true light since the start when he flogged Stephen's and Kermogant.6

We may have laughed at Slade and his pride in introducing table cloths to the players' dining room, but at least he was recognising the important potential of eating together as a way of contributing towards good team spirit.
Would we prefer our youngsters to eat a nutritionally balanced breakfast together, setting good habits for their future lives as professional sportsmen, and helping them achieve and maintain peak fitness, or are we happy for them to consume some fast-food rubbish on the hoof on their way to training?
Long term, this cutback - if the rumour is true - is the epitome of "penny wise pound foolish", and screams lack of intelligent foresight.20 -
Schools provide breakfast club for children in the situation of not getting one at home, in these days of the general public expecting too much it's a basic requirement.Covered End said:It's not good, but let's be honest, if the young men were at school, uni or work, I don't think they would be getting a free breakfast.
Especially if said school, uni or business were losing £10M pa.
Sorry, to piss on your corn flakes.1 -

I think this is a disgrace and is a very media friendly disgrace too. We should seek to make the most of it.
The most important issue is what Airman has referred to, the importance of diet, especially with kids who are still growing. As it is, English football has been slow to catch up with the importance of this.

Well, a good place to start would be a comparison with the "perks" available at Melexis. A stark difference there I think.PragueAddick said:I think this is a disgrace and is a very media friendly disgrace too. We should seek to make the most of it.

It seems staff in Belgium get just about everything either free or at a discount - including a food allowance.
Does anyone know how Glass Door works? Is it possible to do a "Trip Advisor"?4 -
What has Kehone done other than overseeing a trench being dug in Eltham. Get rid of him and the money saved on his wages pays for some breakfasts.

This is the key thing for me. Our academy is an outstanding success. If they are taking food away you can imagine that budget for other aspects like equipment will equally fall through the floor. The inevitable is that our best coaches, scouts move elsewhere and the production line of,talent, that has incredibly brought that Belgian nightmare about £25m of income, grinds to a halt.Brendan_O_Connell said:If you want to attract\retain the best talent this isn’t the way to go about it.

Didn't they scrap the breakfast for all the staff on matchdays too? Must have been nice for everybody who'd been at the ground since first thing to see Daisy rock up just in time for her free lunch.0

Of all the things to cut this does seem petty.
I’ve no doubt it stems from Roland ultimately setting a budget but it’s management who I suspect have made the decision where to cut.1 -

He couldn't afford my breakfasts. Even if he could I wouldn't expect him to pay for them just because he pays for the breakfasts of more important people than me.Scoham said:

Anyone know what other cuts have been imposed? Has there been another round of redundancies imposed on the staff?0

Roland has always been pennywise pound foolish. Obviouly, he doesn't care about their progression/future as he won't be here. If the staff have been told to slash costs to try and reduce a £10M pa loss, then that's what will happen. Mind you as fans we can't have it both ways. Complaining about the masive debt he is wracking up & then moaning when he takes action to try and reduce the annual losses. Obviously, this shouldn't be viewed in isolation. Let's hope the takeover happens soon.N01R4M said:We may have laughed at Slade and his pride in introducing table cloths to the players' dining room, but at least he was recognising the important potential of eating together as a way of contributing towards good team spirit.

CE there are ways of cutting costs that don't reduce us to even more of a laughing stock than cutting the breakfasts surely?
This is yet another shameful embarrassment.
First home game a ninja squad of fans ought to invade the boardroom with doggie bags and liberate the food for the players.
Perhaps we could set up a food bank outside the stadium for breakfast food donations, would garner publicity.
This news really does make us Charlton Pathetic.2 -
The issue is this actually won't actually save anything meaningful, the same staff are there serving as normal for the first team. This certainly won't slash costs. Better buying , outsourcing , rates, additional ways to bring revenue , that's what they need. The management as has been quoted elsewhere are out of their depth and have no clue how to manage costs.Covered End said:

Glass door is very similair to TripAdvisor. Workers leave anonymous reviews of companies they have/do work at. The idea being any one who's got an oppurtunity to work at that company get a feel before it before deciding to accept a job offer.cafcfan said:

Once again club penny pinching but being pound stupid. Roland’s regime in a nutshell.0

TripAdvisor have reopened 'Write a review' for Hotel Stayen. I wonder if they do free breakfasts.2
