Dangerfield gone. Back to winning ways. Just saying. 😉11

What skills are actually needed to be a good club secretary?
Dont get me wrong, I’m sure whatever the skillset is, Chris Parkes obviously has it and he deserves respect for his past service and for stepping in now.
But what made him a good CS and how do you identify someone with the same skills to take the role moving forward?0 -
To be fair he was driving the coach and stopped off in ManchesterCrusty54 said:
He was previously head of operations for the Brentford Academy before they closed it down.Kindoncasella said:
He had a club secretary role before didn't he? Things may be a bit more complicated at our level but i'm sure its not rocket science.lolwray said:
It was patently obvious from his background that his experience wasn't up to it .Just seemed to me that his cv landed (fortunately or unfortunately)on TS desk and that's how he got the job.A prime of the previous owner thinking he knew bestSwisdom said:Out of interest I’m wondering why there is a bit of a pile-on for Ron?
nobody knew him but everyone seems keen to criticise him. Now it seems he has lost his job and it appears nobody seems to give a shit
did he personally sleight some of the people in here or am I missing something
He lives in Essex and took a local job after this.
Some people on here blaming him for a coach journey taking over 4 hours because of traffic is ridiculous.1 -
In the last 3 games, he's clearly been handing the ref the wrong team sheetStig said:Dangerfield gone. Back to winning ways. Just saying. 😉

Was he? Brentford sources suggested his role there was exaggerated by Charlton.Crusty54 said:

Attention to detail, multi-tasking, planning, understanding complex regulations, dealing with demands from multiple parties eg managers, directors, players, EFL, FA other clubs, comms team, sending faxes.lordromford said:What skills are actually needed to be a good club secretary?

You probably recruit from another league club

Unhackable i believe. I think i read they're one of the most secure methods of comms unless im misremembering/ talking nonsense which is probable.0 -
Also massively unlikely for a whole fax network to go down but email servers drop out pretty regularly. If our email server went down on deadline day and we couldn’t make signings we wanted it would be chaos1

Probably because nobody has tried, given they haven't been used for decades (only by the FA and HMRC!)RodneyCharltonTrotta said:Henry Irving said:

Absolutely correct. Not the talking nonsense bit, I should add. What you say is exactly the reason why they use fax.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:Henry Irving said:

I believe (happy to be corrected) that a fax is the only form of contractual document that can be signed, sent and accepted as a legally binding document ?
We scan and send signed agreements by the dozen in my work every day.0 -
Many years ago I was working for a computer firm in Basingstoke where one of guys developed some software that allowed a Mac computer to send and receive faxes.0

Is this the most boring thread ever?4
