    Not sure what fans want really a team that spends millions of don’t have so ever 3 years you are left wondering if you even a club with the debts built up of the structure we have now by taking it slowly building within our means .. and seeing a small improvement season after season …. I know which one I want my club to take

    More self promotion in case he needs to boost his CV?

    Amazing our comms can stretch to this but not get messaging out for the bag policy!
    Not sure why you’re taking your anger out on Rodwell. Absolutely it’s a concern and needs addressing but his role is to get things working on the pitch not off it  
    That’s not true, if his title (MD) is taken at face value. The club is a single business , revenue from fans supports the football side, so it falls under his remit with that title, and the salary that goes with it. And if not him, then who? 

    That said, he is far from unique in football. Its one of my big bugbears, whether they have the title MD or CEO, they don’t have the responsibilities and pressures of someone with those titles in a normal business of similar turnover. Yet they argue that their salary is benchmarked against the “wider market”. Its nonsense. None of them could do the MD or CEO job in a mid sized consumer goods company.

    It looks to me like he is actually doing a decent job on the football side, and I think he attracts flak because he clearly spends a lot of his salary on his appearance - he will probably argue its necessary in the role. But somebody competent needs to take charge of the consumer -facing part of the club.
    Since Rodwell has come in he’s always been working on the footballing operations and clearly has a huge role in liaising with the ownership + recruitment, it does need looking at but he wouldn’t be able to do his job as effectively if he would have to also deal with complaints or commercialisation aspects as well. It does need looking at but personally think that’s more of a job for someone in a financial role than a footballing role 
    Difficult to see his ‘football’ tasks are really full time all the time. 
    I’m not gonna pretend I know what it takes to have a hierarchy role in football, but the fact I’ve never heard anyone in football describe their job as easy or straightforward is probably very telling. The ownership board got rid of Scott and Methven but have kept Rodwell on to me that at least shows they’re happy on what he’s doing.
    Or that he’s better at managing them.

    I wonder who would be the spokesperson to address the off field issues that are beginning to seriously concern and affect the regular supporters ? 

    In fact, do we know the names of ANY of the departmental Senior Managers these days?

    A cloak of secrecy envelops The Valley.....All for one & one for all or stick your head over the parapet only if threatened with the red card ? 

    For the past two seasons I thought that supporters have been appointed as a point of contact for off the field issues that the fans want to address.
    If correct, have there been meetings?
    I messaged the fan advocate account on twitter about the club shop shambles and they asked me to email them and they will help out, I’ve sent two emails and not heard a word back in nearly two weeks. Chocolate teapot comes to mind. 
    I’ve copied them in before on a different matter and had Jack shit in response. #notfitforpurpose
    Put together the catering, the bag drop, Valley Express & overpriced matchday ticket issues - all concerning for those who pay their hard earned & expect a satisfactory matchday experience - and ask yourself if "they who make the decisions" are happy to have numerous fan groups, volunteers and even a paid fan advocate/adviser or two tasked with liaising with supporters, how much notice is taken of said feedback when it comes to decision making time?

    Are these merely tick box exercises & every time, those decisions are made 99% based on budget NOT on the concerns of loyal "customers".

    How can the OS display contact details for supporters when emails are not responded to as appears to be a common theme ?

    And how much importance do "they"actually give to CAST 's input? 

    Such paths which claim to be a clear link between club & fans to bring them closer together are not fit for purpose  on the whole IMO. 

    Call me a cynic but fine words butter no parsnips.  

    But there is ONE positive at this moment in time.

    The advent of the lauded Membership Scheme has been shelved pro tem....Just think what a fiasco that might have been !  B)
    Just to say that, as a paid up member of CAST, I have an update on the subject of communication between their Board & whoever is holding the reins at our club.

    If it's of interest I've put it up on the Club is for Sale again thread.
