Walking Down The Halbeath Road


Recommended Posts

I just don’t see how they can justify him staying after their statement was pretty clear that the manner of the relegation was displeasing.  Now that’s all on Hughes.   Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I suspect our new CEO fresh from Celtic, Man City and Notts Forest, isn’t that impressed by seeing 3 defeats and a draw in last 4 games, all with negative football.  Cook, in his first interview, spoke about how he trebled season tickets at Forest.  He will know fine well that keeping Hughes in charge (regardless of whether it would be the right decision or not) will result in disastrous season ticket sales and therefore smaller budget for the season.

Im clinging onto the hope the reason its taking a bit longer, is because there is a huge restructure underway which dictates why it’s taking that time.

 

Its the hope that kills you. 😶

If Hughes stays Cook will third the season ticket sales.

Not to sound like an attention-seeking ‘itk’ w**k but apparently a lot of staff at the club heard that Hughes is staying yesterday when they were in the club office.
I thoroughly hope this rumour is proven to be absolute pish. But the longer the silence from the board continues, the more scared and likely to believe this stuff I get.
This has actually put me in a foul mood [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Genuinely be lucky to shift 800 ST’s if they keep that clown. An incredible own goal if they don’t do the right thing.

How’s the maths look? What’s the cost to launch Yogi versus losing X ST’s times their net value? It’s easy to say keeping Yogi would cost us say 800 ST’s times maybe £300 per, so that £240,000, but the money from ST sales isn’t all gravy. It is true, however, that the net income from a single ST sale is probably much smaller as the total number drop versus when they climb.

In the end, the new CEO has to take a hard look at the value both ways. Maybe the plan is to keep Yogi around until ST sales are about to start and punt him then. It makes no sense from a team building perspective, but it would potentially supercharge ST sales…and cash is king.

A sacking of Hughes alone would super charge ST sales. Then appoint a manager the fans believe in will boost them again. The earlier its done the easier for any new manager to decide who they want to keep and get new players in. This would again help with sales.

Holding off as you suggest would be pointless and harm the teams chances.

Are ST’s available yet though? I agree in principle.

Sponsorship will be affected if he stays, as surely some sponsors either won't think it's worth it for such low crowds or won't want to pay as much for such low crowds.

Think you’ve just answered your own question there. Make no sense to hold off sacking the manager and waiting for the right time. If you decide you’re going to sack someone, you do it when you’ve decided that’s what’s best. It’d also be daft to wait weeks to sack him whilst other clubs are appointing new managers and making signings.

The Club need to announce it very soon, if he is going. Cook et al said their focus is on rebuilding relationships with the fans, keeping us all waited in announcing how our coaching and playing staff looks for next season won’t help that one bit.

If they keep Hughes then that midweek statement will join a long list of bizzare actions by our board.

It was a damning assessment of the end to our season, showed no support for the manager and promised change. If the then keep one of  the biggest problems at the club then it will be a complete piss take and insult to the fans.
