Vinnyjag Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Pie Of The Month said: That statement about restructuring on the club website is horrific. "We're making folk redundant lads but it's alright because we'll put any savings into the playing budget" Unfortunate and sad that people have lost their jobs today, however it’s a reality of business that when revenue is reduced action needs to be taken and 9/10 times it results in people losing their jobs. For a football club the priority is maximising the player budget in order to turn around the fortunes of the football and thus generate more income. A reality of any business I’m afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redundancies are a reality of business. Statements trying to placate the customer base of a business by telling them that people losing their job will mean they can invest the savings in another part of the business do not need to be a reality of business. Sad to see there's supporters who are fine with this statement from our failed Tory candidate chairman. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anybody will quibble that a football club’s priority is the first team. But announcing that 7 out of 14 staff are leaving or have already left and adding in that essentially their wages will be used to buy new players is, to me, pretty grim. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I didn’t realise Jacqui Low had been a Tory candidate.I’m fully on board with taking any opportunity to hound her out the club going forward. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 On the plus side, it seems we have room for an "Analysis & Recruitment Operative". I assume that wage comes out the Playing Budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave.j Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Imagine any other Club got relegated. Went full in and kept their Premiership business model. Set a target of getting back to the Premiership in one season, sacked the manager because that didn't look achievable under his stewardship. Gave the new manager the same achievable target, a substantial budget which he only spent a third of, sent the failing playing squad on a weeks holiday and in doing so we ended up surviving in the second tier by the skin of their teeth. Resulting in the failed manager keeping his job but redundancies in the office and a greatly reduced budget to work with in the year ahead. We would be fuckin laughing like f**k at that club. Pissing our pants at such an embarrassing shambles they were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have you seen Jacqui ‘like’ fans’ tweets? Proper fan engagement. The club is being perfectly run, mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Watching the clips of the Q&A back I can absolutely see how folk would be taken in by Caldwell in that setting. I have to admit despite thinking his treatment of Doolan and Erskine was shocking he came across as a serious guy. Quite self-effacing in that setting too, which I think a lot of people, I suspect the senior players too, would have liked to have seen more of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even outside that appalling statement, it feels like there’s no long term strategy in anything she does; it’s all ‘in the moment’. It’s responding to one issue/person at a time to placate them, with no consideration of if it’ll have to be changed again or contradicted somewhere down the line. A couple of people have complained about being moved from their seats to accommodate Hearts fans? Quick, release a statement saying we'll keep the JHS red & yellow. It’s not cost effective? Scratch that plan a few games later and we’ll do exactly the opposite of what we’ve just told them, but talk about how much money we’ll save instead - they’ll love that! She’s been an absolute disaster. Her and Britton can get right in the fucking sea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Low has come across as a barely competent bullshitter with an overly high opinion of herself from day one. Communications have been an amateurish car crash throughout her reign yet that's supposed to be her strength. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
