lookersstandandy Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Shame. He's been excellent. Wish him all the best. I hope he's leaving on good terms and by his own volition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 As well as Sam, Simon Wood has relinquished his role. He was pretty stridently critical in some tweets, though I guess he has other interest too. A new chef appointed today. I make that17 in a month and a day, never mind the ones prior. Very quick, as this is his last weekend, and it's only just advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I wouldnt be surprised if he has a role that’s a step up. Good at his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Sam is on the up, has done a good job at BP. You won’t hear it. His tech skills are severely lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a kitchen in the main stand.... that’s where the players eat. The OEC has it own kitchen and Simon Wood only works/worked there on match days to feed paying customers? That was my understanding at least? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think so as he has indicated that next Saturday will be his last match at BP, from the responses, he is working to the end of the month. (We only have one home game this month).

Dave_Og Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Just as an aside I do find unusual names and their origins fascinating. I don't know whether to be fascinated by Rosbottom, as I have never heard of it before, or to assume it's a traditional OWTB mis-spelling.

One could argue this is the 1st sign of Abdallah having a Plan. Slowly slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
