I'm sorry I mentioned Jenny, she moved 18 months ago, I thought she still did some Commercial work. 

She does - just for the OEC ?

Reassuring to know the commercial dept is running efficiently maximizing income. 

Has it ever been any different?

No offence Buckshaw, but why only you being told?

It clearly states he is the Commercial Manager.

But none of us know. More questions than answers.

 

Simon is clearly a man of integrity, but he has put himself in a difficult position. I am not accusing him, just trying to find out what, when etc

Why is there no Commercial Dept? Did AL get rid of Luke Foster and Billy Quarmby, and Jenny move to OEC with a view to saving money by only replacing them with Simon and an Apprentice?

Luke Foster left in Sept 2017. around the time AL first came to prominence. Has Simon been working for Commercial since then? We were not told why Simon was spending a day a week at the club, but it was inferred it was on Trust business  It then transpired he was being left out of the loop.

Simon, as a Trust Director has a duty to inform the Trust of any POSSIBLE conflicts, not wait for them to happen. I'm astounded his fellow Trust members are in the dark about his Commercial activities,

 

Hypothetically, Simon could have signed a deal that meant OAFC was short £500,000 expected income that was expected to cover Menigs wages. Is his primary duty to inform the Trust first or AL? He might decide not to tell the Trust.

 

Too many are saying don't ask awkward questions, which experience says ask even more.

I genuinely don’t know - I’ve. It not been told anything as some sort of in the know guy - I just pass on what I hear. I do know Jenny left the commercial dept years ago and is now only part of the OEC, Luke Foster left after selling the grand total of fuck all and Billy as left recently in unknown circumstances but looks to have just moved on

Unless there is another Simon Brooke the official club website says he is the Commercial Manager, a quick text should clear it up one way or the other.

To be fair the same website had Sheridan listed as manager till about 6 months after he’d left ?

Thanks Tracy.

I'm uncomfortable with it to be honest. 

I’ve been told he’s been helping out in an unpaid capacity as there is currently no commercial department at the club.

Another player who thinks he's too good for Division 2 when in fact he's not even good for Division 1. If he wants out then we should let him go we don't want these players who think they are gods gift to football and the club

Or knows he’s been completely found out and is going back to a level he knows he will look like gods gift

absolutely shite every time I saw him and claiming that goal was criminal

Is he Commercial Manager or not?

Im led to believe he has been helping as there is currently no commercial department at the club. From what I’ve been told he does not have a contract or being paid

What worries me is that the timing of RW’s sacking would usually lead me to believe we’ve the successor already lined up. 

 

But the implication that Clark was sounded out but isn’t interested leads me to believe we absolutely don’t. 

 

Bit of a soap opera, Latics. 

Where viable has it been stated he’s been sounded out or not interested?

i agree Sinnott usually spot on but all he’s said is he had a meeting with AL - Clarkr is the team captain and an employee - hardly sensational he’s been seen at the club

Maybe he was but has SC left the club in a better state than Moore did and if so why? 

Corney - and please please please for all his faults let’s not forget the other 2 bastards who still milk day to day money in Blitz and Gazal!! Have undoubtedly left us in a much much worse place than we were in 2003.  HMRC weren’t raiding us or serving winding up orders like confetti then.

the 3 of them can burn in hell for me and have their golden bricks shoved firmly up theirs lying arseholes (just read article from 2005 in MEN from blitz how he was here for the long term and promised to move us up)

AL is unknown but he’s pumped money in so far to steady the mess and the further we are away from that lot the better

Absolute nonsense.  Moore was a convicted fraudster for God's sake.  No comparison whatsoever.

Not when he owned us he wasn’t

If Clarke was sounded out for the job

yesterday is AL either... 

 

Wanting to prove he just isnt going after an unknown foreigner
Just Trying to do it as cheap as possible

Or
Just wanting a puppet

 

Take our pick.

 

Clarke doesn’t strike me as the puppet type 

I don’t want Clarke (as manager)

Allegedly fully employed by Abdallah now. Conflict of interest regarding his posiston on the board with the trust?

On a side note - you’ve got into the positives with upboats/downboats - well done!!?

Simon is no Barry I will tell you that

The concern isnt necessarily the passport but if the coach is as good as the #frenchlad, players we have brought in then it doesnt bode well going forwards.

 

Im also guessing that the continental coach wont be of the likes of Guardiola Ancelotti or Zidane.

Whoever we get will likely be “continental” - even if he comes from Stalybridge. We are leaving the union not the continent 

in fact, strictly speaking every single person in the world is continental as we all live on one.... Apart from Donald Trump who seems to live on Pluto

I thought he'd just come back from a holiday?

Looked tanned in his Baxter interview - perhaps he knew it was coming so booked another 

Anthony Gerard doesn’t seem impressed on Twitter - he really is an unprofessional pillock

He would for the right money I’d imagine. Doubt there will be many big clubs clambering for his signature after the balls-up he made of the Sunderland and Bradford jobs...

Dont think he can really be blamed for Sunderland, they’re in complete disarray

If Abdallah is willing to give £11,000 a week to a winger then hopefully he’s willing to spend it on a decent management team.

 

Simon Grayson please...

I really doubt Grayson would entertain a League 2 club - wasn’t Blackpool the last time he was down here?

Wenger's free.

He won’t be “free”

Which they didn’t follow with Simon Corney

Got to be more than football reasons here you'd have thought.

Considering they’ve thanked his efforts and praised his professionalism (unlike with Corney) I can’t see it

Grass with wobbly lines...

Full credit for still cutting the grass after not being paid for 6 months ?

Add Wellens to that shitstorm and it's a Tsunami

Bollocks - he wasn’t perfect after his initial run but Wellens or any other manager is nothing to do with the fact that even companies supplying paper clips won’t touch us with a barge pole

Who gives a monkeys where he’s gone, more concerned about the shitstorm thats coming our way at BP.

The shit storm that has existed for months that Corney papered over and the new owner is trying to sort is how I read it - there’s a lot that clearly wasn’t disclosed
