oafc1955 Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 On his way already after only 9 months............they say his position will be advertised but I can't help thinking it's another cost cutting job. He's seen the departure of three directors and the main source of our finances whilst he's been here. Frustration maybe........comments anybody? Quote
oafc0000 Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) I would suggest the club is unmarketable.... Seriously though, I doubt any job at BP can offer long term security... Good luck to him and thanks for your efforts... Maybe keep out of the sun more though Edited August 11, 2010 by oafc0000 Quote

He's seen the departure of three directors and the main source of our finances whilst he's been here. Frustration maybe........comments anybody? Cost cutting, and probably hasn't delivered as after all it's a numbers game. Shame reallyb as I felt the club were improving marketing wise, especially with the questionaires, personalised Dickov emails and other little bits and bobs. I'd guess Guy's on a fair whack salary-wise so probably an effort to cut costs more than likely. Besides, he looked a bit like Robert Duvall. Quote

Lookers_Carl Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Who said it was the club that got rid of him? The impression I got when reading that article was that he got another job offer at JD sports and took it If it was a cost cutting exercise, given what has happened in the past, they would not be looking for a replacement, rather the duties would be spread amongst existing staff Quote

If a few people switched their heads on in the club half the stuff you mention should happen without a dedicated marketing guy to be frank... True, but without a dedicated person this 'easy' stuff gets left behind in the general daily firefighting that goes on. And that is at the heart of why the club's marketing got to the stage it did in the void between Jarvis and Guy. Any organisation worth it's salt needs a dedicated marketer particularly in this day and age. Quote

What will the wage be? Is it a permanent position? Will the successful candidate have to re-locate to Failsworth? Quote
Nickhenryslovechild Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 No point appointing anyone, ALAN HARDY will continue to make the decisions and make the same mistakes no matter who gets the job! Quote

opinions4u Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Perhaps the new Guy (or his interim replacement, Mr Hardy) should consider Stockport's latest season ticket promotion to get the fans back: Try Before You Buy See the new Dickov style of play and then buy a season ticket for £20 less than face value after 1 game.
