If this is how modern football is being run then I'm not sure I want owt to do with it, The whole AN situation and now this just stinks to high heaven.
Could only happen to our club.

I thought that the club had finally taken notice of the problems that were there and have been for some time but it would appear not.. Yes, they opened up the ticket office and the club shop but there were plenty of other things that needed addressing (My lad commented on the half cleaned side of the stadium ,nearest the ticket office last game) Academy staff to name but one. After this latest episode with AN, I'm tending to agree that the club is being run on a shoestring.. I base part of this on something Barnes said in a podcast I listened to yesterday. It would appear that the stewards who service the stadium on a match day are paid , I think he said something like £3.00 PH less than the Stewards at Hartlepool. Now that smacks of penny pinching at the bottom of a gutter.

I hope so, I have argued (as many others) the squad is lacking numbers and quality...

Now Speakman would not be parsimonious with funds unless KLD had so instructed.

I reckon Neil left cos he is a greedy bastard and was offered more money at Stoke.

However what may have prompted him to do the dirty was the lack of transfers...Broadhead going to a rival would not have helped, Stewart having not signed a new contract (thought we learnt that lesson with Maja) etc.

I’d been thinking that it wasn’t about money but after hearing from my Preston mate last night, Stoke have been throwing money at Neil for a while. I think add to that more autonomy and a carefully negotiated contract release and he’s off. It’s been on the cards for ages. We were a stepping stone.

stumbling block at the very least. he's gone back to Paris

Would be surprised if he's still at PSG on 2nd September. whether its to us or not will likely depend on who blinks first.

all one big game of chess

Sub contracted out to Alpha security isn't it? They will get whatever their rate is from them I'd assume. Not sure what it is but not much I'd guess.

Just curious as the stewards pay is the latest thing to be trotted out.

Liverpool pay £9 something according to Google, I was curious how that stacks up

Is that Liverpool FC stewards or are they contracted out? Be surprised if ours are more than 12 quid an hour.

Minimum wage is £9.50 I’ve worked in temp recruitment before, used to supply Southampton, would be shocked if they’re on much more than min wage

So Liverpool and Southampton pay minimum wage, we must be paying minimum wage but because Hartlepool pay £3 more we are doing things on the cheap.

That a fair assessment?

I’d assume so yeah, I doubt Hartlepool are paying £12.50 an hour either like but they might be, I’ve not been in temps for about 6 years now so things might have changed
