Staff Redundancies at SAFC

Awful for those involved (assuming they are doing a good job), but if this is what it takes to put the ship right then it HAS to be done and quickly.

I might be alone in thinking it, but Bain seems to have the club sussed form day one and is making some hard, but good decisions for our clubs future. If we go down, it might just calamitous for us though.

All the papers are commenting on it now a few hours after that initial story. One has quotes from Martin Bain.

SAFC chief executive Martin Bain said: “In recent months we have undertaken a detailed review of the club’s entire operation. “It is clear that the business had lost its focus and we now have to ensure that we are better equipped to be able to concentrate on the areas that are key to taking Sunderland AFC forward. “Our infrastructure provides a tremendous platform and it is important that we capitalise on this by channeling our efforts into those areas that will have an impact. “We want to ensure that the football club is in the best possible position to grow stronger, both on and off the field. “The decisions have not been taken lightly. “The internal process required in order to undertake the changes has already commenced and club staff have been advised of the procedures and timescales involved.”

>>It is clear that the business had lost its focus

Yeah from Short and yourself down to the players - they've been absolutely clueless, but please don't blame the poor souls on just above living-wage wages who have contributed so much for so little.

Thank god the Foundation Of Light is more independent and they will hopefully escape the annihilation of Micky's New Convertible years.

Weasel words to absolve himself and the executive of the mess and the subsequent blood-letting which will now surely follow.

Those three that we bought in January to thinking to appease the fans - their wages would have saved a lot of jobs.

:lol: :lol: Fuck sake man, Byrne hasn't even been gone a year, and yet you're blaming a fella who hasn't been in the job 5 minutes for losing focus?
 
No point blaming the players - don't make scapegoats of the wrong people.

I feel sorry for the people at risk. Hopefully the impact is as minimal as possible. Good luck to all concerned.
 
Only at Sunlun.. you couldnt make it up. 2 weeks wages from one of our players could pay their wages for a year, another cracking PR anouncement from our beloved club, Im not even going to go into the new york trip, fckin disgusting

Sorry "Some very good people are at risk and are very likely to lose their jobs"

Hope that clears things up for you. Getting that email is an horrendous experience. Nothing speculative about that



They have received additional emails to inform them of the level of risk, since the meeting.

Just out of interest, your mate at the club... what sort of wage is he on? I'm not interested in knowing who he is or what he does, just for an idea of their wage.
 
Awful for the every day folk who are going to be out of a job while the fuckers that go out and play continue to earn ridiculous money. I bet the players don't give a shit.
