Surely she has to take some responsibility for the financial shitshow we turned ourselves into?
Doubt it, will be a water-carrier position. Rolling out the bad decisions of others.

Is Louise Wanless still there?
She seems to survive every change but I have no idea what she does or contributes.....
I was just saying to the lads over the weekend, I really hope KLD has taken out a new contract on the plant pots just to piss off the small time penny pinchers.![]()

We had a 5 year court battle ower Ricky mind...It's a complex contract, but the level of overall complexity isn't that high compared, say, to trying to export something post-Brexit (or outside the EU pre-Brexit).
Murray, Fickling, Featherstone, Bain, De Fanti, Congerton, Donald, Methven, Short, Sartori, Hutchison, Sloanes, Andersson, Fox, Farnham etc all fair game though.
Any mention of Lowes, Callaghan or Byrne though.......

That's not a description of any FD I've ever known. An FD should be a director first and an accountant second. Any FD getting involved in accounts preparation is doing it wrong.
I always get the Peter Principle and Parkinson's Law mixed up. Is the Peter Principle that you rise to the level of your incompetence?A perfect example of the Peter Principle
Weird business though isn't it, football. When you're in the Premiership, the incentive to keep spending and not cut back is huge, because the gargantuan income drop if you don't is even worse. It's kind of like the furlough scheme - you just keep hoying it in, hoying it in. But what if it doesn't do the job and you get the bill for unemployment and the bill for furlough anyway? That's what happened to us anyway and if she was giving advice saying - yeah, we need to cut XYZ, we need to stop spending XYZ on players, really unsure given the incentives and structures of the business that she would likely be listened to...
...which is an argument for our current restructure I realise, which is merely playing catch-up with a lot of the more enlightened football clubs.
The rotten core.

One of those people you don't know what they do or how much influence they have, so I think any criticism on here is probably unfair.
But, it shows we are getting a new head finance person in. Given KLDs background, it could be a quite a statement of intent, depending on who we get in.
I’d put Byrne in your ‘hit list’ without a doubt. There are actions undertaken by most of your list that are public knowledge and ended badly. I’m not aware of any taken by Lowes but if you would like to throw a few examples of how she has specifically contributed to our miserable footballing existence in recent years I’d be happy to join in with the criticism.
I thought Parkinson’s law was that a draw is as good as a winYes. Parkinson's Law is that work expands to fill the time available.
I just did earlier in the thread. Overseeing everything from financial oblivion under Short to asset stripping under Donald and sitting idly by and taking the money. As Grumpy says if I was continually pointing out areas of concern and being ignored then I’d have to reconsider my role. If I wasn’t then I’d not be fulfilling my role correctly.
That wasn't complexity - that was simply crass.
Yeah, the last 10 years don't look good for her do they, given she's been a member of the board since 2011.
