Staff Redundancies at SAFC

Status
Not open for further replies.

Don't confuse the management of playing staff with the management of the day to day running of the club. They've both been mismanaged but this isn't unexpected given our financial plight and needs going forward.

As with all redundancies it's significant to look at the roles in question and where they rank on necessity.

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.

struggling for funding also
 
Never got the need to do this.

Say 20 people on £15k a year = £300,000 pa.

Thats ten weeks of some one like Larsson. Be much better getting the players to take a small wage cut than get rid of loads of staff.
 
I know it's not a nice situation for the club staff but surely they are aware that this is a possibility working for SAFC. They've had 10 years job security so far. I'm sure it's mentioned when they sign a contract.

I think it was stated that NY was a good choice of destination because it's not a big football city and they won't really be known when they're out and about. Either way I don't know why it matters, if it was just a lads holiday they would have been better going to Portugal or somewhere warm wouldn't they?

It was a team building exercise, let's hope it's worked and we see some benefit from it.

Great idea to go out in club track suits with cameras everywhere then.
 
People do realise that things such as that new york trip will cost the club basically nothing due to the tax they pay?
 
It's not the trip to New York that's condemned folks to redundancy it's the years of financial mismanagement and buying and selling of shite players and managers that's put us in this spot.
we are in a massive hole, loads of players out of contract and massive debt meaning there will be little funds to buy even if we do squeak it and stay up so we will no doubt give new contracts to the shite we have here already or be buying bargain basement again and the cycle and struggle starts again

You're right. The club should just employ more and more people indefinitely instead of paying footballers. I'm sure they'll find them summit to dee after all.

Or employing people in roles that were never necessary to the running of a football club.
