Do you really know how a football business runs? If you don’t have support staff to include coaches, physio, medical, ground staff, security, admin, ticket sales do you expect Kevin McDonald to do it in his spare time?
That comment lays out what utter nonsense is posted on here sometimes ? Well done!

 

I know exactly how it was run. I never said no support staff. But they were paired to the.minimum needed to run the club efficiently with some volunteers to keep costs down to the minimum with even some staff doubling up jobs. Lawn was an expert at cutting all costs along with David Baldwin he brought in on no wages to benefit the playing side of the club including the staff Parky asked for he never skimped on the playing side just the ancillary

 

So how many support staff do you recommend ? Part time/ Full time split . ? Salaries for commercial , admin ground staff , coaching staff . Your initial post started the debate so finish it off with facts or you look rather silly.

 

Its easy look at the website with lists of staff and job titles. On the silly remark you show yourself up as a bit of a bigot to be honest as others have also commmented on your poor attitude to others on the forum

 

I don’t care what others think just because I ask you for facts to back up your statement. The truth lies in , I personally dont know, but you must do, otherwise you wouldn’t have made the statement or you have a narrative and just make things up because you think it somehow backs up your comment. So facts please otherwise you prove my point rather well.

Remember the earth is flat, but don’t ask me why or how I know but I will say it anyway.

 

Calm down Ryan, you’re a bit sensitive these days aren’t you?

 

Same applies to you sonny.

 

You've nailed it there regarding Danny Rowe.

 

I'd have some agreement for your comments if we had "skimped" on the playing side.

I'm pretty certain that Parky's budget, ranked relative to the appropriate division, on average was less than what all managers have had under Rupp. We were always discussing the need to push the boat out.

Let's remember, it was widely reported that when we got relegated, we had the 7th best budget.

We simply employ the wrong managers or rather don't give some of them long enough, which of course we can very much blame Rupp etc.

 

Lawn never skimped on playing staff devoting every penny he could save elswhere to give to Parkys budget

 

Found any facts yet? Where are these facts and information you keep posting is available ? A simple solution …post them or to make it easier , a link will suffice. I’ll tell you if you are right and I am wrong, not a problem to me.

 

But we haven't "skimped" on playing staff?

Do you think the likes of Cook, Gilliead, Smallwood, Stubbs, Pattinson, Chapman and Walker are on the lowest L2 wages or something?

They've fouled up with their non-existent managerial employment policy!! Not with supporting their manager in the market. We've some players who've had FOUR different managers in less than two years - all of which see the game totally different to one other. Not certain that's conducive to getting the best out of them!!

Which is shown by the fact that we've seen, from the performances against Stockport, Mansfield, Wrexham, Gillingham, Swindon, Barnsley and Derby - that there's enough quality in the squad. We simply have one, two or even ten players - who simply cannot handle the pressure when they are expected to perform. Heads have gone. Too many different voices telling them different things. Problem is there are no simple solutions to it. But we can't blame the board and say they have "skimped" on recruitment.

 

Don’t expect a detailed response.

 

This goes along more with the lack of vision of the club but if there was a statement next season that it’s a transitional year and the playoffs would be a bonus but the focus is developing a team to have a big push the following season-would people accept that?

 

Obviously all the paper work was done in Ryan's office with his back to the pitch

 

I remember very well the fans forum when he and our then new manager Stuart McCall fronted it, Mark asking if their were fans who could help out with any tasks that were required, painting, plumbing, electrics etc, without pay of course.

 

I don’t think we have skimped but there is a level of incompetence. We have changed managers who all want different players, plus we have no identity so that despite different managers we should have a plan and an identity and style of play. We haven’t, so here we are having to try and carve out a set of players that can actually do the job,

 

Small point, but it's Calum Kavanagh, not Callum.

Thought he looked lively for a while.

 

Totally agree.
