The Boardroom of the Year Awards are a cause for celebration but I would add the need for context.
After the season we've had I can fully understand fans thinking that the clubs priorities are wrong - Looking after the posh nobs whilst the team underperformed.
The reality is that what happens in the boardroom goes a long way to helping the club on the field.
Deals for players we sign or get on loan are agreed by managers but sanctioned by the Chairman.
If they have a good relationship with the club and they like them, you'll win the battle for a loan player, or get better terms when negotiating a deal.
That's why looking after away Directors/Chairman is so important. Football is all about relationships. The boardroom Associate Directors and Hospitality team have done amazing work to make Bradford City the most popular club in the English League. An incredible achievement.
To put this into perspective, I left late last night and two people on our table were from Tottenham. I said my goodbyes and asked what award they were up for. The reply. "The one you've just won!" - They've spent £1 Billion and little old Bradford City beat them with friendly northern hospitality.
So when we're getting players on good deals and beating other clubs to a signing, it's important to understand that it all starts from the building of relationships.

The Ambassadors all clubbed together to ensure our great staff had a free night at the EFL Awards last night at no cost to the club and will be funding new carpet to the Boardroom for next season again, at no cost to the club, all in addition to paying their fees for Ambassador or Associate Director as we may revert next season. Win, win for the club I'd say.Briggus, Budgie, Botswana Bantam and 8 others like this. -

Was having a look after the Spurs comment as there's a few of them pesky spurs fans at work. Apparently Spurs didn't even place in the top three!Rogered Tart likes this. -

Yes well done to all involved with the clubs hospitality. Let's make sure we're as tight and as horrible as they come on the pitch next season though!
