Success off the pitch

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.

Right ok, make sure you break out the Beluga Caviar, Dom Pom and your finest vintage for the scousers in 2 weeks time and in return we’ll take a couple of fringe squad players off their hands.

Great to read that Glenn.

If I recall correctly ......... After City had played MK Dons in their Lge 2 winning season - Winkleman (MK Chairman) said of City; "A Class act, and where we should aspire to be." , in relation to the hospitality, and behaviour from the fans on the Terraces.

Quite right Ronnie, comments followed by others towards the end of last season when our impending relegation dawned on a few. As Glenn intimated it's about building relationships and good will

Without a doubt ww ..... My younger brother (having gained a Senior position) at the tender age of 29, said to me at the time ; "Life is about rubbing shoulders with the right people - NOT rubbing up the right people in the wrong way." I've not forgotten that.

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!
