This is correct club shop + ticket office will join together as one that kind of stuff. They are restructuring throughout and redundancies are being made on a points scheme.

Do you know if many took that offer? Yes a few took it as 4 weeks wages extra. The rest are being scores on a points system 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Herbivorous 103 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Another possibility is that person or persons unknown want to make a significant financial investment, and he / she / they are insisting on staff reductions before the deal is done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And I understand we are changing this as we have a lack of experts behind the scenes now? Just people doing multiple roles. Like the recruitment analysts. Link to post Share on other sites

Just people doing multiple roles. Like the recruitment analysts. Unfortunately there isn't a change in that as its incorporated in 'the long term project' what Gibson and co kept emphasising when Woodgate was appointed. Recruitment analysts are part of the analysts team now where they also study all other types of footballing data for example other teams in the division = Doing multiple jobs as previously we had a recruitment team just doing recruitment duties, analyst team which was just looking at opposition teams. Our sports scientists are now also getting incorporated with the physio duties. It all makes sense for the structure to be ran that way, but previously it was a mess from Karanka days as he wanted 1 staff member doing 1 specific job. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The match day staff haven't heard from the club since March! Link to post Share on other sites

I think a potential buyer might well want to deflect any criticism over redundancies onto the previous regime. I would have thought this was standard practice... Link to post Share on other sites

I think the club need to change targets. I thought that too, listening to him. Link to post Share on other sites

GrimsbyBoro 1,968 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Quick conspiracy theory the club will announce a signing and then redundancies on the same day. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
SzilardNemethsCurtains 2,844 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Maybe we should just all admit now that at best we are going to get frees, loans and players that are not wanted by multiple clubs? People are losing their jobs and there isn't a lot of money there, we would be mad to expect any decent signings or massive overhauls regardless of whether they are needed Link to post Share on other sites

I certainly hope that our directors don't continue taking home the same pay packet whilst getting rid of those lower down. I've no doubt redundancies were expected at some level, especially in pandemic times, but every job saved by people higher up taking a pay cut is a great move. The economy is struggling, jobs are being lost all over the place, it's really scary times. Some people can afford to lose some money, some really can't. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
