  • Is the COO a position that's vital in running a football club? I ask sincerely as I don't know the structure of a FC.Ā 

  • But in the NHL.....

    BrilliantĀ 
  • New employee doesnā€™t pass probationary period. Nothing new is it?
    For a c-suite role you would expect probation to be at least 6 months. It will be almost impossible to get rid before then unless it is gross misconduct or a mutual decision.
  • New employee doesnā€™t pass probationary period. Nothing new is it?
    It is when it's the most senior non football employee at the club. Jokat isn't an accounts assistant or a trainee in the ticket office

    Not common in senior positions
    Fair enough. But if TS isnā€™t happy with what heā€™s shown then better to act now right? TS needs someone in charge of operations he can trust. An error is judgement is certainly not uncommon.

    Ā Certainly another indication TS needs a football club man in there with him.

    What i posted on the Mumford thread

    IF this rumour is true its a fact that TS took over the club and made 3 appointments to run the club

    Mumford
    Roddy
    Adkins (and his subsequent replacement sacked)

    All gone within about 20 months. That is not positive however you dress it up
    Yes TS is a useless wanker!!šŸ™„
    At no point have I said anything like that. All I have done is point out theĀ  actual non playing recruitment since TS took over.

    We all want him to succeed at running this club, we will all benefit.

    ButĀ  its no good just blindly praising when at presant other than saving the club from the crooks we have not yet achieved anything, and we won't if we cannot get the right people into the right roles 2 years down the track.

    Always time to turn it around
    I was being sarcastic, we are going around in circles with the putting the boot in, and the blind support debates. Bored of it now, think we would be better to see what happens and support the team as thatā€™s what we can control.

    I will be there supporting the team.

    Agree we can control what happens at the club, but this is a forum so what else should we do, not post anything until the season starts?
    No sorry, not getting embroiled in the good and bad of Thomas debate, just not doing it!!!!šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

    Maybe we're getting Chorley?
    Chorley as Director of Football and Martin Sandgaard moves to COO would make sense.
    That would make a hell of a lot of sense.Ā  Probably too much sense.Ā 
    Chorley yes. Please can we stop this madness on MS - he's there to get a free job from Dad. That's fine - stick him somewhere that doesn't really have a massive impact on the club to learn. Get a COO that has proper experience in the sports space. If Jokat wasn't cut for it for whatever reason (and he at least had a relevant CV), why would MS be?Ā 

    Come on.
    I would say he could do less damage as COO than he could in his current role.

    I mean what even is it, its what ever you want it to be. Its basically managing 4 or 5 department heads isn't it?
  • Jokat no longer appears on the staff page on the website which was updated todayĀ

  • We don't know the ins and outs. Maybe he was buying porn channels on the company card in the hotel room, maybe he tried to stick it on Raelynn, maybe he always turned up half an hour late for meeting stinking of booze, maybe he was leaking signings and the news of Garner etc to Cawley, maybe he had a target for a new commercial deal in his first 6 weeks and failed to hit it

    Strange one if true after such a short space of time.

    More worrying is that it would start to show a pattern developing after Roddy and Mumford not to mention Bowyer, Adkins, Jackson, Skiverton and Euell on the footy side (plus possibly others).Ā  Unstable work places are not healthy places to work in.

    Hopefully just a rumour and not accurate.
    To be fair there seems to be an argument for all of them doing a shit job, if TS sees it that way heā€™s entitled to get rid, if he thinks he can get better.
    Sure but with the exception of Bowyer the argument is circular.Ā 

    Either TS brings in competent people then they leave/are sacked pretty swiftly = not a great look or
    TS brings incompetent people in and then they leave/he has to sack them pretty quickly = not a good look.Ā 

    TS has done a lot of good things for us and got a lot right but senior football and non football staff appointments to date have not proven in the medium term to be one of those yet.Ā  Fingers crossed on the footy side the latest ones prove more successful.
    Obviously we all want stability with the right people, but Iā€™d rather he tinkers and decides to change what he thinks isnā€™t working than let them carry on doing a shit job, itā€™s the time he doesnā€™t bother to change things that would potentially be more of a worry as thatā€™s when he decides bollox to it, he obviously cares enough to make things a success.We were moaning when Roland didnā€™t give a toss, and now there are people moaning that heā€™s too involved. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļøBowyer fucked it up for himself Iā€™m afraid, I was eventually relieved he decided to jump ship, and thatā€™s not to say when he was doing well he deserved credit. We seem to have made good steps forward with various recruitments and letting people go this week and there is still the negative element wafting around like one of my bad farts after a dodgy Indian!!!šŸ¤¢šŸ„µšŸ¤£

    All around mine for cream crackers and a bottle of tiger. šŸ˜‰
  • Maybe the director of football Ben Chorley was it, is joining from the Swindon lot
  • Think TS needs to attend a seminar called " The importance of stability in a football club".

    Squeaky b*m time for other staff members at our club ?Ā
