  • What skills are actually needed to be a good club secretary?
    Dont get me wrong, I’m sure whatever the skillset is, Chris Parkes obviously has it and he deserves respect for his past service and for stepping in now.
    But what made him a good CS and how do you identify someone with the same skills to take the role moving forward?

    He was previously head of operations for the Brentford Academy before they closed it down.

    He lives in Essex and took a local job after this.

    Some people on here blaming him for a coach journey taking over 4 hours because of traffic is ridiculous.
    To be fair he was driving the coach and stopped off in Manchester
  • Was he? Brentford sources suggested his role there was exaggerated by Charlton.
    Good old Rick putting the knife in again - never probably met the guy!!!
  • Sending faxes?

    Weirdly the EFL were still using faxes until very recently to confirm transfers.

    Unhackable i believe.  I think i read they're one of the most secure methods of comms unless im misremembering/ talking nonsense which is probable.
  • Also massively unlikely for a whole fax network to go down but email servers drop out pretty regularly. If our email server went down on deadline day and we couldn’t make signings we wanted it would be chaos

    Probably because nobody has tried, given they haven't been used for decades (only by the FA and HMRC!)

    Absolutely correct. Not the talking nonsense bit, I should add. What you say is exactly the reason why they use fax.
  • I believe (happy to be corrected) that a fax is the only form of contractual document that can be signed, sent and accepted as a legally binding document ?
    We scan and send signed agreements by the dozen in my work every day.
  • Many years ago I was working for a computer firm in Basingstoke where one of guys developed some software that allowed a Mac computer to send and receive faxes.
  • Is this the most boring thread ever?

    I dunno, Ron’s attire in the OP, Fax machines and Basingstoke being mentioned runs whatever the most boring thread is pretty close.
