Will Brand's loan expire before he's appointed?

Better put that to the Advisory Board meeting, since they don't ignore any serious questions... Girl Giggle

From the club statement it's not even clear it's the clubs fault.

Just frustrating to still be here

Defo this mate.

It's still an odd one for me really and does bring into question things like commitment. So long as Morris is happy (I have my doubts that he's not completely happy, poss not everything he was promised has been honoured), then that's all that matters mostly.

If that's the case the question on Adam Hart as one example would not have been answered or some of the serious questions also put forward by the OSC in the most recent AB, but they were.. Club have never not answered a question to date, so think that's a bit unfair.. Just my opinion naturally. Any questions we receive at the Trust we also ask and have been included in the AB minutes. As I said just my opinion. If you send me or the Trust anything i will ask it.

Can you ask what has happened with the Zav Austin fit and proper person? It has been brought up many a time but doesn’t seem to get asked.

"Opportunities" for volunteers to help the media team. Unpaid of course, plus you have to use your own car and equipment!

More and more this is the way of things, we're certainly not alone in going down this route, but it leaves a bad taste. This expectation for creative careers that you have to work for free for a significant period to "gain experience" is such bollocks.

Slightly different but my Wife used to volunteer at the local Sue Ryder shop once a week, but gave it up when a new manager came in and got a bit arsey when she wouldn't spend more time there being unpaid, so now she doesn't go at all.

Unpaid Interns are nothing new in many careers. As long as the company doesn’t take the piss regarding length of unpaid work and have a reasonable chance of a job at the end of it.

But there isnt a chance of a job at the end of it is there?

Trying to do stuff on the freebie all the time, like asking whether someone would volunteer to take player lunches to training for them

it might be useful for a portfolio to take when applying for other jobs.

Gives an opportunity to practice skills too.

But I wouldn't be committing to anything  length wise under those circumstances.

Thing is, Brand is basically doing the job right? He is there in training, he sits in the stands on match day and has the comms with Mildenhall. So outside of being on the bench during the game, i'm not sure what we are missing.

Would still be good for it to be sorted.

Not a great look is it, be interested on the Trusts view here?

Strikes me that the club expect goodwill from the fans, but in turn are happy to sh1t on said fans at every opportunity to squeeze every single penny.

I don't have a problem with it unless its taking the piss and becomes an expectation that you will turn up and do stuff.
