Even more pertinent, who wants a pic. Creepy.

Yeah I missed the thing about charging for pics. I guess it is another way to make a bit of money and if there is a demand for it and if it helps us have a more competitive budget I won’t lose any sleep over it. I assume the club provide you with a picture via email or something rather than just charging for a selfie?

For my 2 pence worth, I actually think these announcements is positive news. I think (and hope), that this maybe the start of the end of the remnants of the Power era. (Hart, Kiely, Zav etc)

[Power to people]

the 3 appointments from Axis, I assume they will job share with the day job or are they being seconded to stfc ?,

The stadium development position makes sense I suppose as you would imagine he will have contacts in the building trade so will know the right people to talk to with whatever is needed.

Is that Hall, Dover & De Costa all from Axis ?

Be interesting to what extent those coming in from axis spend their time on STFC business. Hopefully the majority

I actually thought that £25 for a 2 course meal as well as a Q&A session with Flynn was pretty good value. The picture charging thing does seem a bit weird, why not just let fans take selfies with him on their own phones?

At the risk of being a whinger, can't they do a £10 paid bar version as well?

If Gunning isn't fancied, would have been useful to have him and Austin manage a U18/reserve hybrid B-Team, in lieu of any such thing - and just playing behind closed doors friendlies against other academies or reserves. Assume the club are funding both of their development - and Mike Cook the women's manager is their mentor isn't he?

Axis/STFC roles I suppose could be hybrid if the boss is willing to do a decent division of labour. It's better than volunteers... but rather thin on the ground on actual full time employees -  and still plenty of people doubling up in house. While it may feel very streamlined, I think this is quite limiting.

The 3 Axis employees are part of the 5 loans that Cowley mentioned.

It will be, The AXIS side in the UK isn’t like it is in Australia

[Bogus Dave]

Yeah, I can well imagine it would be the case that the county ground project being Axis UK’s main focus

Do Axis even have a UK Office and UK based staff, their website specifically lists Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and the US, doesn't seem to make any specific mention of the UK, not that that is a problem necessarily in modern times?

Edit - Actually scrub that, they have a separate UK website and have worked on projects I have worked on!

I'm pretty sure I randomly walked past an Axis office in Birmingham outside where I used to work once, if that helps. It was probably 4 years ago.

Part of me hopes we don’t make any more signings before this, it would be brilliant entertainment 

You're weird

😁

Didn't we bring forward transfer fees secured against an axis property?

[Robinz]

If the NZ office is anything to go by.... not very up market or Palatial
