The club are seeking 5 volunteers at the club to take redundancy.  The fun starts now I guess...

Absolute joke.
How many board members do we currently have? Get rid of one of them and that's probably the equivalent of one "normal" staff member. Problem solved.

5 you say? OK, Jed, Callum "Gigs" Rice, Steve "Punchy" Murrall and "Who?" Hooper that makes four. And cancel the leases on their cars for the 5th plus a nice cash surplus. Job done.

Good thinking, we could have a buyout bidding war from the plethora of interested parties who are all loaded.

I've heard rice has lined up the thing things (ting ting tribute) and simply dread (feat pliers, from Chaka demus and pliers) to play gigs this summer.

My mistake. Obviously I would willingly donate my liver and those of my two children for sale to medical science to ensure our enlightened and far-sighted board can drive around in the air-conditioned comfort they so richly deserve for the next however many years.

It seems to vary, according to the alignment of the planets.

TBF, you cannot downsize the club, without casualties.

The concern is can this be achieved within a timescale that will see us avoid the A word. Clearly there's a long way to go yet, but we do still seem to have a lawn mower, which we've previously had repossessed.

It would be churlish to not show a little appreciation for their efforts, if this comes in the form of leased luxury cars then surely we can put up with the loss of a video analyst or ticket office employee to cover the more important costs. After all, our ticket sales will no doubt be well down on recent years so we can likely afford to cut back on ticket office staff.

I don't know why the likes of TAH, Cox and Benson can't be redeployed to sell tickets etc.

As I understand it, up until JedCo took over, Watkins was the only salaried board member. IIRC he was paid around £120,000 as shown on the last accounts. The other directors (Wray, Backhouse etc.) claimed expenses but these only amounted to a few thousand.

Now we've got JedCo and his mates all reputedly taking salaries of £50k+ and company cars, plus untold other people (Power) probably taking consultancy fees. And to pay for this, other staff have to make way.

Jobs for the boys, indeed.

They may need to. Both Jock (Dave) and Brian have both retired already, so it's 5 volunteers on top of these two.

5 non-playing staff members you say?

Well, TAH can probably come under that so let's hope he steps forwards.
