...the tough (well our Chef Exec) goes on holiday.

With the transfer window about to open and the cva debt due to be padi off by the end of the week, Martyn Starmes goes away on holiday.  What brilliant foresight.

I know everyone's entitled to go on holiday but fuck me you'd have thought he'd have given this a little thought.

I doubt it'll make much difference, Bowden probably usurps him all the time anyway.

id be surprised to see any board memebers at the club for the next week or two

might be a permanent one  :wink:

fatters have you mellowed out slightly? u dont seem to love the rock as much  :shock:

To be fair the bloke's entitled to a holiday. Probably needs one as well after the season he's had.

I've got to disagree Paul.

The CVA is due the end of this week and the Board are acting like ostriches.

He should be at the club, along with the rest of the muppets, sorting out what they're gonna do.

Fucking off on holiday at arguably the most important period in the clubs history just further shows the complete disregard the present incumbents hold the club in.

Or maybe they're just idiots...................

or maybe they've got it all in hand?

I am inclined to agree Hertha - Of course he's more than intitled to a holiday, but IMHO the prime time for holidays in football is at the immediate end of the season, or perhaps once the manager has his squad fully assembled and ready for the season - I understand the need to tie players to contracts and if that's Starnes job he needs to be there to do it.  But as the 'acting' CEO of a company which is 6 days from potential oblivion it seems a little naive to be holidaying, it's not like they haven't had 5yrs of knowing when this deadline is due.

Maybe.

If that's the case though, why don't they fucking tell us!!!

Because they're making us all sweat....

The thing is though Hertha, on major financial/structural matters the decision is out of Starnes' hands - he's just going to be following the orders of our "General Manager". And as it's been made pretty clear they don't intend to do anything about the CVA deadline, whether Starnes is at his desk or not will make sod all difference. I'd agree with the general point about the board acting like ostriches, but I think that decision's been made higher up the tree than Starnes. But fear not, our Joint Designate Deputy Vice Generalissimo is back this week so doubtless the answer will be in his head.

I agree Paul which is why I said "I know everyone's entitled to go on holiday"

But you can't say the timing is a little "off".

let's hope he isn't CE when he returns then....

Doh! Missed that. Sorry.

as far as i'm aware starnes has been 'in the office' working through sturrock's wish list whilst sturrock and his management team have been away on holiday. give the guy a break!

and besides, what difference does it make whether starnes is in the office this week or not? he's not the one negotiating with the mystery investor, the council, the CVA administrator or the consortium.

he does seem to be the only one who actually does work though.

Plus with email and phones people dont really take holidays now days.

Wish I could have a holiday  :mrgreen:

Do you really think that Mickey D would pay Starnes phone bill if he was making calls from another country...probably make him pay it himself   :soapy tit wank:  and as for email well I'm sure they are not advanced enough so that Starnes can access his email from anywhere other than the office.

But it dosen't matter though either way as if anything needs to be done that Mr Diamandis will deal with it, and as he writes all the PR's anyway he can put whatever name he likes to them !!

He couldn't answer the e-mail I sent him. I did get a response from old stick shaker Holt though, clearly meaning Bobby has nowt else to do....

For him to fuck off as he has suggests that something has been sorted.
Scarey thought!!!

Or that they're still no closer to "sorting" anything than they have been the last umpty-nine times we've been told there "touching cloth" on signing up new investment.

Ive supported the consortium from the off, but sometimes I get so bored of everything that happens at the club being slated, srutinised (sp) and jumped on.  I think peopel need to forget holidays happen, things happen in businesses.

We all want teh board out and BP in however sometimes it becomes a joke listening to some of teh stuff that is said.

 :goodpost:

To be fair though the way the club is run everything that happens / get's said get's scrutinised in the minutest of detail so that is why you see these sort of post's with people wondering what is going to happen next.

I don't think it has anything to go with the consortium though but with a lot more supporters being wiser than they was a few months back people will look at things and wonder.
