When the going gets tough....

...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.

[Bushey Boy]

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

[fatbury]

might be a permanent one  

[tans]

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.

[herthab]

Maybe.

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

[Sippo]

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

[pauld]

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".

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

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

Doh! Missed that. Sorry.
