Yes the Morecambe owners are the same ones who ran Worcester rugby into the ground. They have had the club up for sale for over a year now but not sold as nobody will meet their asking price. That's seen a lot of key staff and players leave and they are stuck in a downward spiral. I fully agree the...

Now look at what a CEO achieved at Morecambe, doubling their crowds, record season ticket sales and their commercial income. It's a no brainer so long as we get the right person into role it can pay for itself.

But with no profit?

horlickfanclub

As the Chairman and Paul Baker have explained how the club works without a C,E,O. and some here and the Trust have a different (non costed) view why not give Paul Godfrey the title "Operations Director" and the Chairman ,"Managing Director" . Two elevated job titles at no expense...

It's not resentment, it's a genuine question. The wage for a CEO could be spent on a player. Is a CEO a necessity? Given we go through Media manager's like a fat kid goes through cake, if we appointed one on the pittance wages we pay our club staff, then it probably wouldn't be long before we're lo...

A CEO or money in the playing budget ? Players get my vote.

horlickfanclub

Not owners. Nobody owns a majority stake.

horlickfanclub

Why is that alarming? Seeking more than one opinion seems wise to me.

ASL, the comment was to Robin, not you. Hold on where exactly have I had a pop at you? If you count me highlighting the fact that the board are not full time and volunteers and that I believe we would benefit from having some professional accountability (with transparent targets and plans) as board...

That's possibly closer to 'board bashing' than anything I've posted regarding the board... Still looking for those examples...? ASL, the comment was to Robin, not you.

I agree with that Slinky. The gates have gone up this season and hopefully the fans will stick with the club next season. The attitude of some though is disrespectful . Some on social media and news media spout the same misinformed rubbish and you can appreciate why good people would not want to get...

solar panels buying seasons Solar panels are nice and all but give absolutely no tangible benefit to fans. Buying seasons is a big positive but there appears to be no plan in terms of how to use it to generate revenue. It saves paying money to a third party in rent. Solar panels give benefit to fan...

Saw a tweet from JP that there maybe another departure from the board of directors. Not the chairman though. Paul Bence has had enough. With him standing down, I think I can share now that when we appointed Wade he was the only director who wanted to appoint Matty Taylor from the final two candidat...

Yes, as the Manager said and reported. Despite his bad back he can still pick up stirring spoons dropped around town.

Nice to see so many positive minded fans . It puts the moaners in to context. Bottom four position or not people like to see battlers fighting hard.

We had Caribbean and East Asian investment. In the 1930's we had major investment from Cheltonians. The only way the Racecourse move could work is if the Prestbury Park owners bought CTFC. I think they have since built on the area that was being suggested. It looks like the County Council are buildi...

Back in the 70's we had Robins Review and another couple of monthlies as well as programmes. All produced for a much smaller fan base.I still have some.

horlickfanclub

Sad to see the programme go. It was a means of communication and crediting sponsors and advertisers. Maybe the Trust could fill the gap with a publication .

horlickfanclub

My answer is No.

horlickfanclub

Well done to all concerned. A bit of positive thought works wonders.

I don't think the issue was Mickey Moore going himself, so much as having no plan for when he did leave. At best, this was naive on the Board's part. At worst, reckless. I have spent today updating my succession plan at work. My team of 12 is relatively stable, at least more stable than a league fo...

Have you listened to the Trust podcast with Paul Baker? He explains in some detail why a CEO isn't necessarily needed at Cheltenham. Clarifies that we did in fact have one at one time and it simply didn't work. That's not to say it won't work now, I just don't think it's necessarily the golden tick...

It is not a weird statement. You often post as if you speak for others. I do watch the forum and read the posts and other post their opinions,which I respect, but you post as if you are speaking for others and show no respect. Where did I say anything to deny there are disgruntled fans ? Where did I...

I don't understand why Bloxham is getting so much heat. He was poor on Thursday, no doubt about that, but he isn't a dictator and all decisions by the board are done on votes. Why is it suddenly Bloxham that's suddenly the bad guy and not, say, Murry Toms or Clive Gowing, or David Beesley, or Paul ...

horlickfanclub

So having a qualified solicitor who lots of fans feel isn't the right fit for the role is better then :roll: Bloxham also has no money and no connection with fans. I want this club in the best possible hands and I don't believe that's currently the case. "Lots of fans"? Have you done a su...

I agree it is disrespectful, as is unsubstantiated claims of " a lot of hindrance from those above".

Two things: 1. Some of that loss would have been down to Agents fees; I gather about a third of Shrewsbury’s loss was down to Agents fees. The amounts paid to Agents by each club has recently been released. It’s eye watering. 2. If you hire a professional such as a solicitor, you will pay the fees....

Six months of meat and three veg might have made him grow,

Once Joe got wound up by the Burton defender he was immense. Hopefully he will be the same on Saturday,Perhaps he wants to stay here.

I think Wilcox is worth keeping .Gets stuck in. I would prefer to see some of our own young players developed than a bunch of random trialists of the same age/ability turning up in July.

Below are the stats on Adulai at Hungerford who are in playoff contention. Added to his fifteen goals in twenty games at Cirencester he has done well out on loan playing mainly in midfield. Will we keep him at age twenty(almost) to develop if we are in League 2 or throwaway the time and money invest...
