Re: New head of commercial operations
I hope this works out (obviously we all do). Based on our experience of seeing people appointed to the role then it'll be interesting to see how long he lasts. On LinkedIn, he's put the following under his current role description: "To lead ,create and execute a strategic commercial strategy a...

Re: Cost of relegation .
Two o'clock kickoffs would save some electricity money if brought in after the clocks change. Also more chance of getting home safely in winter. Something Fans organisations should consider.

Re: Cost of relegation .
Do the numbers suggest we lose more revenue than the £250k we got for May? We don’t know of course if asking him to honour his contract would have kept us up or not. Some might ask the same about Goodwin. All of Alfie's goals didn't fire Charlton to promotion or the play offs but hypothetically cou...

Re: Manager no nearer
Why is it a red flag? He has a year on his deal and the club are trying to protect themselves by offering him a longer one. Presumably with clauses in should another club come in for him. He might feel that he's happy with his current terms so will sit on that for now. Being no nearer does not mean...

Re: Former players
no sign of Goodwin in play offs Hasn’t played since 16 March. Still very early to judge, but he’s basically had 4 weeks of his EFL career where he’s a) been fit and b) scored goals. As it stands, we did a cracking deal there. Well done the Board and football management. Hopefully if Oxford go up we...

Re: Robins Trust Email - Cheltenham Town: Building for the Future
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...

Re: Professionalising 'little old Cheltenham'
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...
