This is a very cynical view of the work of consultancies.
As you state, most companies employ them and some are better than others, McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group being top examples, Accenture, KPMG and PWC being highly rated as well. If they did not add significant value then they would not be used, even if its just to validate a decision which the director or CEO may have already preferred.
If KPMG were involved when SISU bought CCFC then they should have flagged up the high rent as a cause for concern or did they think it was acceptable?
I reckon life coach would be better, just feed them buzz words and job done.I've always fancied a bit of management consultancy, seems like a great gig. Like people who train teachers, just turn up, spout bollocks, and be gone before they find out it's snake oil.

Perhaps I'm being cynical too John, but in my experience of one of those you've mentioned - it's money for old rope. They've come into our firm by blagging powerpoints and bluster to our top people, are getting us to spend a fortune on their tried and trusted methods, but are seriously letting us down because we provide a unique business. In our department alone, they came to us with a plan which we implemented - then had to go back to exactly what we were previously doing because they agreed our method worked better.
I'm not trying to universally poo poo these people, they have their place in the world....but they need to stick to what they know. Like us, there are too many uncertainties in running a football club that catches these so called business experts out.
You get to see someone at the start who is knowledgeable about your business but once they are in the door they flood you with people who are clueless and are measured by their company by how many more people they can get through the door. Their focus is presentation over content and they looooove spending days and days using Powerpoint.
I wouldn't hire them.

I heard that my next door neighbour had shagged every bloke in our street! (I bet the one she missed was the miserable git at No22!)

Hoffman is being asked to Brooker a deal once a buyer has been found. Which could explain his appearance next to Fisher and the sighting of Haskell...
All a bit strange but some of the dots can be connected I suppose, but more in hope than reality.
