Where does the 500k we spent on him stand in terms of the other league one fees this summer?

The way Robins started Baka and Hiwula immediately after signing, I'll be p*ssed if Chappers starts on the bench.
I think them 2 will start at Oxford but I still don’t think JCH is a No.9 the type chaplin will need to play with.Should have been played alongside JCH who although he missed a chance or two I thought had a decent game.?

Big indicator Sunday as to where we’re at.Perhaps, but what JCH ought to be able to do is occupy some of the Oxford defence and hopefully make space for Chaplin. The next few games will tell.
Club shop has had a nightmare.

I don't think that's an excuse to be fair.Its almost like the club shop is run by a third party who employ low / minimum wage workers who aren't supporters and don't know the name of a player we've just signed.

It's not hard to have some kind of system where you can select details from a list of squad players (an excel sheet could do this for god sake...).

Well no...when you're placing the order, if you're not doing it online (no idea if even an option), and you're face to face it goes something like...It still doesn't account for human error though. The people would have specifically asked for Chaplin so either the person wrote it down wrong or has a problem hearing.
You can have the best system in the world but if the person doing it isn't the brightest then it can still go wrong, especially if they are busy.
Fantastic - if you want a Vincenti shirt you could get one. What's your point?Well the club website still has Peter Vincenti as a squad player.
Well no...when you're placing the order, if you're not doing it online (no idea if even an option), and you're face to face it goes something like...
"Can I have Chaplin on the back please"
"Who?"
"Chaplin"
"Chapman?"
"No, Chaplin"
"Is that a player?"
"Yes"
**Checks through squad list on Excel drop down**
"Oh you mean Conor Chaplin?"
"Yes"
"Number 10?"
"Yes"
"That's £75 please".
If on the phone or there is a hearing problem, repeat the "Who?" loop around 5 or 6 times.
Or if that's too hard, have a list of players with a unique player ID code that you write down? Fine there's of course scope for human error and you might get an Andreu shirt instead of Chaplin, but the Chapman thing is an embarrassment.
I thought my point was pretty obvious but I suppose I'll have to explain it if you don't understand, keeping a really up to date list requires up to date maintenance & the club is not really geared up to do that, its a 3rd division club with 3rd division resources. Maybe a big club like Manure would keep on top of every squad change but at this level it may not.Fantastic - if you want a Vincenti shirt you could get one. What's your point?
No idea Nick I don't work at the clubs shop nor do I check that they are up to standard, but you'd think we'd ensure that our suppliers have a bit more of a robust system than a deaf bloke on the other end of the phone and a pen and paper? And it's the club's duty to ensure the quality standards of our suppliers if they are outsourcing things.Which computer are they running it on?
Whenever I have had a name they just ask me to write it down and then put the paper with the shirt to be printed.
Easy as that.
So just so I'm really clear (obviously because I have poor understanding) - but you're saying that we do not have the resources to keep an up to date list of who plays for our football club? Because we are in the 3rd division and 3rd division clubs don't have the resources to keep such a list?I thought my point was pretty obvious but I suppose I'll have to explain it if you don't understand, keeping a really up to date list requires up to date maintenance & the club is not really geared up to do that, its a 3rd division club with 3rd division resources.

You know i'm not someone to just jump on the club at every opportunity. This isn't that big a deal but it's embarrassing and pretty amateurish for something that's easily avoidable and should be fixed and never happen again.
It's a big signing that there's been loads of build up to, and it's great that it's created the kind of buzz that means fans are paying to get his name on the back of their shirt. Unfortunately (not neccesarily those people tweeting the pictures) we do have a lot of nobhead fans who will jump on this kind of thing to attack the club and it's easy things like this that we should be getting right. Saying (not you) that we've outsourced it and they are on minimum wage and they aren't coventry fans doesn't really cut it.
