Don’t, reading Dean Austin is a mate of Robins everyday is tiresome enough.

In the past I have emailed Doug, Dave and Tynan.

Tynan is the only one never to have replied …..

I don’t necessarily see that. Think doug is quite loyal and gives people clear expectations and if they don’t match up to it he’ll move them on

He may have decided they’ve not done what he needed them to do and proved their worth I accept that

He will probably leave it down to the COO to make any decision in that regard, I'm assuming that the structure is

Level 1 King
Level 2 COO
Level 3 - Heads of Commercial etc etc

To be fair, Joy’s choice of team was better towards the end than at the beginning.

We had some nutters.

Onye Igwe
Ken Deluded

And managers!

Andy Thorn
Slade.

Oh my days.

Whatever happened to that Canadian text sub guy? I thought he put money in, did he write it off?

Boddy did a decent enough job to be fair to him.

It’s just the basic respect towards us fans , that I find our club still league 2 .
Emails to Boddy , just to clarify using our badge etc ……. Hadn’t got the decency to reply …….not rocket science
Same goes for the end of season awards ….. a right cock up , with too many attending & again ( by others ) non reply to emails …….
I just hope Taylor see’s the dead wood behind the scenes & gets rid quick

The chain on management is changing now. So further new appointments will be made during next year.

I mean, with all due respect, he'll likely have forwarded that onto someone else to respond. I'd rather our Chief Exec deal with important club matters than replying to fans asking about badge usage.

Talking of which-did you see him puffing and panting around the pitch with the FA Cup before Mondays Wimbledon Cup tie? Thought he was going to keel over!

I never had time for Duran Duran but for crying out loud when you get into your 60s drop the make up because you look a twat, just like that Robert Smith from the Cure..

John Taylor? He's the COO so his work is mostly if not all non football related

I've lost track of everyone really.

Coventry City - Staff

Trainer, Manager und Co.: Diese Statistik listet alle Mitarbeiter, gegliedert nach ihrer Funktion, von dem Verein Coventry auf, die aktuell für den Verein arbeiten.
www.transfermarkt.co.uk

I wonder what this list would have looked like 18 months ago?

Of course, and I would imagine he is just looking after the off the pitch operation and acting as the middleman between club staff and the owner which is his job - We can't forget that the club was that much of a soap opera we had become accustomed to having to hear from figureheads during the previous regime every other week

If we're honest now the stadium issue is sorted for the foreseeable future there isn't a fat lot for the CEO to update us on, this is just what supporting a club that isn't a basket case is like

Looking at that, and his work at Forest it states this:


Oversee the day-to-day operations of the club including stadium, ticketing, hospitality, catering, retail, grounds, and HR.

Key projects to date include the transition from the EFL to Premier League via the Play-off final ensuring the club was Premier League ready off the field.

Business lead on key infrastructure projects such as the installation of a new Hybrid pitch at the City Ground to allow further commercial opportunities.

So if we apply that here

Stadium - no doubt we're in a better place with this. Fairly secure tenancy, safe standing etc. Still a few grumbles but improvement seen
Ticketing - Still a bit of a farce. Many people not happy
Hospitality - People moan about the increased costs, but the options for packages seem better. Can't comment on the experience over there as not been in the posh bit since Wrexham
Catering - odd hiccups, but generally the offer seems better
Retail - kits still a little late, but hard to argue this has been anything but a success for us recently (was in a strong position before Taylor came in though).
Hard to judge how much of a success he's been, but he's definitely not failed. He may do in the future, but currently seems to be doing ok
