Dave Boddy leaving in January - John Taylor in! (1 Viewer)

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

Has someone hacked your account?

Last time I heard you discuss Boddy, the words 'non-league CEO' were mentioned!

I think you’ll find that was by our wonderful head of recruitment, Dean Austin, who has been as much use as Russel Slade’s hairdryer.

I’m sure Doug King is busy prancing around his office to his silly song, thinking of a way to charge £30 for Oxford at home tickets, but as soon as he’s done, I’m sure he will be busy scowling non-league for a Boddy replacement.

Now he’s just some Boddy that we used to know.

Dave has commenced urgent discussions with the board about his time coming to an end

He was shite

Yeah a SISU puppet.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Personally, I'd like to thank DB. He gave my (at the time, fledgling) business the chance to look after the teams hotel stuff. Now in my 4th season do this for the club I love, I owe him a lot for giving me that chance.

I'll leave it for others to discuss how he rates. The few times I met him, he came across as a decent guy.

Good luck to him in his next venture.

I don't think it's coincidence that the rise from L2 started with his appointment. A major upgrade on Fisher. But 7 years in the job is a long time, and it's probably time for fresh ideas

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Made mistakes but a hugely successful tenure as ceo

 

[higgs]

Seems a decent bloke we are in a much better position now from where he started out with us good luck in the future Mr Boddy

While eating his McDonalds.
Last of the Sisu stooges to leave the building but in fairness he repaired a lot of the damage between the fans and the club.
Not sure he sits as well with fans of Worcester City…….

 

[sw88]

Didn’t see that coming!…

I did as soon as they announced the COO vacancy

Shame, as despite the reservations when he first arrived I think he has actually done a decent job whilst here.

He’s seen us through a lot, but has just got on with it.

Good luck Dave

Amazing

It mentions new appointments in due course, not necessarily a like for like replacement though?

His brother?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Seemed a down to earth, honest genuine chap. Club has grown phenomenally during his tenure. He's done his job. All the best to him.

The “…” was sarcasm.

 

[alexccfc99]

Say what you want but if SISU had appointed someone like Dave Boddy years earlier instead of putting their own people in charge of the day to day running of the club I’d hedge my bets and say the recent history of this football club would look very different

 

[Peter Billing Eyes]

If it’s a like for like replacement, Bill Oddie must be close to getting a call.

 

[Kilclines curly mullet]

Met Boddy on a number of occasions outside the ground and even at service stations on the way to and from games.

Always spoke openly and was as up front as he could be

Decisions were taken \ made above his head which he had to get on with whether he liked it or not

I personally think that he has done a good job in difficult circumstances and was approachable unlike Fisher etc

I wish him well.

To be fair the one key decision the club got right in the past 6/7 years was to re-hire robins. that was a Fisher decision

 

[Saddlebrains]

So since Kings came in, the people who resigned are:
Boddy
Head of finance
Head of HR
Head analyst
Head physio

And all king has done is promote Tynan Scope whos pony at his job

If you don't treat your staff right

 

[Hobo]

He gave his notice months and months ago.

We've had years of people saying the club is run terribly and the people employed are clueless. Are we now going to do a 180 as people are leaving and pretend everyone was amazing and we won't be able to cope without them?

Not at all

Just adds credence i feel to what i was told during the kit fiasco, Dougs came in and decided he wants to run every facet of the club and it's not a nice place to work (at the time probably better now)

From what i gather he has now started listening to those around him and realised you cant run a football club like a fucking vegetable oil empire so lets hope

And that’s only natural right. People leaving is also natural under new leadership, heard opposite actually that new opportunities, process and structure trying to be put in place and there is a plan.

Everyone hates change and it’s often painful, but doesn’t mean it’s bad.

A good leader also listens and sounds like that’s a tick now also.

long way to go, think we will be ok.

Seems a very big step forward in terms of quality for us this appointment

He won't be on pennies

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Erm…who’s drafting these things?

and provide valuable insight and knowledge for Coventry City on the journey to the Premier League.

Confidence is key

Makes it sound like someone is expecting us to be in the Premier League in the near future!…

Fisher appointed Robins and Robins would never be here if it wasn’t for Fisher. He actually was far far superior but was just basically the Lap dog for Sappalla

Anderson was also okay in his short time - helped structure a deal which the club has still been benefitting from 7 years later.

 

[clint van damme]

New fella in already.



Hope he's OK combining this role with running his Earlsdon butchers shop
