Said this on FacebookCan't knock him.....absolutely listens to feedback and makes the changes immediately. Some will say (me included) he should've known about potential frustrations from supporters but not everyone is perfect.
Wonder what areas are under target. There's probably a few people who have been around the club along time that are maybe a bit to relaxed and complacent in their roles. Think some of them might be getting told they need to up their game or move on.We are investing in external third party reviews of such areas and I will also be personally shifting my attention to those areas
I think the club shop and the manufacturing of shirts and other merchandise comes across as an area where we’re missing an opportunity. Seems like there are issues every year - even accepting that things are delayed by what I assume is Doug driving a hard bargain on sponsorship.Wonder what areas are under target.

Exactly and over time you hope the 80:20 will rise to 95:5Said this on Facebook
Decision makers who try new things will make mistakes. Probably 80:20
I think he matches up well
have said thanks to John Taylor
i dont think thats what he is talking about is he? i've got a JSB in main stand, and that was never in question. Isn't it JSBs that dont have any season tickets at all.300 from 4K, that is quite a number of JSB's who populate other parts of the ground!
effectively 300 are paying £50 or so for a JSB training session, a bag of goodies and some vouchers.
I'm the same as you in that respect and wouldn't want to do anything negative to affect my customers. I do remember doing a training course about 30/35 years ago and they actually reckoned that rectifying a mistake like this and owning up to it would make you look better than not making the mistake in the first place.I ran my own business for over 25 years and never made a decision that negatively impacted my customers, nor did I have to backtrack and look a bit silly. Keep maximising income and make customers happy is a fine balancing act.
I was just going off Dougs comment in this update that said 350 or so were impacted by not being allowed to be a JSB without a season ticket. assume the other 3600 or so are season ticket holders as wellWasnt it over 3000? It's easy money for the club.

He has had to backtrack at least three times now on similar decisions that have proven unpopular (IMO obviously so that they should never have been put in in the first place) and need to be reversed. So fact that it is still happens does make you wonder if he is actually learning from it. I can understand he will have his businessman head on most of the time but it does give an impression that he doesn't get the outcry each time and is just reacting to the bad PR it's getting. Is he just willing to try it on each time to see if he can get away with it?At least he listens to feedback and acts on it. Yes he’ll probably reflect back on his error, but at least it’s been reversed.
Don’t go again then until after King leaves. You will feel less conflicted, and no one will miss your “support”.I support Coventry City, not Doug King

. If you can’t see the difference between SISU and King then I suspect Coventry city is the least of your challenges.Did you say the same to those who sang sisu out?
I will attend almost every game home and away as I do every season and have done my entire life. I bet you don't.
That's apology* pal.Maybe he'll issue another apologie for this
Well yeah fair point but he’s already proven to be better, if he continues in this light then no way he can be regarded as a bad ownerWell I guess we will find out in the coming years but that's not a high bar
great, that's not how successful businesses operate anymore, I'm also not sure what you're business did but I'm sure it's incomparable to running a football clubI ran my own business for over 25 years and never made a decision that negatively impacted my customers, nor did I have to backtrack and look a bit silly. Keep maximising income and make customers happy is a fine balancing act.
Are you a multi millionaire ? If so fair play to you .I ran my own business for over 25 years and never made a decision that negatively impacted my customers, nor did I have to backtrack and look a bit silly. Keep maximising income and make customers happy is a fine balancing act.
I’m pretty sure the JSB decision would have been taken by the Commercial team, as it fell within their delegation of authority…
Doug took the blame, in the eyes of the fans, and was forced to step in to reverse the decision.
I think the statement is an elegant way of saying that Doug will now be taking more of an active role in overseeing all commercial decisions, while a new, more capable team is put in place. Expect to see Tynan on his way imminently, and not before time…
TS is both useless and a proven liar. I have the evidence to prove it.Blokes been stealing a living for ages evidently
My old source claimed he's only where he is due to blowing smoke up the right people's arsed yet being fucking useless at his actual role
Was that that gash low alcohol lager?And caliber
Don't worry, it's just another brief appearance from Boosh.Don’t go again then until after King leaves. You will feel less conflicted, and no one will miss your “support”.
He has, and I would bet he knows he has and, more importantly, willing to learn.A U-turn on JSB membership is welcome but could have avoided the shambles to start with. Still got a lot to learn.

£37 for fixture against a top 6 Prem side is not unreasonable at all…It does kind of fall on his failure really, after all we are doing the funding without the essential corporate attendance.
Which leaves the shortfall that has probably led to the pricing being employed for the Spurs fixture?
