There are many business environments however where such family relationships between staff would not be permitted because it creates potential issues of favouritism.

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted May 2, 2021 Yes I'm not sure Bobby and Jack should both have played in 1966. And the Murphy twins.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps you prove my point in that the Charlton's did not play for the same Club. Maybe it was seen as not the right thing to do. Society had principles in those days.

essex canary 623 Posted May 3, 2021 Clearly there are quite rightly many successful small family businesses. Large corporations though need to demonstrate objectivity. Question then becomes where does a football club in the Premier League fit in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Give it a rest. The majority shareholders of that club soon to be in the Premier League are a marreid couple as well. Edited May 3, 2021 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newtopia 573 Posted May 3, 2021 Lots of big companies have multiple family members in them. I think Webber has been so professional that he will have set up a succession plan, and make sure the club has the best opportunity to be successful when they leave. That is my concern when all the key players are meant to change at once, thank goodness Delia and Michael should be around for the transition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted May 3, 2021 Exactly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The point is that there are so many nuances, so many individual situations that to try to cover it with a generalisation inferring favouritism just fails to work.

Society had principles in those days. Bobby and Jack were related to the Milburn family. Obviously they only got to play professional football because of their famous uncles 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,610 Posted May 4, 2021 I have no problem with having a married couple in two of the senior roles at the club provided there is someone else there in that senior managementn team capable of keeping an eye on matters and stepping in where objectivity is needed. I remain a little concerned at the Farke/Webber contract position next summer and would like to know who at the club is looking out for us in that scenario.
