Mario Harpershite 20 Posted June 16, 2021 17 minutes ago, chicken said: Really, in every line of work I have been in, it is linked to length of service. Sounds very much like the old school deals with golden handshakes at the end which are very much history of the vast majority of jobs these days. I doubt he'd get a 6 month notice period three days after starting the job. Or even a year. I can tell you now, those more senior to me who have been under the same employer for a decade more are still on the same notice period as me. I’m not debating standard HR practices on here! 😅 As I said, I would be very surprised if someone in such a senior role had a notice period of a month in any business so I am drawing conclusions about what’s gone on from that. Purely my opinion based on my own experience and I could of course be wrong but I think he’s been given the push and none of the briefings one way or the other to the press have made me think otherwise. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dafabet had similar websites to BK8 but no one said anything and Kendall would naturally expect no issue to arise. Then it reached the attention of the supporters trust who have feminists and LGBT activists among their members and it all kicked off.

shefcanary 2,412 Posted June 16, 2021 13 minutes ago, chicken said: That is still not the "vast majority" of people is it? As was claimed at the time. I have known executives not to get a 6month notice period. It very much depends upon the size of the company and the roll of the executive. I know someone given the position of a director, but was the only person in their department. I said senior executive, not Director! Kelsall was the most senior paid executive not of the football side. His contract would have been drafted to ensure any terms of his notice was tax efficient for all parties. The club would not have wanted to lose such a senior executive at short notice, but such things work both ways. So it would have been long (it's a football club after all, when a Manager gets sacked he invariably gets his whole remaining contract period paid off, why would a senior executive conscious of that not seek commensurate notice). Anyway the point is, Kelsall was a continuous cockup merchant, BK8 was the latest in a long list of ill thought through policies, he is gone not because "wokies" got him but because he was turning out to be crap at his job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WD40 720 Posted June 16, 2021 I don’t doubt the claims of others that it was Ben Tunnell that sourced the deal and did most of the heavy lifting, but Kensell was ultimately accountable and has to wear this. I’m interested to see if there is another sponsor lined up so this could now be announced, or the new sponsor selection will now be run by Tunnell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard he was the real instigator of said sponsorship after losing a few quid down the Brickies. Oh well. Dalila Smack will be happy now her newtphew won't be upset by dodgy imagery.

Any senior executive taken on gets a minimum 6 months notice period if it is a permanent appointment (for tax reasons). After three years service, that notice period doubles. Shef you will need to explain how a notice period affects the tax position? I’ve been a main board director for 20 years and if you are correct I need to change my advisors!!
