You would think they'd be delighted at all this freshening up across different roles within the club. 🙃 There has been concern/surprise towards the end of the season regarding the staff exodus at Carrow Road especially the departure of Lynette Hannant Head of Supporter Services and the lack of a replacement for months played its part in poor communications between the club and the fans. I would hardly call that ' stale '. The media department by the way which is a team of 6 is just about to lose the 5th person since January which in my humble opinion seems a rather excessive turnover. A vacancy for a new programme editor if anybody fancies it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny Foggo 1,116 Posted June 26, 2022 21 hours ago, kirku said: Completely agree. A health and safety manager or head of catering at a football club is far from a "key worker" (ignoring the fact that phrase is generally reserved for people who keep society functioning). They will both be replaced in short order and their departures will have no impact at all on the strategic direction of the organisation Surely the amount of people leaving is a bit of a cause for concern, it that this means, either staff are not happy or staff are being poached with iffers of better pay etc. If its a happy ship, people don't leave. The amount of departures is a worry. To dismiss it out if hand is a bit daft really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You really are taking this very personally though, the joke wasn’t on you originally, but when you didn’t see the obvious it did, but rather than see the funny side of your misunderstanding you’ve taken it all seriously. Who do you think is actually going to take your bet? What a pointless bet it is anyway, what are you trying to determine through it? That Ipswich will do better in a markedly worse standard of football than we will in a better one? Its totally incomparable.

BroadstairsR 2,188 Posted June 27, 2022 For a League One club, with only mid-Chumps mediocrity as a probable limit of their current capabilities, they do seem to be stacking up with backroom staff. Some Premier League clubs might well be envious of the army of support staff that they seem to be filling the offices of Portman Road or the associated playing fields with. It's almost reaching gravy train proportions, it would seem. Thinking big is one thing, paying big is another, and I wonder at the losses that will have already arisen and will continue to accumulate down there in deepest Suffolk. Evans needed to plough in some £4m a year to just keep the club afloat, and he was considered too frugal by most, with a badly maintained ground being the foremost example of this. The first accounts since the new regime came in will be interesting, as will an assessment of the patience of the investors. How long will it take before the penny drops, and they realise that they have bought a pup? How much will they need to lose before they jump ship? One thing is for sure ... that promotion from the lower leagues is vital, and sooner rather than later. It won't improve the financial pressures but will, at least, be a sticking plaster. What is their new motto. "Fighting adversity?" You can say that again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenfoggo 247 Posted June 27, 2022 When concerned about staff retention you must look at why staff leave to go to a rival. More often than not it is because the culture at the employer makes it hard to stay and easy to go. For instance is there no sense of team spirit or community, do their best efforts appear to be unappreciated. Alarm bells should be ringing that Norwich City appears to have a high turnover of staff, whether key workers, essential or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The head of acadamy coaching isn't exclusive to NCFC. Only recently we had member of the acadamy coaching set up leave for a role with scouting at West Ham. People leave jobs for many reasons, are you saying in a 12 year career that someone doesn't consider whether there are better options elsewhere and if one becomes available they wouldn't consider it?

I know that you have an anti-club agenda and like to try to fit everything into this, but there are other possibilities. I have no idea of whom you are talking possibilities include promotion as was the case with Dean Wright; fear of restructuring and redundancy or even may have been facing performance measures. Even if you are correct and she was unhappy, this is no big deal really is it? Many people are unhappy in their work for a variety of reasons. She was a junior member of staff and whilst I'm sure we all wish her well in her career choice, it is hardly a matter of significance and tbh, I am not sure that it is appropriate that you raise it, if she is identifiable (I don't have a clue if this is the case, but I don't find the internal micro-politics surrounding the periphery of the club as fascinating as you seem to.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,776 Posted June 27, 2022 So giving my opinion on a range of things including no Chairman, no CEO, no head of supporter services which has been well discussed on here not by just me about poor PR and lack of communication by the club is viewed as an anti club agenda ?
