Comms & Marketing Manager & Assistant Vacancies

[Filo]

Had the pleasure of a call from Shaun this morning telling me his news and reflecting what he's tweeted. A sign of his high regard for the club and us fans that he chose to contact some of us personally. He said he'll continue to keep in touch and may put his two penneth in from time to time from a supporters perspective. Just make sure he pays his subs!

I've had a few calls from Shaun recently regarding the Rovers player issues, he always came across as honest, open and genuine in our conversations, I wish him well in his future career path

Well we have a few self proclaimed marketing experts amongst us, maybe one would like to apply and show us all how its done

It's Frosty's golden opportunity!

[Wellred]

Why pick out Frosty? I am sure there are plenty on here who would consider themselves better.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Because he's the one who has consistently criticised the way things are done. This is his perfect opportunity to do things his way!

I think Lockwood probably started to look for other jobs when he had to take on the role of communications manager while still being in charge of the marketing department.
Far from spending more time with his family it meant he had to deal with the press and travel the length and breadth of the country to away matches which he didn't do before.
The whole problem stems from the ridiculous decision to merge the marketing and media departments...and now both Uttley and Lockwood have gone.
I still find it strange that Uttley should be given the boot and then we are advertising for another communications assistant in addition to Lockwood's job.
Is someone else leaving or have those in charge suddenly realised it's harder to manage the workload that was undertaken by Uttley than they previously thought?

Hasn't your person in the know told you?

Life long supporter finally it dawns but there again there are those that will shoot it down.
As one famous bloke once said  Forgive them Lord for they know not what they have done.
I bet they do now.

Why don't we all change the flag of rovers players celebrating at Wembley to there's only one Shaun Lockwood?
 I know, it's ridiculous, but you never know.

What about the 15th minute of the next home game we all begin a chant of There's only one ...

You know what BFDoncaster West, I'm thinking that you are beginning to overplay your hand. If I were you, I'd shut up a bit or others are going to rumble you. And then where would you be?

wot hand

[Tiddysdad]

I feel sad that Shaun is leaving too. I always find him willing to listen to ideas and criticisms and to give straight answers . He is able to inform you about what is going on without betraying any information best kept in house and confidential ... the mark of an honest pro . I know he thinks highly of the club and his colleagues and hope the club allow and encourage him to say a few words to fans  on  DROS before he leaves .

A Gent - Mr Lockwood

[BillyStubbsTears]

I got the measure of Shaun a couple of years ago.

I'd had a shite of a week and was trying to book tickets for me a Stubbs-Tears jnr for a match. But the website was down and the ticket office phone was going straight to voicemail.

After an hour of cursing, I wrote an embarrassing tirade on here, slagging off everything about the club.

Within 10 mins, I'd received a PM from Shaun, personally offering to sort out my tickets and apologising for the IT systems that the club had inherited from the previous KMS management company.

A gent who clearly cared about what he was trying to do. You can't ask for more than that. In fact, d**kheads like me shouldn't expect to get a service like that.

If you're reading this Shaun, I wish you well in whatever you are going into. You care about what you do and that's the most that anyone can ask for.

[graingrover]

I hope you stay on the forum Shaun .. good luck and fortune in your new job and thanks for all your thoughtfulness.

I've been thinking similar Bob.
I've made apologies for my reaction to these posts but I sometimes wonder......
