Interesting- does this mean that Shaun Lockwood is moving on?

[silent majority]

It does I'm afraid.

[Sheepskin Stu]

Not surprising really. He would be an asset to any club.

[acko]

is it his choice

[silent majority]

is it his choice

Yes it definitely was.

[Al4475]

Yep it is - he wants less hours closer to his young family and is taking up a similar position in a business/company near his home base!

[knockers]

Bit strange that as Homebase is only about a mile from the ground

All these changes at the club make me wonder what is going on. I'm sure many others feel the same. The situation is starting to get on our Wickes.

Dont worry though lads and lasses we can do it if we B&Q it

Said Steve Uttley would not be the last. I know that it is Shauns choice in this instance but I cannot help but see that this comes so soon after Steve, s departure. It has come as no surprise to me as I said in my rant at the time Shaun was not happy at Steve going I fear he has been left with too much to do and not enough to do it with I liked the bloke and I wish him well. There are also 2 other people going this month but cannot say until it is announced officially. It makes you wonder what is going on.

[Bentley Bullet]

It seems to me that the Focus is on saving money.

[silent majority]

Its not the work load he's concerned about, nor is it any kind of back-room issue. The club is probably better run today than its ever been.

Shaun is doing what we all do, he's looking at what's best for him and for his young family. Working for a football club involves unsociable hours, I would suggest that's the major reason.

If its some kind of cost cutting exercise, then why advertise two jobs are available and seek to grow the department?

[deebee]

If they are not cutting costs then why did they get rid of Steve?. When asked at the Retford branch agm Gavin Baldwin said in all industries costs had to be saved while not singling any one out but that was the reason.

[Bentley Bullet]

Whatever the outcome of the comings and goings we can only hope it Texas to the promised land.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

There's a difference between cost cutting and value for money???

[Bentley Bullet]

Yes, you just have to look at the first team to see that!

[deebee]

Please explain.

[scaley back rover]

Maybe its a big job that takes more than one person to Do It All

[Bentley Bullet]

Maybe its a big job that takes more than one person to Do It All

No! I reckon reducing costs is the general Ikea.

[Muttley]

Can't we just stick to the topic? All these dreadful puns are really getting on my Wickes.

[knockers]

A prog rock group from out Maltby way!

[deebee]

On the serious side the club marketing, media and communication department is now rudderless. The point that it is better run than it ever was is questionable. It seems to be the biggest cause of criticism on here than any other topic. I cannot understand why they need to have two departments with seperate budgets ie commercial and marketing that surely would work better together.  If the two combined they would work perfectly hand in hand by exchanging ticket and sponsor promotions in exchange for advertising and promoting the the club..

who going

[graingrover]

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 .
