I have just heard that Steve Uttley has been made redundant. Does anyone know about this? Not sure what Steve did. Photos and programme?
-
Think his official title was Press Officer!

You're far too clever for me Sheepskin Stu
-
Sad for Steve if true. But begs a few questions too. It could be a consequence of percieved (alleged) weakness in performing his role. Or, it could be a re-statement of the new reality. No money. In either case, quite what it means for club comms is going to be interesting.

Indeed Bob. It's an interesting development depending on the reasons behind it, which of course we have no right to know.
-
It would be an interesting test of the strength of irwt to see if the club will confirm or deny this rumour about someone who has been at the club for years and worked his socks of with very little support

For me one thing seems obvious from the episodes of the last 4-6 weeks is that Rovers are in dire need of a competent,qualified,able public reations person,no more crappy emails or communication with gullible fools on Facebook.Someone able to get the message out to fans,i read shyte about Coppinger not being offered a "new deal" and fans think he hasn't been offered one at all,same for Wellens,our club and i see it as a VSC matter is not in the hands of someone that should be on this and getting out where the club stands and i cite the way in which a paid employee was doing his best to promote the Crowdfunder rubbish. Whilst at the same time i realised as a fan it was built on sand and did my best to rip the shyte out of it at every opportunity.I may have not given every reason for my thinking this way but i hope the sentiment is understood,we need someone able to communicate with us,step forward SM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMjg-yIdw9w (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMjg-yIdw9w)

Steve Uttley was the club's main press officer/media manager for around 15 years before the nonsensical decision to merge the media and marketing departments.
It resulted in Shaun Lockwood, who had little previous experience of dealing with the media, taking charge as communications manager.
Uttley was good at his job but had been close to John Ryan, as was Dave Parker who recently got the chop.
Wonder who's next?
Incidentally, does anyone know the reason why photographs of JR have recently been removed from the ground?
-
John's pictures haven't been removed. They were still all in place this last week when I visited the club.

It's got nothing to do with IRWT.
-
Is this a done deal, or a rumour from a source at the club?
-
In the Bradford Park Avenue clubhouse before the friendly match one or two people were congratulating Steve Uttley about his new job/position.
From what I heard it seemed that he was going to work for JR.
Whether this went belly up when the takeover failed or he had a change of mindI don't know.
I'm sure that the club will make a statement thanking him for all that he has done in his time here.

Surely you mean working for the Crowdfunder?
-
I don't know the ins and outs, I just overheard the congratulations and one of the lads said did you hear that? Sounds like he's working for JR now.
I didn't pay too much attention and he still appeared at all Rovers games so thought no more of it.
-
BPA friendly was on 9th July, just days before the crowdfunder takeover collapsed
-
There are some classic photos that mean Steve's work will always be associated with the club.

Your initial statement was that John's photos had been removed from the ground. Now you're asking if they've been removed from the boardroom. Why don't you just make the statement that you want to?
-
I dont think I've ever been in the boardroom. Clearly, Lifelong has.
Hang on, just need to see if my axe needs a grind whilst we have a specialist amongst us.
-
I think most DRFC fans and people associated with the club appreciate the time and work Steve Uttley has put into the club all these years and would like to thank him for the historic photos he has taken of all the DRFC legends over the past 15+ years.

Are you asking a question or making a statement? It appears to me that you know the answer but are asking for reasons other than the natural inquisitive nature of most fans on here. So, are we talking specifically about the boardroom?
-
Of course, now that I'm more awake than I was at stupid o'clock last night, there is one other possibility underlying this alleged course of events. To mix several metaphors at once, if this has happened it could be that at long last the Board of Directors is now in a position to clean the stable of what has, for a very long time indeed, been a very leaky and very disloyal ship. I don't personally know who might have been disloyal and I do not mean to imply that Steve Uttley is in any way such a person, but we all know very well that the club has been fighting itself, and leaking in the interest of one side or another, for ages and ages. It's more than time this was stopped. A confident and strong Board will certainly make it one of its first tasks. Without control there's nothing. That was one of the major weaknesses of the previous regime.

PS I still can't stop laughing every time I think of 'cocoa shunter'! Stu: you owe me big time. Or is it I that owes you?!

Yes, but why are you asking about the Boardroom specifically?
-
Good move IMO.
-
My personal opinion is, is that I think Steve has been treated very harshly, Steve does loads to benefit the club, is it because he nailed his colours to John Ryans mast ? The photographs from all home and away games, organising the media team, sorting out the press box, Steve attends EVERY, home and away games, reserve fixtures and some youth games Tell me who is going to get back from the likes of Crawley at 3 in the morning and get reports and photos out. The DVD's, the media team produces for the ref and opposistion managers and Paul Dickov, He does lots of work outside his hours, Trax FM show, attending meetings. Yes Rovers player has not been up to the standard required, and has had to scrape the barrel in getting me to commantate on the service in years gone by, but it's not a Rovers based operation. He organised the majority of the Inca trek walk, raising 50k for the NSPCC, he has always been supportive of the Supporters Club, original member of the VSC, and was so for many years. Good luck Steve in whatever you do.
-
I don't think many people would argue with most of that Paul, although there's always more that meets the eye with situations like this. If it is redundancy he faces, then means the position is redundant. And in fairness when Gavin was asked this at your AGM, he said it would be a business decision, a point which no-one at the AGM argued.
-
In my experience, when positions 'become redundant' it usually means that bosses can lawfully manipulate changes in staff by simply giving the position a different title.
-
Its happening all over the country at the moment. Football clubs are no different. Falling incomes mean lower budgets.
I got a letter giving me 90 days consultation on restructure proposals on Thursday, as we have c£24M to save off our budget in the next 2 years. Possible redundancy notice to follow.
-
We have them often it is part of business and in this case a very private matter I'd say.
-
If it's not actually happened yet, who leaked it? And why? I smell skullduggery once again. Looks like immediate proof of the points I made above doesn't it? Leaking for an agenda. Given the stoic silence of the KM2 despite vast amounts of provocation over months and months, I suspect the leak emanates from the other side - and has been done for a purpose. Now what purpose could there be in leaking the story that someone is about to be let go? There's only 2 possibilities aren't there?
1) encourage a public outcry to keep the chap on board, or,
2) an attempt to increase his pay off
Either way, that would be an attempt to strong arm the Board of Directors. Naughty.
Who told you this story Roversonthe up? serious question. I'd like to know. It might shed more light.
BobG
-
I really don't want anyone to get into any trouble here. I was enquiring about getting hold of some rovers photos and was told Steve had been made redundant. It was all very innocent. Not going to put anyone's names in lights as that doesn't seem fair.
Nothing sinister going on but I wasn't told with a view to stirring anything up.
-
Steve Uttley told a workmate of mine at the Scunny match last week. I know that to be true as I saw them having a lengthy and serious conversation at half time.

Perhaps I should rephrase the question.
Does anyone know the reason why photographs of JR have recently been removed from the ground, which also includes the boardroom?

Here's the answer - Yes someone does know.
But most people don't really care.

P.S. Maybe any images that have been removed had the coppywrite held by Mr Uttley and he just took them, pur speculation mind!
-
Lifelong, I would guess that the person who told you the photographs had been removed might be a good place to start?

But if he did that he would n't be able to ask a leading question, now who was it that dors n't like leading questions? ;)

Thank you Roversontheup. Fair enough. One of the characteristics of any site like this is that people tend to read an awful lot into snippets where there actually is very little. The problem is caused by not enough breadth of information and by a peculiar passion. This time around I guess the overwhelming probability is that there's nowt going on other than normal business practices. Someome has spoken to a friend - and it's mushroomed.
Cheers

Yep, some people like growing mushrooms.
-
Yes Bob. I think you are spot on. I regret having asked the question in the first place. I should have realised what sort of discussion it would spark.
-
Once again people get half a tale and decide what actually has happened for themselves..There could be a hundred reasons why this has taken place..
-
Does anyone know the reason why photographs of JR have recently been removed from the ground, which also includes the boardroom?
No photos of JR have been removed from anywhere as far as I know. Why do you think any have? If you believe that some have, please let us know which ones in particular so we can double check for you.

I don't know.
That was the question I was asking.
But as nobody seems to think they have perhaps we should leave it there.
The thread was about a man losing his job and that's the most important issue.

I've known Steve for a long time, he has been a loyal and hard working servant of Doncaster Rovers, very sorry he has been let go by the club, it will be the poorer for it.

Erm, no it wasn't the question you originally asked. You asked why they have been removed, not if any have been removed. A definite statement about a definite action, not an enquiry whether that action has taken place.
-
Sometimes i come on here when i'm feeling a bit low. Then i see fully grown adults arguing about completely irrelevant things.. Gives me a chuckle
-
dont know if jr photos have been removed or not but wouldnt be surprised the current crap thats running the club probably dont want reminding what a great job jr did for 15 years,sorry if utterly has gone another great servant,probably mayfield next doing too good a job organising the buses etc

Translates as " I know nothing but will still have a dig at our owners for the hell of it"

How long has being secretary of a branch of the supporters club been on the payroll of the club?

I may be completely wrong but that statement sounds like the sort of thing I expect from someone who knows absolutely nothing about the running of the club and understands even less. It's so easy to follow others and criticise something or someone without having the faintest idea what the actual true facts are.
-
you might be right roversontheup but would you like to list the experiance of running a football club of mr bramhall,mr blunt and mr watson,buisness men maybe but give me their football club experiance mr watson aside cant find any history of any connection to runnig a club,and his connection was with jr
-
I belive Mr Mayfield was stoppd from commentating on Rovers matches under the tenure of a previous owner?

Acko-you are talking out of your arse. Now go bore someone else!

And what relevance does this have to the thread title?
It appears that your thinking has been influenced by the loudmouths, and you know very little, if anything, about what you are on about!
-
you obviously couldnt give me an answer filo,surprises me you give the impression you know it all but i give my remarks like everyone else not to be insulted,been supporting rovers home and away for 60 years,and make a decent living out of football.but to please you i will cancel my registration with vsc from this moment

Whilst this is off topic I'm not sure what your implying here Acko.
With the possible exception of being on board in the early 90's when Richardson took control I don't think we can really say JR had any experience of owning a Football Club prior to taking ownership in 99 either and it never went against him. In fact I don't think many owners can safely say they have a previous record or running a football club(s). Those that are very good at it tend to stay at those clubs.
I would also say that it isn't the Board's job to run a club, it's their role to set the budgets and direction of the club and provide funding (if necessary), its usually the CEO who is tasked with running the club.

Glyn, you're quite right.
I misread what you said.
Either way it doesn't get Mr Uttley his job back.

Last December I went on the stadium tour and as far as I remember there were plenty of JR photos and memorabilia in the board room

It's post like Pauls above that really annoy me..The fact that he felt the need to stop doing that because of idiots who have got nothing better to do than snipe at people who are prepared to give there time and effort while not prepared to do anything themselves is a negative of social media..For the record mate I thought your commentary's were brilliant and I prefer to hear the game from a fans point of view..

Because that's where I heard the photos had been removed from.
Perhaps now you can 'double check' as previously promised and let us all know if it is the case or not.
As I said before the thread is about a long serving, hardworking employee losing his job.
Have you any comment to make about that?

No photos have been removed from the Boardroom. Seems your 'source' doesn't know as much as you think he does. I'm sure you'd agree that if anyone is leaking incorrect and damaging information from the club it should be stopped?
-
I must say that I think Paul Mayfield's ( Retford Rovers 's ) post is very significant . I know of nobody who have given such unselfish support to Rovers and fellow fans for the last thirty years . The fact that he felt driven away by comments on here should ring alarm bells to everyone but especially to those who created the forum as essentially a vehicle of SUPPORT to our club .
I am insignificant compared to Paul though I have unselfsishly and positively supported Roves for 50 years . I used to draw energy and even enjoyment from following and posting on this forum. I stopped posting weeks ago because I was tired of such negativism against the Board; PD; young players like Hubby and Wakefield even against fellow supporters who were supportive . That a fellow supporter like Paul who is undoubtedly an ideal supporter should feel as he does only serves to convince me that the forum no longer serves the club and it's fan base as it set out to do. Are the anti VSC chants aimed at the Co operative or at the forum I wonder. I hope you survive as a supportive forum of fans long term but I'm afraid I shall no longer be around. You have snuffed out another positive flame of support. .

I thought you was good if I'm honest. When I was working in Florida I wanted to hear commentary from a fans point of view and that's what I got. I much preferred shouts of 'what's he doing there' to what we get from some commentators.
-
There is only Glen who is any good from the current crop, the rest are dire. They try to be proffesional and they are just not up to it. At least Paul was just himself, I much preferred listening to this latest crop of Tyler and Gray wannabe's.
-
While Paul has done do much for the fans and the club,I pay for player and sometimes found it hard to keep up with where the ball was and sometimes who had the ball

Very sad to hear that Steve Uttley has left the club, if that is indeed true. Steve is one of the people at the very heart of this club, he's been very helpful towards me several times in recent years and has always been great to talk to about the club.

Interesting that you would think the removal of JR's pictures would be damaging to the club.

Isn't that your objective Lifelong? Not heard any positive things from you about anything really, only opportunistic stirrings.
Our boardroom at work doesn't have any pictures of any ex-board members on the wall. If, JR's picture had been removed, would you have a problem with that?
-
Nowt like a good bit of blood letting. It's neccesary sometimes. It's been neccesary at DRFC for several years. If they're not careful this is going to end up as a well run club. Christ. Imagine that.

The fact that he felt driven away by comments on here should ring alarm bells to everyone but especially to those who created the forum as essentially a vehicle of SUPPORT to our club .
I am insignificant compared to Paul though I have unselfsishly and positively supported Roves for 50 years . I used to draw energy and even enjoyment from following and posting on this forum. I stopped posting weeks ago because I was tired of such negativism against the Board; PD; young players like Hubby and Wakefield even against fellow supporters who were supportive . That a fellow supporter like Paul who is undoubtedly an ideal supporter should feel as he does only serves to convince me that the forum no longer serves the club and it's fan base as it set out to do. Are the anti VSC chants aimed at the Co operative or at the forum I wonder. I hope you survive as a supportive forum of fans long term but I'm afraid I shall no longer be around. You have snuffed out another positive flame of support. .
Sorry to see you leaving the forum again Bri but look forward to seeing you this weekend

Because that's where I heard the photos had been removed from.
Perhaps now you can 'double check' as previously promised and let us all know if it is the case or not.
As I said before the thread is about a long serving, hardworking employee losing his job.
Have you any comment to make about that?
No photos have been removed from the Boardroom. Seems your 'source' doesn't know as much as you think he does. I'm sure you'd agree that if anyone is leaking incorrect and damaging information from the club it should be stopped?
I suggest you go and have a look for yourself Glyn.
Interesting that you would think the removal of JR's pictures would be damaging to the club.
Sorry to contradict you Lifelong but I can categorically state beyond any shadow of doubt that no photos of JR have been removed from the stadium.
I can't divulge my sources for this information but I can only assure you this is 100% fact.

Back on topic, Steve Uttley has confirmed that he's been made redundant. Anyone know why?

Surely the person who knows is the person who is affected?

Normally it's because the position no longer exists.
I imagine Mr Uttley will have been informed, especially as you say he has confirmed that he has been made redundant.

Shit happens, I've been made redundant 3 times during my working life, no one felt sorry for me!

With that statement, can we assume that you have had a look for yourself?
