Which muppet can we appoint next?

It'll probably cost us the same amount as we save to undergo consultany. The club accountant and HR could probably achieve the same end at a fraction of the cost.

The statement said "a consultation process". Nothing to suggest any external consultancy is being used. That is merely the formal term for the period where the business "consults" it's staff and at the end of it puts the ones it wants to let go on notice.

Harsh but ultimately true that the club on and off the field need cutbacks.
2001 we employed 89 non-footballers including the hotel..
BWFC do an awful lot of work 'in the community'. They have qualified trainers (in addition to the BWFC football teams coaching staff) who visit most, if not all, of the primary schools in Bolton training 5 to 11 years old kids. I think there might be a contribution (£2 comes to mind) for some after school sessions. The same trainers run school holiday football camps, which have been held at the Lostock pitches and also on the Macron. I have done a quick calculation based on the head count versus the number of trainers and I don't believe the money covers the staff wages.

They are extremely well run by some good people. My 7 year old certainly loves going. As I have not been sent invitations for the training camps in June I suspect the community football coaches will be affected.
Misinformation earlier. The club are still taking booking for June half term and longer training sessions in 12 week blocks.

In my experience, 'consultation period' undoubtedly ends up with some redundancies. Unless it just relates to the players that are out of contract this summer like every club does at the end of each season.
Do not trust atoms. They make up everything.

Not long now, then...More exciting than the actual game...will it be straight after the game or within 48 hours?

Perhaps unlucky for Brunskill. Hands-on coaching role for Jimmy?

Er, thirded. I can still remember THAT appearance on MOTD. Completely without class or dignity. Mind you, if he gets us promoted, I might forgive him. Might.
