New club statement (5 Viewers)

[Nick]

How many of us pledge our love for our workplace only to leave a few weeks later?

Leave with our blessing? At most companies now when you resign you are escorted off the premises that day! No company sends off their ex employees with their blessing.

I love my workplace but if somebody offered me loads more money and prospects id be silly to say no?

Got a gut feeling this will be only part of the bad news coming our way............... worrying times ahead I feel

 

[coundonskyblue]

I think what SISU did to this club was disgusting.

However, this is categorically not their fault.

Mark Robins; No Loyalty, his position is untenable even if he (which he wont) turns Huddersfield down could not support a Manager who does not want to be here.

Makes me sick to think of the bullshit he has fed us.

I hate Sisu with a passion, but imo this is down to Robins, not Sisu.

Minor criticism to them for putting this clause in his contract, but the fact is he wanted to go, and would still have wanted to go even if that clause wasn't there.

Maybe, but do you think your workplace should be happy about that?

 

[Monkeyface]

efforts to keep him sounds like we have offered him an improved deal

Yeah, alright!

 

[kirby485]

if you had a job you were really enjoying, and you had done well in the first few months, and you got on with everyone you worked with, and your bosses etc were full of praise, if another, bigger company came in, offering you more money, and better long term job prospects / opportunities you'd be daft to not think about it, go for an interview, look further into it

But if that job came with greater insecurity and threat of a relegation on your CV, what then!?

People like to factor in the good parts, not the bad.

To be fair my boss is a decent bloke is a decent bloke and would understand that I was going to get a load more money and prospects.

Well...a new colleague of mine has left 3wks into the job for what they see as a better offer...two days after voicing all positive stuff. "A better offer, & you have to do what's right for yourself"

 

[ricohman]

look, i love him but he cant come back. Hes not exactly in a position to make demands with huddersfield as they know he will have a cauldren of hate to come back to, therefore they dont even have to pull out all the stops.

how could he even face the fans and players after this if he stays

Why is it more insecure than here? I dont think hudds will come down!

 

[Wrenstreetcarpark]

When will (the Royal) We accept that the emotion that We feel for CCFC in most unlikely to be reciprocated by any player or manager that comes to the club?
The football world is just the same as any industry...loyalty to "the Boss" or "the Company" is only valued until they want rid of you when it suits them. That's why we move jobs... it suits us better (& bugger loyalty!)...football is only different for those employed in it because of the publicity it generates.

IF MR goes let him go with our blessing...he has bought us the happiest spell we have had for what? 5? 10? 15? 20years?

Either way...& as frustrating as it is - us ranting will not majorly influence the future, & certainly will not change the past. Once he's gone...get over it! Get behind the team & caretaker/new boss.

You missed out the OWNER: player, manager, board member: none of them are anything. It is the owner that sits across the whole thing. Seppala, through Fisher, decides what is going to happen, who is going to be paid, who is going to be sold, who is going to be signed, Robins was taken to see Seppala. He wants to strengthen the squad. He has talked with Seppala and he has walked. There is only one thing anyone can read into that.
Seppala has not fulfilled Fisher's promises. The salesman oversold and the payer has drawn a line. Seppala has said "no joy". Robins has only done what anyone sensible would do.

 

[oakey]

Wondering what companies some on here work for?
No wonder the economy is fxxked with people just thinking short term. Long term stability in business is more successful in the long run.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

They've got rid of 2 good managers, Clark was on a 40+ unbeaten game streak! Grayson after getting promoted and doing OK there.

 

[kirby485]

if he stays I'll be behind him and supporting him because he is the manager of my team, and if he has turned his back on what is clearly a better opportunity, fair play

 

[Covstu]

The truth is SISU have probably been head turned by the offer of say 250K compo..................you know, they don't give a fuck, never will and the sooner they leave CCFC and the City of Coventry will be a day too late. This will ultimately be down to the latest lack of ambition and short termism from a bunch of Mayfair hedge fund Coonts !! Its just another act in the 'slow lingering death'...........a play by Joyless the hardnose business woman.

what a silly comment, how the hell can they control him talking to other clubs??

 

[coundonskyblue]

Supporting him out of loyalty?

Admirable, and it makes you a better man than him.

I mean us...the fans...don't be bitter...look forward & just think about the good times we had with MR with fondness

It is false equivalency IMO. The scope of the commitment involved in a football club is huge, whether it's the local population, promises made to players who committed their long-term futures based on the manager's presence, or the club's funds. It is not the average office job. I think some civic duty comes with the role, but that seems to be an old-fashioned view nowadays. Sadly.

 

[Sub]

well atleast he got to speak to the owner !! i would love to know who the feck that was i thought we had over 50 owners all owning 1% each !!!

 

[oldskyblue58]

osb - guessing ,2+2 or something else

Just a feeling really .............. sooner rather than later ACL will have to take action such action could threaten our existence................., accounts need to be filed by 28th Feb and cant be whilst rent matter not settled - so we can expect an embargo again,............ losing MR can be expected to affect the players but also the crowds - which will affect income, ........... takes time for a new manager to get his team not that many games left ...... lots of other little things that make me feel uneasy about the future..................... including some stuff that would be educated guesses right now but i would bet not far from the mark.

Hope I am wrong

on the face of it I am not sure what SISU could have done to stop MR going ......... but then I also doubt we will ever get the full story. But then again the truth might be different ...............

 

[coundonskyblue]

I can't do that I'm afraid. The only thing I ever asked for from the playing side of the club is loyalty. Loyalty to me means wanting to do your best for the club.

Crap players who try hard I will always like on a personal level, just like our previous managers since 2001 may not have been up to the job, all wanted to do their best here, so them I wish well.

A manager who leaves for what appears to purely be money I can never forgive.

 

[skyblu3sk]

I wouldn't welcome him back after this sorry but to me he has been unprofessional to a club that supported him well while here and funded his ambitions where possible.

Absolutely agree, Seppala holds the purse strings and her three muppets, sorry puppets, dance to her tune, soon to be the last waltz. Robins fundamentally a good guy, he has now discovered his paymasters true colours. Mark you will be missed

 

[skybluereeve]

Another -5k fans when he goes,I hate to think who is next in

Most sensible thing I've read all night. Don't get me wrong, be gutted to see Robins go but it's a job to him, someone offers to significantly increase my wages with better prospect... Where do I sign?

 

[Nick]

Yes you would be silly not to consider all things, not just the immediate prospects.

Maybe that's the problem?

Who knows what he knows or the ins and outs

 

[coundonskyblue]

Am I the only one on here who has every turned down more money for what I considered a better job?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

No mate!! Lots more to consider than more moneu

 

[cloughie]

meeting with the board and owners recently, MR explains his direction and backing required , siisu yes sisu aka joyless, explains accounts will not be signed off due to rent situation, so expect transfer embargo.

Now why would any manager have hiis head turned after such good backing

...but if that's the main thing for him, so be it. He wanted to do the best for us until something more attractive came along.
Blokes do it all the time...& women!

Yes they do, that doesnt mean its right though does it?

It depends on the situation though doesnt it?
