Only at Coventry City Football Club.

New Commercial Director Andy Dawson has left after only one day in his post.

Irregularities in his references apparently.


:facepalm:

City now looking for their fourth Commercial Director in less than a year.

You couldn't make it up!

Turned out he isn't a crook after all, so they fired him :laugh:

:D

He was previously Hull City's Commercial Director though, so how come the 'references' were good enough for them?

he had success and was liked by the fans in his previous jobs that was the issue ;)

He worked with Clouting for 9 years too, surely that is long enough to know him?

Couldn't do any worse could I?

Hmmmm .... Commercial Director.

1. Free beer for every supporter over 18 to entice them into the ground.

2. Free spliff to the under 18's to entice them into the ground

3. And free Coke for the under 7's to entice them into the ground.

4. Topless bar staff at every food kiosk. (and if the club to run to it that might also include females too)

5. I would tell all the players to up their performances a notch, by say 10%. (Bell and McShuffty by 97%).

6. Put a greatly enlarged toilet bowl in the centre circle at half-time with a claret and blue football shirt jammed up in the U-Bend and then pick a lucky winner from the prize draw for someone to actually shit on the Villa.

7. Would give free colouring in and counting books for the under 5's. The counting books would be from 1 to 10. When Leshtur visit that would be books counting 1 to 12.

8. Would ask the FA if we could play with a much bigger ball for home games so that Roy O'Donovan has a better chance of trapping it.

Have i got the job?:D

In my opinion if he was involved in the hiring process then Clouting should also go.

Just a little worried about No.3

Could we also afford a crispy £20 note to go with it?

He went for one of two reasons:
A: It was discovered that he was UK based and we already have one Director living in this country so any more would be overloading it.
B: He asked for a budget and got upset when Ken and Clouty just laughed in his face - "same as last years ho ho"

The worrying line in the piece was that this jokers commercial role was centred around reducing costs not bringing in new revenue streams - just cost cutting.

No. 3? Well it was either free Coke or hiring Gary Glitter as Playgroup Manager.

Felt it better to offer them hard drugs to be honest.

No 3 and 7 are a bit worrying, other than that it all sounds mighty fine.:D


Okay, so what about storybooks then instead? For our friends up the M69 it could books of monsters, ogres, beasts and werewolves. Or better known in Leshturshire as "Tracing Your Family Tree."

Gotta be careful with the revealing of flesh. Some things should remain covered up at all times. It seemed to be just the minging beasts that were shedding layers in Leam today..not pleasant for anybody, that.
