Saving money

Getting rid of Ian Cambridge and taking on a Commercial Manager was not to save money, it was a reuse of funds. The Commercial Manager will hopefully bring money into the club to allow further expansion, a Groundsman earned the club nothing directly. To suggest that the game Saturday would have gone ahead if we still had a groundsman is ludicrous, the pitch was under water, the game would have been off with or without Mr Cambridge.

Some of the jobs in your list are covered by one person Jez George is the General Manager and Dave Batch is the Football Manager but they share the Youth development between them. If you want to know what these people on your list do, why don't you ask them, most of them can be easily found on matchdays at the ground?

What people like you fail to realise is that as the club grows so does the amount of time to do the jobs. In the end it becomes impossible to do these things part-time and full-time staff become inevitable. Any club that wants to grow has to at some point employ full-time staff. As long as the club has the money to pay for them, I see no problem. Show me one large company that runs with only part-time staff, I bet you can't.

Expansion = ambition, it seems funny that a few years ago people were having a go because City had no ambition, now things are moving forward apace they are still wrong in some peoples eyes, City just can't win, there seem to be so many bitter people around with axes to grind about one thing or another.
