steveger Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Sadly as much as I welcome Mr C over the available chancers that was around at the time he really needs to get some serious football minded people in to run the club for him, not just the commercial side, it all. I still reckon he will get it right if he gets some help in. Edited October 7, 2017 by steveger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has staff he needs to allow delegation His cash input to the pitch and team has been amazing but it's fairly obvious that his focus is totally pitchside the actual day to day commercial stuff is seeming to be completely messed up despite ffp protestations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wearing it one day and it stopped. Took it to a jewellers who took the back off. There was a metal plate covering the balance wheel. A screw had come loose and the plate had come away. Then one of the hands came away. So as I said it literally fell apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take time to get things right. He has probably been naive in think doing everything in house would be better. As for the watches they would've been better putting out a statement ala Glastonbury that demand was so high that they sold out very quickly and refunds would be made ASAP and leave it that. Then when the 150 watches had been shipped offer the others at something like a £100. Edited October 7, 2017 by darra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 How can it need to take time to get the blooming obvious done right? The absolute basics are a shambles. Needed two months tops not two years and still waiting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 How hard was it to predict the 150 watches at £150 would go almost instantly? Or just to have consideted it as a possibility? Joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlyegg Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 They are Sekonda, and they are British company, the actual watch without the Wednesday stuff added is between £65 and £75 depending where you buy. If we have a brill season every chance of flipping em and double ya dosh....if we have a brill decade, they will be worth over a grand in 10 yrs Especially with the limited edition, presentation case...not ott I thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlyegg Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Loads of UK manufacturing companies are now based in the far east, or eastern Europe. First thing I thought, should have gone for an up market brand, Rolex, or Breitling if pushing the boat out especially with such a low production run. I thought they ought to have done 150 top end and 150 mid-range...summatt for all pockets. But who am I how to tell a billionaire businessman how to sell stuff http://www.sekonda.co.uk/index.php?fuseaction=Static.history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Manwithastick Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Yeah 'cos Rolex or Breitling (or Panerai, Patek Philippe, Audmars etc.) would do a limited edition with SWFC Edited October 7, 2017 by Manwithastick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a couple of weeks ago people were complaing about the club charging £850 for a painting by a world renowned artist. Now some are saying the club should be knocking watches out at nearly twice that. Edited October 7, 2017 by darra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commercial side may have been pretty poop But we always had kits and merchandise in the shop It might take time but currently taking time has made things ridiculously worse It has never ever been anywhere near as bad from a commercial aspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the watches I think a Breitling or Rolex is a tad high end (I'm sure though there would be a few could afford one on here?) However a Citizen or Seiko special edition would have gained a bit more interest I would have thought ?and still been affordable ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
