And if that investment is from where I think it might be, might not be too worrying. But just guess work. Cant predict our chairman or what he does. Tomorrow’s media briefing probs won’t even mention it now That is the logical conclusion, guess they may also be helping to find a manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 31Dec1966 Posted December 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2020 I've never been a fan of this approach in business. Consultants/advisors/agencies etc. Too many businesses pay large salaries then bring in "management consultants" to tell them how to do the job. It's absurd, the kings new clothes. Get a good chief executive, director of football, financial exec, marketing director, sponsorship specialist and someone to liaise with local business. Set up a proper (perhaps part time) scouting network. We need a proper business structure not fly by night consultants changing all the time with no commitment to the club. 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I've seen this management consulting thing work is when things have gone the Lean route, and it requires a huge amount of dedication from the management so that the actual workers start believing in it. Many times the consultants interviewed people and drew process maps but no one at the lower level recognized them as they saw the whole thing in a very different way.

But this could not be as bad news as it all seems. Lets just wait and see what happens. I've found a few interesting / worrying links/ connections between these people and certain "advisors" who are regularly seen by Chansiri's side. Seems a lot of these sports management Companies swim in the same sewers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akbuk Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 7 hours ago, S36 OWL said: In which case these people would want some sort of stake in the club OR some sort of security if their involvement is merely a loan. Chansiri has already mortgaged the stadium, do my guess is these people will have a stake in the club. If they are investing that's got to be good news hasn't it?

Not necessarily - it depends on what they bring to the table aside from money and how that converts into benefit. It could potentially be a whole lot of trouble for very little gain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DobbinTheDonkey Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Get players on show and hopoe they do well. Sell for a premium, take a dividend/ annual fee If player(s) don't do well the club fronts the costs, load up with debt. No risk but reward in the annual fee, the cloud 9 way.
