Not the best of starts describing Sheffield United as "such a long-established and high-profile sporting brand."

 

[Ricky]

Always been a big fan of Simon Ratcliffe, I'm thrilled with this.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Who?

 

[Bladesman]

Good luck to the lad.

 

[Woodthorpe blade]

Who?

I think he was in Harry Potter!

Be some bangin toons at the Lane now

Me too, although does this mean he won't be on 6music at lunchtimes with Maconie anymore?

 

[KoppedOff]

He’s not as good as Coutts though, so I automatically hate him with a passion.

 

[Tom Bott]

Always liked a bit of Faithless before KO myself.

Always thought Sham 69 a bit lame.

 

[Rodley]

GLTTL

 

[Harrisblade]

I think he was in Harry Potter!

Can we cope with even more magic?

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Always liked a bit of Faithless before KO myself.

Always thought Sham 69 a bit lame.

If there isn’t Faithless & Da Hool before kick off, is it even a game of football?

 

[Tyler Durden]

Anyone who describes a football club as a "brand" is a fucking cockwomble. I hope he sticks to bean-counting and never utters another word in public again.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Tyler, what the fuck is a cockwomble

 

[dc_blade]

Swear I've seen him somewhere before...

 

[west_yorks_blade]

I'll remember that when I'm kidney punching blind orphans & OAP's

'Sorry mate I don't like doing this, but its all part of our long-established and high-profile sporting brand'

Good news everyone! We're now gonna be known as SheffU!

 

[Selly]

Never heard of him, but if he's passed Wilders 14 point checklist then I'm happy.

In Wilder we trust.

[Tom Bott]

Well we will have to see how many beans he finds for Lord Wilder to spend in January.

I'm sure his fiscal sense will beat that of the Dolphin killer over at S6. - MASSIVE MUPPETS

The latest from dolphin killer, in one selected line is “do we have problems...? Yes we do”

Simply lovleh

We had a thread the other day about corporate bullshit. Looking at his career, this guy has been raised on a rich diet of it and it pervades his life, obviously. And that's not being unkind btw - it's just a fact, that if you spend most of your working life in an environment where people like to speak in riddles and conundrums and use analogies and euphemisms then it starts to become "normal".

I'm just glad I got out of it a few years ago. I knew I had to change my mindset and helicopter up and take a blue-sky look at things. It required a paradigm-shift in my thinking, but the result has been a quantum leap in the right direction. And going forward, I knew I had to reach out, think outside the box, and push the envelope, if I was going to leverage best practice and get buy-in from my key stakeholders.

 

[Snowman]

As a customer of Team SU I'd like to reach out to SR with a welcoming hand. I'm sure that where he finds there are issues of financial drag these can be remedied by suitable costs containment without the need to de-hire or downsize. Going forward, if he were to drill down into our resource structure then he may realise there is a synergy to be achieved from in sourcing investment whilst not outsourcing talent. In January I am sure he will enable us to switch gears and share with us his vision for keeping our product well positioned. If he fails then I am sure this task force deputed to oversee the project will enable his termination.

 

[SwissBlade]

I bets wilders relishing listening to his bullshit

SR “So in summary Chris, were not getting the leverage targets we’ve set for 2022, so financially we’re going to be constrained going forward in Q1 18.”

CW “Does that mean I can av some moneh or not”

SR“Negative Chris, we’re entering a potential meteor storm and I’d like to steady this ship before we burn more fuel on this journey to the promised land. You think you can co pilot this vessel with Captain Ratcliffe?”

CW “I’ve no idea what you’re on about, I only came as I’m doing a whip round to get Brookseh a farewell present for when he leaves in jan”

Welcome to the brand Ratcliffe!

Fucking hell, he's only been here 2 minutes and we're trading in dollars already.

That's going to shove the ticket prices up for us, have you seen the fall in the exchange rate over the last year or so?

He's the finance officer. Not sales and marketing. Takes the money at the kiosk while his assistant pulls your pint and gets your pie.

 

[Worksop II]

He's the finance officer

He is the CHIEF Finance Officer, don't fuckin demote him ... he's only been here a day

Probably spent that staring at the Cash Box ...... that, and the £1 coin the Prince paid ...............
