Simon Ratcliffe - Blades appoint Chief Finance Officer

[Sean Thornton]

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 ...............

The bad news about the £1 coin is it was left in a desk and now isn't legal anymore. Apparently Lundstram was supposed to take it to the bank to change it but forgot.

Grrrr, (shakes fist)

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.

It wasn't like that at Bert plc. Staff were motivated by Bert shouting "Oy you, get some f**king work done"

Don't believe it.

Now "Bert says, oy you etc" would be more likely.

Tyler, what the fuck is a cockwomble

Cockwomble
The literal meaning of cockwomble is someone who engages in cottaging or gay dogging type activities in public places. In general use, it seems to have lost this meaning and is typically just used as a general insult.

Wombles are fictional creatures from a 1970s British children's animation series. As the story goes, they live in a burrow under Wimbledon Common and get by collecting and recycling litter.

So if a womble is a critter that roams Wimbledon Common looking for litter, then a cockwomble is someone who roams Wimbledon Common (or other parks and public areas) looking for cock.

Not sure he'll be allowed in the famiy stand?

Looks like another addition to the corporate acquisitions and mergers camp with experience of attracting private investment, corporate restructuring etc. Moves are afoot it would seem.

You learn something new every day, you should never stop learning, I may use this in my pub quiz, and question six, what is a cockwomble

From his previous employment, it looks like the 20,000 mobile phones at each game would be of interest to him ..................

and if the answers come back ... "the question master" would that be a full point ?

Jacob?

Just remind me. Who was in charge when Jacob was "brought on board"?

I actually pointed out at the time that his Plc was in the process of being struck off at Companies House, something that had slipped the attention of whoever did the due diligence.

Ah yes. The delights of a subscription to Creditsafe and a knowledge of matters in more arcane areas of the corporate press.

Creditsafe. The credit score equivalent of an abacus

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Has Kevin Mcabe seen if the Blades ever got stung with PPI?

Perhaps when we signed John Ebbrell or James Wallace?

Indeed it is, but that is not what I use it for. That's the least interesting or even shall I say the most worthless bit.

 

[PeteBlade]

Come on lads, let’s at least let him calculate a balance sheet in anger before we write him off.

 

[YES Blade]

There seems to be a story like this every season. Someone joins in a high powered position who we haven’t heard of, they big him up a bit, a few quotes etc etc.

No one is going to read that and really give a shit. Why even bother putting it on the website?
