[Bagpuss]

Now O'Neill is the man will this forum be linked to the fishy site again and if the shackles are off will Rob Heys and his crew once again post on here?

Will Lee be replaced in the shop?

Will the ban on Kipax posting be lifted?

The interview on Radio Lancashire did state that there would be some new additions to the staff at the club, as they'd been too light for too long.

I just hope that they appoint the right people this time, instead of merely making do.

So give the Club the hint........ Who and in what positions???

If they're are to get in right some public opinion will be welcome IMHO!!

[maccawozzagod]

I dont know who does what at the club but a good start will be letting people do the jobs they are employed to do!

No doubt it will take time to get the people and positions identified and recruited so we probably have a period of transition to look forward to. Its all good though!

Well there's a position now (I'd assume) in terms of club shop and merchandising. I understand that the previous employee may have had their hands tied, but simply communicating with the customers isn't hard.

I'd like to see someone in a position of merchandising and club shop operations. Look carefully at the design of shirts (you'd sell more if they were attractive) and other merchandising options. I understand that the customer base for Stanley is relatively small, but numerous people have been calling out for training tops (as an example) to be available, which are the same as the players wear. We've never got those, just the same old tired lines of stuff, that aren't even that attractive anymore.

Employ someone who shows innovation and an ability to both spot gaps in the market and listen to customer demands. There are opportunities there, but sadly they've been missed time and again.

In addition to that, this person would need to be a decent communicator with the customers. Answer all emails promptly. Dispatch orders quickly and if items are out of stock, let the customers know!!
This person could also be responsible for daily updates to the website. A daily report on what's been happening at the club and with the squad would get people looking on the site regularly. This would go a long way towards repairing the damage done to sections of the fan-base through years of general apathy and it would only have to take less than 30 minutes per day.

That's one idea, for starters.

Good luck in your new position David, may all your problems be easily solved and all things Stanley be bright and rosy.
