I’m completely familiar with all popular modes of modern communication. If Ann can do her job entirely remotely, which technically I have no argument with, why does she ever come in to work? C'mon she's taken a holiday through the break. Leaving the transfers to folk that matter. She'll be back watching us and supporting us and her team. When the football starts.

He has nobody at Director level he can just grab a face to face chat with. A phone call is just not the same. How long do you define the critical period?

Rudy T Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 What is it people think Ann Budge should be doing? She’s got the password to the bank account that’s it. Personally I hope she’s got **** all to do with the signings other than paying the cash. She evidently took no notice of the steaming piles of shite Levein signed so hopefully Stendel is afforded the same autonomy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if you think everything can be done over the phone you’ve got to ask why she bothers coming to work at all🤷♂️ There are many global companies who's accouting departments for example are offshored, so the CEO/MD just can't pop down to accounts. They use a phone, or video conference, email, whatever. They also just can't pop down to the New York or London office. You don't need to be in the building, and you certainly don't when it's a football club looking to sign players, not every day of the window anyway.

AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 3 minutes ago, Victorian said: We're in a bad position and things need to be done but at the same time, she's a woman of advanced years who works pretty long hours and has a stressful job on her hands. It's probably a good idea for her to get a break away from it. There's a decent case for that being while we're not playing. It would not surprise me at all if family members insisted upon it. She's back soon. There's merit in what you say, but I find it hard to imagine how the CEO's presence could be more important when we are playing football, but not making do or die decisions for the club's future, than it is now, when decisions need to be made to sign players to secure that future. Once this window's closed there will be very little Ann Budge can do to affect our survival prospects (she might sign a contract with a top class caterer, or rent out office space, but that's not going to help us avoid relegation), so there's plenty of opportunity for her to enjoy a much needed break after the window closes. There's another potential problem with Daniel Stendel having to rely on remote conversations with someone he barely knows, and that is his much commented upon limited command of English, particularly it's nuances, and, indeed humour (humour can both help (if understood) or hinder (if misunderstood) all conversations and it's important to be able to recognise it, particularly in stressful conversations). I'm sure he has some difficulty getting the true meaning of many a conversation at the moment, even face to face, but a telephone conversation must be hell for him in English and picking up the wrong message must be a real possibility. It is very likely that this holiday was booked a while ago, and before there was even the possibility of being bottom of the league in January. It could well be an extremely important break for her, too, one she would find impossible to cancel, and I'm not saying she is wrong to have gone away, but that doesn't escape the fact that we are at a pivotal moment and her presence (assuming she is a steadying influence in such circumstances) is very much needed.
