brawlad74 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Just read mine. Apology from Mallon re lack of comms. Wondering if adverse comments re FoH and Board (re Timothy reduction) actually having effect or being cynical the FoH election is coming up. Content sadly is talks about talks stay tuned for more info tho like the strategy of targeting younger and new members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost in space Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 A summary - 1. We have a new "strategy" but we aren't telling you what it is yet. 2. New website planned. 3.

kingantti1874 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Direct response to Gerry Mallon being called out on here imo. And the email has little to no substance. maintain he’s not doing enough and in retrospect was a poor choice. he’s not really a “hearts man” (or woman) and has approached it from the perspective of building out CV.

Obviously not all board members are pulling their weight on the football front or we would be better! Who pulls the trigger if needed and who chooses the replacement if needed? As clear as soft wet earth! Nice presentation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Here are the latest scores in the buzz word bingo: Strategy - 8 Board - 6 Member - 5 Owner - 5 Project - 3 Lots of management speak with no substance. Two new "specialist" directors? Why?. FOH has a primary purpose to raise funds for the club. It shows little interest in doing anything else.

Bunny Munro Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 The FOH is full of false promises. I'm sure we were told a new website was coming "next week" over a year ago. Rewards are being revamped at the same time. Nothing. Someone (not sure if was Gerry) was on SATF podcast and told us the scarves and strip with pledgers names on it would be making a comeback and silence on that aswell. As for the kids thing, I'm pretty sure it will be free - they don't want kids paying any money as they're away how trashy that looks.

washniklaw Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 While I have been a little underwhelmed by FOH communication my son (age 10) has been part of the discussions regarding family pledges and junior FOH. What is instantly obvious is how professional and thoughtful the people involved have been. Nothing is being rolled out without numerous meetings and discussions to iron out any issues before going public. Mallon given some Tesco Bank people the roles of voluntary consultants so it’s all very professional. I think it will be delivered well and we will see an upturn in quality moving forward.
