The club would like to thank the following staff who are leaving the club.
Bill who was a great calming influence as he walked about on the pitch near the players before games. Dan who gave the subs a vigorous warm up at half time. Also thanks to luke who put all the little cones down and picked them up again after. Thanks guys.

It’s all a bit sad that redundancies are going to be made. It might be me and this might be a lot of b***** but not being in the know but I wonder if..... In the conference we seemed to be a fairly lean staff with DC and a few without much back up support. This led to us being labelled rag bag etc etc. When the AlQadis came in they said about building from the bottom, developing a youth structure etc amongst other things said. Our staff seemed to mushroom which was great. Our medical back up grew much stronger, coaches for this and that. Wael’s enthusiasm (and desire for us to be as near to how Chelsea was run as possible perhaps) just got away from him and some of the stuff we did was just unsustainable financially esp Hani seemed to put the brakes on regarding spending. I suspect the initial enthusiasm of Wael wasn’t matched by his knowledge of the financial side of a football club and that enthusiasm carried him away. Basically I wonder if he didn’t know much about a football club’s finances and now it’s all coming home to roost. Now we have to cut staff back and become more like we used to be. Perhaps this will lead to a leaner more first-team-focussed approach that we may not even notice. Its a great shame if people are going to lose their jobs but if it’s unsustainable then we have to do it. Nothing is more important than the good of the club. Perhaps GGMI is right that it’s GC who has a meaner streak and will do that. Good luck to him seriously.UTG! It may mean just that. I am not ITK but surely there are some positions which are "nice to haves" because other, better off clubs have them ? Reality kicks in and now Wael needs to look around on how to trim the organisation to keep the playing side going.

GC mentioned about having to cut the wage bill of the staff down and telling some he is letting them go. He also wants to bring 1 or 2 of his own people in. Do people know who any of the ones going or coming in, are? Mansell

At one stage we had more staff in our Medical department than the BRI.

Nice to see him pass the responsibility of naming the staff who are leaving onto the club. Let's see if the club have the respect to give them at least an article on the website. That's respect for their staff and their paying customers. I see you're still completely ignoring the fact that Lines, Lockyer and Sinclair all got very good send offs on Facebook. Still you keep beating the club with that stick of yours. Fair enough, I don't go on FB these days. Their website updates leave a lot to be desired though. My opinion and if they improve then I will commend them for it. I have no interest in beating the club with a stick. Nor do I have any interest in blindly accepting incompetence. I will always give credit where it is due and I desperately want the club to succeed and run professionally, with a vision for success. What is clearly evident in my eyes though is that they never want to make a statement about something if it comes across negatively. That is just poor form, and I for one would respect them a hell of a lot more if they fronted up and explained. Something like "regrettably we have had to trim our staff in order to ensure we remain competitive in League One. We therefore say goodbye to X, Y and Z, and thank them for their service to the club and wish them the very best for the future". That sentence took me less than 60 seconds to type out, and yet the club haven't managed it? You see now why I complain? It's not rocket science and that's what wateres me off.

Using some quotes on TwoFacedBook to justify it is unbelievable.

Kinda ironic that the Al Qadi's brought in loads of unnecessary personnel, head of recruitment head of paperclips etc, now they're probably gonna lay off a load of people.
It's pretty obvious they want to offload the club but aren't finding it easy to find a buyer so in the meantime they want to make sure the club doesn't cost them any more than they can get away with.
I'm pretty sure there's not going to be any progress with regard to the stadium, training ground or anything else as all these things cost money which they don't want to spend.
Basically until someone comes in with money and buys the club, which might never happen we will be in terminal decline, three more seasons and we'll be back in the conference, if the club isn't wound up before then.

Christ, 2 weeks ago I was celebrating still being in Lg1, after reading this I want to shoot myself. Way to ruin the weekend fella.

If they simply wanted to cut costs surely all they need to do is dismantle the Development Squad, trimming the playing budget to a sensible level (do we really need 29 pros plus DS players?) is no sign of anything really. Likewise releasing Lines, Sincs & Leads is not a sign the budget is being cut, just they are no longer required.

Before any staff are cut that London office needs to go! Along with one of the chairman/CEO/COO and whoever else is hanging on for a final paycheque.
Hardworking fitness, coaching and academy staff shouldn’t lose their jobs when we’re forking out money on such madness. that is all very well, but who is going to sit in those posh monogrammed premiership style seats in Boxes 1 and 10?

Tbh we have hired quite a lot of staff over the past few seasons even making new positions for ex-players such as Mansell. Maybe after all this they realize too much money is being spent on the staff that's not necessarily needed? There's a few positions that some staff currently hold at the club where I'm not really a hundred percent sure on what they even do.

It'd also be a fair comment for the club to come out and explain and yet they still haven't managed it?
