It's our own BoDs fault for getting in that position in the first place. The Sainsbury thing is just part of their failures to do things properly. The whole club has stagnated for years regardless of the stadium fiasco. It was the economy, stoopid. A couple of years earlier, and Sainsbury`s wouldn`t have been able to build their new store fast enough.

For the record I'm a ex Sainsburys manager so I know how they work a little better than most. They are ruthless and only care about the shareholders profits etc. They treat suppliers and staff with the same contempt. Check recent history how they have shafted many other companies the same way they treated Rovers. I agree our old directors were not the best but I will never forgive Sainsburys for the way that acted against us. I worked for them too and can agree wholeheartedly. I am not really into "let's hurt sainsbury's" any more, but I can endorse them as a TERRIBLE employer. they made me buy my own uniform and the management seemed deliberately anti-staff, not just getting their money's worth, but almost as if staff were vermin and to be pushed about. I am not in away way linking this to you as a manager, more to your general point about the culture. I am sure your managers were the same to you. Funnily enough, JS are donors (or at least former donors) to the Labour party and are very big on "social responsibility". I have worked for two other companies which have a big claim for being "nice and responsible". All three were vicious profit-junkies at total odds to their message. On in particular very much traded off being responsible, yet they were totally "shaft the customer" on the sly. I have a theory. If you meet anyone or an organisation who is very vocally or visually into charity, and doing "good" things, they are either very genuinely compassionate or it's a total front and they should be avoided. It's the same with caring professions, mainly good people but evil demons with the will to harm will always be attracted to positions where they are "without question" someone to be trusted. In the business world I work in these days, I have known some horrible people who use very visual charity events to boost their profile as a "good guy". I also know some of the finest people doing the same. These days, it's a red flag and although most people who are "doing good" are doing good, beware as the utter scum of the earth very much want to be trusted and seen as a good person. I have meandered somewhat off point....Sainsbury's attitude as employers was at odds to the view I had of them before joining. I was a lefty in my youth and I understood them as pro-Labour and therefore pro-staff working rights, which I am sure you can agree was not in any way the JS employee experience.

The old board let us down, not any shop chain. If the old board had only done this once I would agree, sadly they make a very regular habit of it ! Edited.
