Ex-Staff Chris Williams Leaves

" We look forward to announcing our plans for the communications department in the coming weeks.” - T. Williams.

Just as soon as the cleaner has cleared out that broom cupboard.
 
If I was an OUFC fan working for the football club right now, I'd be pretending to support someone else... I get the impression they don't want anyone there who will challenge them on how OUFC should be run or how it's been before. Williams and Benson clearing out anyone who dares to speak up?

If they think they can run this like a soulless Premier League franchise machine they are in for a rude awakening. Lower League clubs are pillars of the community, small fan bases that look after each other and devote themselves to bettering the club or keeping it moving forward, clearing local passionate people out of the club should not be done without good reason and to do so without a huge thankyou leaves a sour taste. That note about Chris leaving is pathetic, he deserves a lot more for his 20 years of service. If Tim Williams and Adam Benson feel that is appropriate I very much doubt they know how a club like this should operate.

Right. Now is the time for the club (basically Williams & Ferguson) to acknowledge his service and I'm sure they will. No one does it before there's an official announcement and those throwing their toys around last weekend need to calm down.

Your grasp of the situation and overall feel of the forum is quite extraordinary. How do you do it? Which drugs are you using?

You’re either Adam Benson or Tim Williams, either way I claim my £10!
 
So what is the make-up of the media team now?

Communications Manager - TBC
Social Media Manager - Billy Lawrence
Programme Editor - Martin Brodetsky?

I know there was a chap doing an internship who did a lot of the matchday video content - no idea if he is still around.

Chris Williams and while back Liam Potter are big losses. Though Billy has been around the club a while now doing stuff for the women's team, and has been far more involved with first team socials and interviews since Liam left last season.
Assume Martin Brodetsky is still around but I don't get the programme so don't know seeing as they binned off The Preview Show on iFollow.
He's still listed on the website but then again so are Niall McWilliams and Harry Routledge.

You say you run a business? I would never work for someone like you and I feel sorry for the people that you employ.

Your ability to not grasp basic facts, read the room and understand the holistic picture is scary.

Are you saying McWilliams has 100% left OUFC?

I've no idea - it seems like something that just doesn't get answered by anyone.
I've read/heard that he's stepped back to a far more lesser role and have also read that's he not involved at all.
Don't know which, if either, are true.

Certainly having no comment from the 'Chief Strategy Officer' on any recent stadium bits suggests he is at the very least, no longer in that role.

I guess we'll have to wait for the new communications manager to come in to be told that Des has been sacked as well...
