i dont think im being picky, GF said in his statement following DB sacking, that the new manager would be ( quote) 'in the dug out at Leeds'Poor on so many levels and worrying tbh. You can see why we end up under embargo’s or stadium f*ck ups etc.
Don’t get me wrong, the shambles of it is amusing but as a supporter of the club I find it deeply disappointing. If this was in business, particularly financial institutions or listed companies, there would be serious issues. I appreciate that we’re essentially amateur hour and not a FTSE or AIM company but this is poor.
OxVox or whoever need to be speaking to the club about this. It’s one of a long list of errors and it comes from poor management at the top.
As a matter of interest, where did he say that, Sarge?i dont think im being picky, GF said in his statement following DB sacking, that the new manager would be ( quote) 'in the dug out at Leeds'
Yet GR is going to be in the stand - not, as GF stated, in the dugout.
I wouldn’t characterise Oxvox in this way. In my experience, they work conscientiously to hold the Management of the Club to account. Given the abject complacency on display once again, imagine how tricky this is. Oxvox seems to me to communicate effectively with Suppoters.They don’t get confused by the Fan/Customer nonsense.I’m looking forward to the Club’s statement on the matter via OUSP, putting half the blame on Leeds United, followed by a whinging one from OxVox a week later, all the while Adam Benson is running round saying “nothing to do with me guv”
well spotted Tim, Ive rechecked GF's statement/ update, and it doesnt appear in there!- Im fairly sure I saw, or heard something from an official source 'the club' saying the new coach would be 'in the dug out at Leeds' in the past few days ?As a matter of interest, where did he say that, Sarge?
Sarge, in the emergency Dub podcast I thinkwell spotted Tim, Ive rechecked GF's statement/ update, and it doesnt appear in there!- Im fairly sure I saw, or heard something from an official source 'the club' saying the new coach would be 'in the dug out at Leeds' in the past few days ?
perhaps it wasn't, and Ive imagined it?
Just one of many things, though, that “doesn’t look that good”, Aldo!Look
I know it looks like a mess comms wise but Gary Rowett would have agreed terms yesterday and would be unveiled this morning. Everyone at the club is aware of this
But maybe the Leeds preview goes out at a certain time and they’re told it the manager will be announced by that time
The new manager is then delayed through traffic or whatever reason and nobody tells the guys sending the Leeds preview.
Could be a very simple explanation doesn’t look that good but in the scheme of things it doesn’t really matter
First impressions are everything, what will Gary Rowett think for example, that were a little bit of a shambles behind the scenes I imagine, you don't hear of too many club accidentally unveiling a new manager.Could be a very simple explanation doesn’t look that good but in the scheme of things it doesn’t really matter
Sorry mate, but you are clearly qualified to be the new comms manager.well spotted Tim, Ive rechecked GF's statement/ update, and it doesnt appear in there!- Im fairly sure I saw, or heard something from an official source 'the club' saying the new coach would be 'in the dug out at Leeds' in the past few days ?

I think it was said on 'the Dub'...Jerome, i thinkSarge, in the emergency Dub podcast I think
I’ve just skimmed through the comments section of the OM after the article announcing Rowett’s appointment. You’ll all be pleased to know that it makes this forum seem like the centre of reasoned and balanced debate. Oh, and I haven’t see anyone refered to as a ‘t**t’ here, well not yet anyway.
Ah go on, that will do. As a treat you can open tomorrow’s window on the advent calendar a day early.I called Ian Middleton a ‘tit’, does that count?
This is all very plausible, but give the media team is 3 people, working out of the same office, it’s not beyond the wit of man for someone to go “We’ve not announced the new manager yet, did we write anything about him in the preview that goes out today? Hmm someone should check that”.Look
