Redundancies at VP?

[Witton Warrior]

Just been told that staff at VP have received letters to attend a meeting today about potential redundancies - but nothing to do with impending relegation apparently?

[Risso]

Wouldn't surprise me. It's so unfair though, one shit player like N'Zogbia probably earns the same as 100 admin staff.

[Walmley_Villa]

Hopefully Tom Fox and Paddy Reilly

Nzogbia's weekly wage would probably pay the annual salary for 3 employees. And pretty much all of the staff I've ever encountered at Villa Park have always shown more commitment to the Villa and our supporters than he's ever fucking done. Not just singling him out either, if the players had an ounce of conscience, they'd be doing something to help.

You have to ask, what staff can they do without?

Relegated or not we will still need match day staff, unless they are thinking that attendances will drop to the point that we will not need a large number of staff?

I doubt it would be anything to do with matchday staff.

They don't have to do anything to help though. That's a depressing reality of the bubble many footballers live in.

I hope they all leave with a goody bag containing a Proud History Bright Future DVD and Curtis Davies bobble head.

[PaulTheVillan]

Wait until you see the next lot of accounts then.

[wince]

This doesnt sit well with me given the wages the players are on and I still reckon the whole scenario was a ploy by the board to lower the running costs. Modern football is so out of touch with reality it is unbelieveable

[themossman]

Hollis is clearly cast as the hatchet man in our rapidly accelerating decline into non premier league footballing irrelevance.

[Drummond]

It all depends which roles are going though. If they are for jobs that don't add any sort of value and instead are part of our overall problem, then maybe it's a positive sign that we're dealing with it.

[kippaxvilla2]

Drummond I assume you are referring to the Head of Player Recruitment?

   As in fox, reilly & the other dipshit going yeh I'm all for it.

[Witton Warrior]

I know one permanent member of staff and another who works with the Women's team. Will try and find out what goes on...
