The legacy of Martin O'Neill

[Chris Smith]

If there's 300 stewards on matchday there's probably about 400 on the books annually to account for time off and staff turnover. Add catering staff to that and you could easily touch 1,000.

So are some of the stewards. I used to work with a bluenose who did some part time security work and he'd get jobs at VP a few times per season. I saw him in the Holte one night, it was the only time he was ever scared of me.
Catering staff are agency staff though and not club employees.

I know you get some stewards contracted in, usually for big games and at Christmas. I think (although I'm not sure) that the corporate catering staff are agency and the kiosk ones are directly employed.

[Villa'Zawg]

Villa report 445 full-time and 953 part-time

Spurs report 286 full-time and 577 part-time

Everton report 226 full-time and 459 part-time

Those figure are the average weekly/monthly number of employees throughout the year.

Sorry but God no longer pays heed to this site after the scandalous anti-religion threads that are all the fashion. 'You want your science, I'll shove down your throats you ungrateful bastards...' I can almost hear him/her/it say.

Enter the Americans stage right. Or is Hawkins actually that robot from Buck Rogers?

You complain about us paying mega wages but aren't interested in why we have 85-90% more staff than Spurs and Everton?

Jesus!


Can you imagine Gollivan and Brady stewarding the Villa with those figures thrust at them?  Blood on the carpet wouldn't do it justice.

So our wagebill is too big because we give exorbitant wages to mediocre players AND employ an unnecessarily vast number of employees off the pitch?

I'm sure that we'll be told they were all MON's butlers and footmen and that the true figure is 6.

It is an odd discrepancy, like so much at Villa at the moment we've got no fucking chance of finding out why.

It's been explained to you many times, but you don't take any notice. Spurs employ agency, we employ direct. I would also guess that our conference business is far greater than theirs, stuck out in Harringey with no parking and the motorway network an hour away.

I'm giving you a mission Mark, to go up the river and terminate Villadawgs command.

With extreme prejudice.

There must have been at least two runners for Robertson's and Walford's cigarettes.  The nearest fag shop to Bodymoor Heath is in Kingsbury.

But again, unless these staff are on wages on a par with a pro footballer I'm not sure how much of a bearing that could have. Middle management or heads of department might be on anything bewteen £40K- 100k per annum. I assume that the vast majority of those listed as staff will be closer to minimum wage (if we're including kiosk staff, stewards et.c)

They won't even be earning £16k per year, as they're only employed for a few hours every second Saturday/Sunday.
