Stewards not receiving usual food vouchers

[Mike Oxlong]

The good news is there will still be enough food and drink for the club to charge fans £7 for a beer, £3.50 for a cup of tea and £6 for a sausage roll

Tbf this isn't the club's fault. It's the fans paying these prices and then clapping full of joy like seals.

ffs - someone at King Power go down to CostCo with Rudkins Credit Card - buy a shit load of muffins and bottles of pop and stick em in the staff room - not hard

[Sol thewall Bamba]

It's literally a **** up a day isn't it.

So possibilities:

 

1 it’s fake

2. we are skinter than a skint thing on a skint day.

3. Mrs warehouse manager think this is what a CEO does - saves money.

4. we are in the latter stages of a takeover and with a fee now agreed, Top is unwilling to put any more money into the club.

I'm a little suspicious of the fact the email has come through as "stewards" and the continued capitalisation of stewards in the email

Same as the last thing that came out, why would someone make it up? It's an incredibly niche thing to fabricate.

You think there is a staff room? 😂

They should all ring in sick at 6pm.

if I’m not mistaken, about 2 months ago we had a couple of people on here saying they were hearing very bad things about the state of the club, but they would not elaborate. If you add that, the late change on Christmas pay and this, then it’d point to number 2

Got to be a fake. Doesn’t even sound professional 

Either it’s fake or they’ve handed over internal communications to somebody with no grasp of English grammar, which would be a weird thing to do but not necessarily surprising given the way we seem to operate. However I’m inclined to believe it’s fake.

They probably can't do it and they've signed a contract clause for this matter. Any organised disruption caused by their actions will have consequences against them.

This is such a niche issue that I think it’s incompetence rather than a cash flow issue else there would be much bigger issues than this. Not good though. 

[UniFox21]

Whether real or fake, how believable it is once again hits home how poorly we are ran. This shit may be fine in their other businesses, but this shit isn't fine to do here.

Penny pinching usually means something greater. These food vouchers wouldn't amount to 30 seconds of the players salaries each day.

 

To be clear this is quite blatantly not a money problem.

 

This is another one of the many problems we have baring it's face, piss poor organisation.

New song for tomorrow.

"Feed the stewards

Let them know it's Christmas time

Oh feed the stewards"

[CornwallFox]

If this was true, then we would be in a parlous state and administration would be a real possibility soon

Would agree, this feels like a piss poor oversight. A real management cock up when taken with recent missteps.

[foxfanazer]

Hope Top goes broke

[coolhandfox]

Another **** up.

[Katy]

Can’t really blame people for thinking we’re skint with our recent track record. We really are an embarrassing shambles. 

[Blue ROI]

No No No we must never doubt our glorious leaders business acumen.

 

He would never neglect his duties like this and go off playing polo.

It’s possible it’s come from a team leader of the stewards, rather than directly from the top office…. Shit rolls downhill after all, which may explain the casual email.
