Hes free to post on here what he has done, what his ideas are, what he has in the pipeline, if hes read the ideas on here.

When we last asked the club what has the commercial manager done.. THEY SAID WE DONT KNOW.

So if people are wondering what hes doing, he could tell us? He may even get some help.

Even better, as you're the messenger, get him to tell you EXACTLY what work he has done of which we have seen te benefits, and pass the message on to us!

how do you know this new 11th hour investor has nothing to do with him?

How do we know it does? And if all hes done in 4 months is find one person who might invest... its nothing to get the bunting out over is it.

Jose, the easy thing is for him to communicate as i said he might get some help and ideas. If hes gonna be aloof and distant and throw the toys out its not good is it.

Indeed only saying he should communicate because we arent aware he is doing anything or being successful, if he is then tell us about it and he will get support.

Jgfc... I think you should phone him and ask him the questions... also ask him what the fans can do to help.... I agree with you that he should come on here.. but if he wont, we need an intelligent person to call him, and as you seem intelligent i vote that you call him....

The new guy at woking came in and their commercial dept had gone poor... Anyway hes busy everyone knows him hes trying loads and people can see this. Hes brought out merchandise, events , new sponsorship deals and is getting the news out.

Its NOT MY JOB to try and find out what hes doing. By being seen to be active people may appraoch him with ideas or a wish to sponsor or advertise.

If he wants to learn a little and start communicating he will get praise and support it also opens up routes for people to come to him.

The ball is in his court. Thats all i have to say on it, if hes being successful then well done but none of us are aware of it or what hes even done or is doing, Dont think thats right... do you?

Hang on a minute - we have a commercial manager????

When was this announced? and how long has he been in the job? Did the club announce his appointment in the programme or online? did i miss a thread on here?

I'm not being sarcastic but I thought we had Barry Wallis, then no one, then recently a couple of guys who were in and out in a flash.

Richard? whoever he is good luck and i'm glad we have someone. Why don't we know? I, and i'm sure others, could pass on contacts, ideas etc (if we knew).

cheers, that's a bit clearer. Still any club appointment in my opinion should be announced officially.

5 year olds know how to use the internet and he takes more than 5 hours to log on? Is he still trying? Does he need help with his keyboard? It's laughable. He could have sent a letter to the club and got James to put it up on the website. If he was that bothered he could have used someone else's internet connection, if he trusts them that is.

Understand what you are saying - but a lot of us thought you were being brought in to help us in our hour of need - it seems you are using our difficulties as an excuse for why you haven't been able to achieve anything.

I understand that this is  really difficult in our present situation - but you knew that when you took on the role.

Not saying I could have done better but then again I am not a commercial manager.

Hmmm

What new packages have you come up with for sponsors/advertisers
What new sponsors or advertisers have you come up with
What events have you pencilled in to raise awareness and funds
What previous sponsors have you got back on board (old leads)
Have you targeted all the shops in Welling/Bexleyheath/Sidcup and sent them flyers?
Have you developed a mailing list via post/email/sms

Rich are you telling us that we havent achieved anything yet since youve been commercial manager? Yes its part time but you are paid via commission. Lets be brutally fair here, most people have never even heard of welling united let alone any HMRC case so that shouldnt be a huge issue and only one to approach if they mention it.

The key is bringing in new money and attracting new businesses. In 4 months i would have expected a few on board?

If you see yourself as someone who is helping out in part time to bring in a few quid, thats probably not what we need, we need someone who has some balls, communicates and has lots of ideas and can nail new deals.

Excellent that youve posted at last and hopefully we will see your skills and some new initiatives.

Im a bit worried you cant spell commercial in your user name and the post is littered with spelling mistakes not typos, as what should have been done immediately was getting some bumph and literature spun off to email or hand out to contacts.

Thanks Kev,

There are lots of ways of raising much needed funds for the club, but Im only on here briefly to get my point across as havent got all day to type. If people wish to have a chat with me I'm available between now and 1pm during on my lunch hour to answer any questions people have with regards commercial or fundraising so please feel free to give me a call.

With Regards to JGFC not got time to talk on here my number is 07720 888 320 call me and we can have a chat about anything you want.

Rich

Well done for coming on here anyway rich

Yes it's going to be a bundle of laughs isn't it :D

We all wish him the best - his message just came across as very defeatist - what's the point we're all doomed. Not going to get much business if that is reflected in any discussions

Have we shafted every firm in Welling, might be an idea to invite them to the meeting on Saturday and get them to air their views. Maybe we can get some on side.
