Further to the above comments, Consultants in a work environment are good at gaining most of their insights into the company from talking to employees.  They then use this information as their own ideas in reports to management (for a fat fee).

Managers can also use external consultants to recommend (say) job losses.  If managers are unwilling or too frightened to announce staff redundancies, then it is a good cop-out to blame the decision on recommendations made by consultants.

The civil service spends more hundreds of millions of public money each year on the above points.

Quoted from GrimRob


They might be able to tell you what the ROI of a new main stand would be and where it ranks in the many ways we have of spending money.


Well let's hope we get a bit more information as to the practical benefits to the club, and indeed what the Republic of Ireland has to do with it.

On a more serious note I think it is important they don't get too wrapped up in corporate speak when making these announcements and remember that the majority of our fan base don't spend their days in corporate boardrooms, and might prefer more information on how the club will benefit, and how ,if at all ,it will affect fans. I've seen some comments on Twitter calling it word salad, business gobblygook and what does it even mean.

Yes, I also miss the days of plain speaking and the “laser like” straight-to-the-point language of the prior regime.

tbh I think this is a lot more than just management consultants. This could be taking us from Fenty's early - mid 20th century business model to an operation that may well end up with us being 1 step ahead of nearly all lower league opposition.
The appointment of Gareth Jennings could be a massive appointment. His involvement has been with organisations light years away from we are . Looks like a real coup

and you're far, far more likely to see good footie with data analysis, proper recruitment, a professional operation, a holistic outlook rather than Fenty's 'it's my way or the high way'/'Something will turn up' philosophy

Rather than prejudge, why don’t we wait and see what transpires? The fact that they have a very healthy balance sheet is a great start.

Think I read developing a football plan in there somewhere, something which we have certainly struggled with this season, having a more react to the opposition approach rather stamping our own style on a game.
I wonder if these are also reactions to what we all know was a couple of poor transfer windows really.

That’s where you and I differ- my only reason for sitting in the Pontoon is to hear the latest ‘fancy phrases’ on offer.
