And Debbie thought the job was so wonderful and loved everybody so much that she decided to leave after 2 and a half years
Shes clearly ambitious. Would you turn down a higher profile job with better financial rewards if you where ambitious too? I know i certainly wouldn't if it felt right despite me enjoying my current role. |

Fans are entitled to moan after the worst defeat at home for 77 years and we all know it could of been worse at Mansfield.

People saying it has no impact on the playing side of things ? How do they know ? How much money is being rinsed trying to achieve this vanity project which could be better spent elsewhere ? Like on a CB that wouldn’t get rinsed when 1-0 up?

But you don’t know anything and you’ve got a strong opinion. Why don’t you tell us?

We can only spend 55% of our income on the playing budget. How much have we spent on this 'B-Corp Vanity Project' given that B-Corp is more about values, culture, transparency and accountability? |

https://bcorporation.uk/b-corp-certification/pricing/Good luck finding a top quality centre-back for that money. Something like B-Corp isn't about chucking money at it to get the certificate. It will be and is done from existing resources, it's about changing (or at least confirming) how you operate. Even if the club has to change some of the things they do to meet B-Corp, it'll make us a better organisation in the long term. I know long-term is a concept you're probably unfamiliar with but to break it down, it's the complete opposite of the bodge-it-today-someone-elses-problem-in-the-future approach that you were involved with previously. |

Correct. There's plenty to moan about. I don't think B-Corp is one of them though. |

I actually think it will do us more harm than good, and is a bit of a vanity project for the owner who wants to continually show how elevated his principles are.
He seems to want to deal with people who share these lofty ESG type commitments. Most people have sound values, certainly any that he would deal with regularly, but most people and businesses are not interested in these artificial constructs but prefer to conduct themselves in a more rational way than forever making sure they are on the right side of the B Corp regulations.
He mentioned many months ago about not wanting / needing new investment until they are the right people and I suspect he means he only wants to work with people who have "values" that align with his in this particular way.
I, like most of us, am intensely proud of my set of values and the way I lead my life but I wouldn't need a list of rules attached to it given to me by a third party.
He obviously feels it will open some doors to us unavailable to other clubs, but I would have thought his personal reputation and business acumen would have done that in the first few years without using valuable resources and time on it at the moment.
Nice to see a rational and well thought out argument against this application. I do wonder if the fact that it's taking so long is more of an indictment on football in general. The company I work for got B Corp status last year and while I wasn't involved in the process, everyone had to attend a one hour long presentation about what this meant for the company and they briefly touched upon some of the hoops they'd had to jump through and there were a few instances whereby I thought that could possibly prove to be a stumbling block for a football club. You could have all the good intentions in the world, but if your industry is a rat infested cesspit then it's gonna be more difficult. |

Stockwood alluded to this yesterday, saying that we need to be assessed slightly different as football isn't like any other business. |

I just have told you , this left wing drivel is all about the egos of those that run the club. But ‘for the many’ is the mantra yeah ? |
