B corp status

Quoted from GibMariner

No yet, but it will be when implimented and the confomances of systems insalled need to be maintined to keep the acreditation. Any positives from such a labouros system can be implimented aside of B Corp.

You know nothing about it!
‘Conformances’ is a good one.
You just want a stick and someone to hit with it.

Quoted from HerveJosse

Yes he was a trustee of B Lab U.K. the quango/ charity that runs B Corp certification . Resigned in Nov 2021 . Perhaps he should of stayed on until we got our certificate

Ah, I wondered why he is so wedded to it when no one else in football, and elsewhere really , is remotely bothered.

There is always a reason lurking somewhere when something so left field occurs.

He has such a good reputation in business I don't think he needs it but if he is/has been involved personally that explains it.

B Corp is  supposed to improve employee retention . I hope it doesn't apply to player retention.

In terms of the on-pitch challenges facing us, B-corp is a complete red herring. It’s not of priority status. It’s nothing to do with what we’re all mostly concerned about and occupied with. Nobody is talking about it presently - least of all Stockwood, or Artell or Harry f*cking Clifton or John Tondeur.
It’s just the usual bunch of wangs blathering on about something they know nothing about, but have decided is ‘woke’ or ‘lefty’ as a cause of the substandard performances of our playing squad because that’s the only level on which they can operate. Dog whistled to death by their favourite media outlets they do the ‘don’t think, just feel’ act to a tee. There isn’t even a sensible and timely conversation to be had about B Corp at this point because it’s not relevant. It’s not salient. It’s sideshow for clots.

Lol just spat my tea out!

Quoted from 123614

So how we played in the first 40 minutes was dog excrement?  I don't think so.  We went 2-1 down due to individual errors then the majority of the players gave up, for whatever reason.  That first 40 minutes showed that we CAN play good football, we just need to continue to play that way for the full 90 minutes.

The games 90 mins not 40 as you point out , we can’t maintain the required standard for the entire game spells of being ok ish aren’t good enough. Individual errors are normally down to poor positioning , not reading the game well enough , lack of pace , lack of strength etc a lot of our players can’t pass a ball to a team mate at pro level that is amazing.  Another season and we’re hoping to finish 3 rd from bottom , if we want to compete at the top end most of these players must be replaced and that includes fan favourites

I don’t think anyone will disagree with that mate. It’s a fact.

Given the revolving office door we won’t be getting it anyway.

B Corp isn't necessary, doesn't make sense for a football club and you can do all the things it stands for without signing up to some accreditation system that takes a lot of time and a bit of money to implement.

It is a distraction, not to the footballing side but to the fans. It gets people thinking that these values matter whilst we offer minimum wage for jobs that pay 50k elsewhere. It's total nonsense, but at the end of the day it's not the reason we're this excrement.

Much bigger questions are why is a new training ground taking so long? What happened to the new stadium this consortium publicised before purchasing the club? And why do we claim to be spending more than ever whilst looking as bad as ever? Even the pub team Holloway built wasn't this bad.

Quoted from diehardmariner

.

I don't understand why there's this belief that the things we do off the pitch like B-Corp, working on the culture, improving the set-up, the fan experience can only be done in isolation and at a different time from stuff on the pitch.   They're literally two completely different entities.  Dave Artell, Paul Hurst, Ben Davies, Dave Moore, Harry Clifton....none of them will probably have any real awareness of what's going on with the B-Corp certification.  Even if they are, it's out of our hands now altogether.  Other than Smith/Stockwood/Debbie Cook looking at their e-mails every day to see if there's any update, we're not really putting anything (and nor can we) extra into it at the minute anyway.

Because to some .....
in 1978/79 we had players who spent a third of their day in the Ritz Cafe and another third in the pub or bookies.....they didn't need b Corp to win titles and promotion....

And to those people...... nothing in the world of football, or even the world,  has changed since then so that formula should still
work .
