Yeah, Woking struggling a bit though this season after making the play-offs last year. Just the 3 goals for Podge this season - he’s 36 now. Where does the time go?

. The club clearly know they can rely on an unending stream of young kids, probably a few months on from graduating in BA (Hons) Football Business & Media at UCFB, who want to break into the football industry, and as such can get away with offering such a paltry salary as they use the role as a stepping stone (like the last guy, who's left and gone to Newcastle, who'd you'd hope with all their blood/oil money are paying more than £24k a year to their Media & Comms employees).[/quote]

Pay £40k a year and several on here would be having a meltdown on why that money isn’t being used to get in a better centre back! Like others have said it provides a good route into the industry and opens up great opportunities for the future if you’re any good. Plus we don’t know if the salary is reviewed regularly and increased quickly based on performance.

Speaking as an old fart, it is probably always some very young person as they are into all the various media outlets, Facebook, X, tick-tock etc.

I think it is by nature a role which has a high turnover. Else you end up with “so what type of player are you” for 20 years. Difficult to come up with constantly new ideas for something as narrow as this. Best thing to do is keep it fresh, give people who want to do it a leg up, and help them on to better things. There are still loads roles in media (especially in London) which are filled on an unpaid intern basis.

Quoted from diehardmariner


And this is how it's always going to be.

Every time that role is advertised there's near universal condemnation of the salary on offer.

I guess the expectation and understanding from the club is that it's high risk of a quick turnover rate.  These lads (or lasses) will come in, get a bit more experience, exposure, build up some more contacts and then move on. We get the benefit of fresh eyes and ideas in frequently but no stability and continuity.  Stockwood has spoken previously, on more than one occasion, that he wants people to leave for bigger and better things because it means the club are doing things right.  I'm fully on board with that.

In some ways it's not too far away from the approach to the playing staff.  Get people in who can help you move forward a little bit, knowing that if they're successful they'll move on.  Difference to the playing staff and non-playing staff is whilst the former will hopefully generate you a transfer fee which you can reinvest, the non-playing staff don't.  But they might move the dial a little as an organisation overall, hopefully generating more income...in term we can play better wages further down the line and attract better candidates etc. etc. etc.

The low wage approach sits very uncomfortably with me and it still surprises me when we look at what 1878 say they're about.  But I can see the logic and long-term approach to it.


That's not why they are leaving.

Why are they leaving? It can't be Debbie's fault anymore as she's leaving.

Joe came here from doing the same role in rugby, isn't from the town so doesn't have blinded loyalty and has just landed the same role at a Premier League team.

Football does pay non-playing staff notoriously low; the salary and job expectations for a lot of what we have advertised don't marry up to me, but that is football.

Who said anything about it being Debbie's fault.

Who do you know left because of her?
