beijing red Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Where I am coming from is that over the years many people , myself included, feel that City supporters have been shabbily treated. If you don't feel that you have, well,fair play to you. Many have complained of feeling taken forgranted, and not being treated as a 'paying customer' should be. Surely you've been aware of this? We needed to change, or the customer....us....would have gone elsewhere for our entertainment. If employee change was required to enable this....so be it. Some employees may feel hard done by, but that's the way the world is at the moment. My opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfred Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 That is fact mate. All over city's website. Then they are gone a few months later. Jayne maggs was gone pretty much as she got back from the euros, just weeks after being splashed all across the website say how great she was and how good it was that a Bristol city employee was being recognised in this way. So I don't know where you are coming from on that basis. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Jayne Maggs leave the club rather than being made redundant?

But there are individuals at the club, jayne for instance, who has been nothing but great. There have been glowing endorsements for her many many times. And that was recognised. Yes there have probably been staff released that needed releasing. But dumping the good staff, and staff that you have commended highly as a club 2 or 3 weeks before, and given her a mouth piece on their own website. Something there is not quite right. Btw. This is my opinion, not that of my mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know she was shat on from a great height. Given the ultimatum to half her salary if she wanted to stay I seem to remember a petition at the time to try and get her job back and funded properly by a lot of disgruntled fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised she left on that basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
