I have enough dealings at work with Digby Jones and Dallas McMillan claims, without my football team encouraging them. Tbh, I'd much rather we continue to encourage gambling or pawning of family heirlooms / stolen goods in the area, than encourage swathes of fraudulent claims. Btw, I have no issue with legitimate claims whatsoever, but the rise of these parasites, the number of fraudulent claims is on the rise, year after year. I'd rather we were sponsored by Uppercrust or the Electric Bar. It's heavy lifting to question the morals and ethical behaviour of G4 and cite Uppercrust as a paradigm of virtue in the same post. #ifyouknowyouknow Edited June 24, 2023 by Kapowzer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20 or so individuals that adhere to all the requirements are on multiples of what we're offering and there's 50-60 clubs ahead of us they'd rather be at. I thought it was Russell who wrote that as a parting gift? The club should certainly never have posted it but having done so, posted a realistic job description as soon as the folly was realised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroy for Prez Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 It was put to me that some of the Van Veen money should be used to get Lasley in as our CEO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On first glance, the new top was classic Motherwell kit, but there's too many flaws on closer inspection. Da f**k is the giant sponsor all about? Fair play to "G4 Claims" though, their washin' basket must be empty. That wonky line is infuriating me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'WellDel Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 His career highlight will probably always be that one, single tackle in front of the East Stand and, to be fair, it was a fucking belter. Now the bold Victor ends up in the English 7th tier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onthefringes Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 21 hours ago, capt_oats said: See, that entirely makes sense because we've not replaced either (AFAIK). Say what you like about Burrows but his job prior to stepping down was CEO not head of comms. Like, I'd imagine he took on some of Grant's role but it'd have been on top of his actual job and I'm sure that wasn't the only stuff he was being asked to cover. Anyway, a friendly reminder that the vacancy for Head of Digital, Brand and Communications was first advertised on 1st March 2022 (and it really is an all timer): https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2022/03/01/vacancy-head-of-digital-brand-and-communications/ It's definitely pitched to a very specific type of candidate... Would Media & Communications Executive be a different role? Just going from LinkedIn earlier this month with promotion from within. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, without seeing the job description it's had to tell in comparison with the original remit that was advertised. IMO there's definitely a difference between "Head of..." and "Executive" roles. In this case whether that's just semantics or not I'm not sure. In other LinkedIn news I see Tom Jones is away to Stoke City. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthefringes Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Agree, hard to gauge. Think it’s a spreading thin of various roles for now. Think we’ll look back at the times of Burrows, Grant et all as halcyon days communications wise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be back in 6 months to link him again, don't you worry! Very relieved he won't be playing against us next season and it looks like the Liam Donnelly to us stuff was nonsense too! Been a good day so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
