TH, I have been in a managerial position for the last 30 years, including when I was playing football semi-pro. If the chairman liked the cut of your job, he made you a manager in his business, with hours based around training and match days. I also got a uni degree in my available hours. You?
I now manage a business for a guy who is basically incompetent, which makes me indispensable. I have grown his business from the days when he was driving an S plate Toyota Have with foam sticking out of the seats. He now cruises around in a Merc M series, and we also have a 12 month old Mitsubishi L200 and Peugeot Boxer.
I sent his tax assessment to his accountants today in the same XLS spreadsheet format as last year. When I first started working for him he asked me to send them an email saying "same as last year". I had to explain to him that's not how it works.
Tell me again that I couldn't run a chip shop. In the late 90's I took the Greyhound in Sydling St Nicholas in Dorset from 4k pa to 12k pa in three years. Google the pub.
LOL. I am a workaholic, but I set the work environment, because I understand how to get the best out of people, without 70's "jump when I say jump" management techniques. Then again, you won't have experienced 21st century management techniques.
Run away. You told me that I couldn't run a chippy. 22 years ago I was running a pub in Dorset that was taking 12k per per week. I am much smarter than you are. Accept it.
Not in the slightest bit interested means nothing to me that is pennies I machined forgings worth hundreds of thousands of pounds guess what I was not concerned in the slightest so why should a paltry 12k mean anything. I am worried that we might not get three points tomorrow night.
guru is correct as usual it was a winnable game. Our manager has given an apology to the fans that went so he has admitted that he got it wrong.1-0 to the main man.
Chucking out of your gang now TH. While every game , in theory at least, may be winnable, sadly reality says different. Most of us live in the real world.
