The principles of business are pretty much the same in most industries, however, selling magazines that contains young girls having sex is not quite the same as selling a diet coke at a local newsagent.
I suspect that you would develop a much thicker skin and become less worried of people's thoughts and emotions when your selling sex as opposed to selling diet coke.
However on the other side there is Jacqueline Gold who took over Ann Summers and turned it from a small chain of seedy sex shops patronised by men in dirty raincoats into a multi million pound business with 135 stores across the UK by some out-of-the-box thinking.
If any of the kids are going to take over I'd prefer her
A good read (warning some naughty words included !)
West Ham to appoint director of football , a good move if a bit late
Best way to win support - sign some good players.
Still got there in the end
I have to say that given the boards past performance in filling staff roles I'm not expecting much but I'm not discounting the possibility that I could be pleasantly surprised
Indeed it was.
Because, imo, it was.
Are you in any doubt?
Do you know of any club that gives the Director of Football the power to set transfer budgets?
No I don't. If anything it was more a tongue in cheek question and what I'm really asking is "what will change?"...personally I don't think anything will.
I suspect that all we've seen today is an exercise in keeping fans happy and moving the lady around the table.
I suspect that the Dave's will be the ones that approve any deals. And this director of football will be a yes man/woman who will then get the blame when things go wrong.
A DOF makes sense...my only issue is how much responsibility will the Dave's give this DOF?
I suspect every single deal will need to be signed off by the Dave's...and if so then all we get is a yes man/woman ;puzzled
We may or may not get to know the details (after all, why should we - people are entitled to privacy in their employment matters (unless they are public servants).
