Job Going At City - ''Trainee Memberships Executive''{merge}

Why do they need the fans to vote for whoever is going to get the post? Did they ask us to vote for a new manager? Very strange attitude.

Sorry but if we are employing people to do the HR for the club then surely they should be the ones earning their money and appointing the best person for the role.

And probably being slightly controversial........... were there no women who applied? Just a thought.
 
This whole thing doesn't sit well with me at all. It's almost American in it's cheese factor. The majority on here are going to vote for a lad with a local accent which is completely understandable. As it happens if I do vote he will also be my choice, not because of his accent but he just seems a little more level headed than certainly the first candidate. But surely the suits at City should be making decisions like this not leaving it open to the fans.
 
The fans get to choose because they are going to be working a fan based role.

Also the HR department have narrowed down loads of entry's to 3.

It still doesn't sit right, how do we know that there were loads of entries? And if they are so interested in getting the fans views maybe we should have seen all the entries? Were there any women who applied? Just because it is a fan based role doesn't mean that the fans should be the ones choosing!! All we see is 1 minute of a video with the answer to one question. How can you judge someone's competency for a major role in our club on that 1 minute 3 seconds and 1 minute 2 seconds.

Crazy. (IMHO)

This sums up very well why this whole idea is ridiculous.

I appreciate their attempts at fan outreach but there was nothing wrong with the former system. This, City Voice and the like are poor solutions.

The internet and matchday is absolutely full of opinions on these matters, having one person be the "representative" makes me feel that they don't understand the concept of representation.

Look at hoe passionately opinions differ on the relative merits of a player on here and how wide those views are. There's no way that one person, no matter how qualified they are or aren't, could possibly represent fans.

It's a bit patronising to be honest. Like they think we're one homogeneous group of flag waving chippy Mancs who love Oasis and think the Poznan is the height of hilarity and "having a good time". If they want to know "what being a Cityzen truly means", and it's been spelt as Citizen for 70 years you fucking idiots, then why don't they use things like videocast meetings and the like to get as wide an opinion as possible?

Pisses me off this type of stuff. It's marketing bollocks, and even worse than that it's incredibly poor marketing bollocks.
 
Good luck to whoever gets the job, they are already onto a loser judging some of the comments on here. They will have their hands full with this job

I read somewhere once that our fan base is quite old in terms of the age brackets. I am 43 so must be in the middle to old aged bracket. Seems we may have lost a lot that are now in the 25 to 40 range due to our lack of success. Maybe this is aimed at ensuring that does not happen any more or rather we attract more of the 10-25 from now on. If utd get one we need to get 2 so in the future we have a fan base.

Saying that my two kids are blues, have i done my bit, where was my interview

Quite agree, I was hoping it would have the feel of genuinely appointing a blue to offer constructive improvements and help the club tailor the marketing campaign to avoid certain things we don't like and avoiding including things in the membership that would be of little use or irritate us.

Instead it seems all about finding a "big" fan who they can market as looking after our interests when in reality they'll likely end up a yes man and if we don't like it it will be our fault because it would have been "what we wanted".

Apologies for being cynical.

So the fans dont really have a say just a vote for 3 strangers who we have never met or heard about
 
Anyone who seriously thinks that their vote will have any bearing on the selection really needs to get out more.
