Redundancies Because Of Adidas Deal

[ChookterDon]

Starting off i was exchanging some items in the club shop today and was talking with the shop manager. I was saying about how glad i was this season was over. She said she was on the footballing front but not on the job front. Reason being all the staff who are in the shop were originally employed by AFC. But when the Nike Just Sport deal was announced the team in the shop were put under Nike contracts. Now that the deal is coming to an end the club and Nike are making the staff redundant. The shop is then going under its major new Adidas facelift which is all good and well but they will be employing new staff. What an absolute joke! It's a disgrace! The staff in the shop are gobsmacked at this decision as was I when she told me!

 

On another front i've seen the new home, away and third adidas kits for the 11/12 season.

Lets just say i think they look hot as f**k! Not sure on the Away kit at the moment but it'll grow!

 

I'm not saying anything else!

Also i bumped into a very annoyed looking Archie Knox! Darren mackie walked past me to, seems he's still got a very slight limp on his left leg but was looking sexy as he always does.

 

STAND FREE

Shame for the staff but don't see the problem with replacing them, probably cheaper staff.

 

 

[fine-n-dandy]

I'd imagine that most of the staff will eventually just be taken on by adidas though but maybe they'll bring in their own shop manager for example.

 

Although, all will most likely have to reapply for their old jobs though.

Give the shop managers job to Langfield. Guranteed to drop the prices

you can't mention seeing the new tops and not give us an in depth description of them!

[Jazzer_Bett]

There is a strip thread already.

Certainly some of the staff in our shops wont be missed - especially in Bridge Street one.

Only been in that shop once since moved to Aberdeen and have to say the two folk were pretty sh*t.

Last time I was in I was greeted by this lovely ditty from a rather heavy set lass

 

"Aye, fit yi lookin' fur"

im not saying anything in here because minijc is no doubt lurking waiting to batter me about a certain london clubs deal with just sport.

 

all adidas need to do, and this is a simply one....stop taking in XXXL in stupid numbers and create more medium and large stuff. do that and unsurprisingly, youll sell alot more stuff.

 

be happy to see the back of that Avec sh*te aswell. tatty crap.

It was me who originally hassled you about Fulham ;-)

[steems]

Nike had nothing to do with the club shop - so why would they have a contrcat with Nike?

I think they've been missing since the just sport deal, place has been closed every time I've been past. Also isn't the Bridge St store closing anyroad sure I didn't see it mentioned in the Adidas deal.

[ChookterDon]

The staff are employed by NIKE Just Sport mate!

And nah, i'd all i'm saying about the new kits are they look a lot nicer than the nike ones.

I'll try and find the templates used and then you can used your imagination!

STAND FREE

 

Does this really need a thread ?

 

The shop staff are sh*te anyway and as welcoming as a boot in the balls

[tup]

Last time I was in, they were standing about doing f**k all.

 

If they've f**k all to do, bullet them.

 

I welcome this development. Hopefully they are not replaced, certainly not at any cost to the club.

 

One person could run it, easily.

[Jazzer_Bett]

New start with new players, new start with new strip and new staff.

 

Most people buy online all you need is a fit burd on the till smiling and saying STAND FREE.

 

MEANWHILE

Keep this other thread to the strips, and not peripheral nonsense.

staff it with the youth team players

[Pash]

I prefer Jazzer_Bett's idea personally!

[ChookterDon]

I'm not caring whether the staff are amazing or not at greeting you. The fact is I just find it sheer ludicrous that they employ new people to do the same job. The club is having to spend more cash on training them up. Adidas are only paying for the shop re-fit.

[RUL]

How much training will they require like?

[ChookterDon]

Well the usual. Banking, refunds, sales, items, tagging, prices, sales manner etc etc.

[tup]

All highly taxing of course, these common sense issues.

 

Training? 10 mins max.

Beat me to it. Semi competent manager with an able back up and a few folk who have worked in Asda is the bottom line.

[Red Ram]

Plenty of other threads to talk about our squad plans this summer, we're talking about the club shop here.

[ChookterDon]

hahaha, nah i'm just stating even though it will take 10 minutes, it'll cost the club money.

What costs will be incurred by in house training? We don't need no management gurus coming in, all we need are friendly welcoming staff who run a well stocked club shop.

No but as it's adidas they will want it all run "their" way!
