I’m behind the times here 13:49 - Jun 29 with 2074 viewsIllinoisblue

But just watched the 15-min behind the scenes video about the arrival of GON on YouTube. The offices all look clean and modern and befitting of a premier league club. But did anyone else think “what the fk do all these people do?” The game has changed. And we’re no doubt a smaller operation than most other prem clubs.

Would seem upwards of ~700 is a number of full time employees of a PL club, based on a hugely unscientific google search. Some may be smaller like Brentford, but Brighton and Fulham seem to have ~700 / 750

(Looks very posh doesn’t it. I’ve no idea what they do. There’s about half a dozen in comms/media in that video, which seems ridiculous for a relatively small company). Although comms is obviously important.

Averaged 369 through 24/25 at the end of the last financial year (so ~12 months ago), up from 295 the year before.

It did look more befitting of a Slough based paper merchants than a football club.

Hey, Illy! Been meaning to ask. I'm running the Chicago Marathon on 11th October this year. Any idea what I can expect the weather to be like? Obviously not after specific weather on the day - just what a typical mid-October might be like.

Nice one! October is normally a great month weather-wise. Anywhere mid 50s to mid 70s are likely. And assuming the marathon route takes you in or around the lake, should be a nice breeze to cool you down. Good luck!

A good few years ago I worked for a well known electrical distribution equipment manufacturer based in Tefford albeit at the time I was covering East Mids and East Anglia and we approx 40 sales people covering the country

Aside from that we had in excess of 35+ marketeers who backed us

Essentially we were known as a marketing company and not a manufacturer really - 25+ years on and the brand still lives on very strong to this day thanks to the efforts of those marketeers all those years ago

For sure marketing and branding are important. Not sure it directly translates to football given that positivity and success is tied so closely to what the first team does. That said, Ashton’s clear love and ambition for the Foundation and community outreach is massively important in winning over the hearts and minds of not just fans but beyond, too.
