    Up to 18 Albion staff to lose jobs.

    Yep. TBH, I'm still worried about a striker. Leo was great when he was good, but he did go missing a few games. CMS likewise, and I'm worried about how many games it will take for him to get match fit. I'd feel happier if we had a striker who we could rely for 20-25 goals - is that either...

    Up to 18 Albion staff to lose jobs.

    This. Assuming that TB is prepared to fund a loss next season of, say, £7m (and that's a wild guess), I'd be looking to cut as much admin cost back as I possibly could (probably by more than £1m if I'm honest) and get as much into players' wages (assuming that cost = quality, which we know...

    Up to 18 Albion staff to lose jobs.

    Who said it would be junior staff? If you look earlier in the thread, I've said that the average salary is £40-45k and others have said that it could be one or two highly paid people and some lower paid staff. The only thing we know for sure (according to the Argus report) is that they are...

    Up to 18 Albion staff to lose jobs.

    According to the Argus the club are looking for voluntary redundancies (at least to start with). If true, then, unlike Mothers' do 'ave 'em, you can't say "I'm looking for voluneers - you, you and you".... about the most you can do is say, for example, "we're looking for 2 out of accounts, 3...

    Seeing as you're a Palace fan, yes! :wink:

    You're quite right, of course. My numbers are averages......
  7. Goldstone1976

    Up to 18 Albion staff to lose jobs.

    It is indeed bad news for the people affected - they have my sympathies. That said, the club seem to be going about it in the most staff-focussed way they can: looking for voluntary redundancies wherever possible and giving those people enhanced severance packages along with access to...

    Up to 18 Albion staff to lose jobs.

    Very rarely do they cost twice. Sales reps do (commission, cars, petrol). More typically, it's an oncost of 20-40%. some people will say that you need to factor in the cost of the area in the building that they occupy - that will add materially to the cost. However, that's a fallacy - you're...

    £40-45k pa salary doesn't sound like stewards, does it? More like middle mgt in marketing/admin/accounts type salaries....

    Up to 18 Albion staff to lose jobs.

    18 staff to go; anticipated saving =£1m pa = average total cost of £55k/employee = average salary of £40-45k per employee. (pension contributions and Er's NI plus any other benefits need to be deducted to arrive at the salary number)...
