It seems odd given who they are and what they did?

There is no obvious connection in their roles within the club?

God knows whats happening?

I believe one of the three has already lined up a new position for himself. So while he is devastated at having left County at least he is not high and dry at a time when it's going to be very hard to get re-employment.

Read on Facebook Alan Lord is retiring and Damien Allen was going to be looking after the youth side. I always had Turnbull ear marked to take that on but it has happened a bit before I originally expected.

Re Dawson and Lockyear, suspect Stott wants his own people and a list of off field staff with good qualifications was announced in a programme shortly before the lockdown.

They obviously want to put their own team in place. The CEO is in and they had already brought in the chap from Fleetwood.

I am glad they have kept JG. Would have been a BAD move to bin him off.

I’m not if he is given what he needs we will go straight up next season with JG if he instead wants to build a team within a budget we will go up in 3 at the most

But given that MS wants us in the championship in 7 their is not much room for error - but JG has done either way so I am confident 🙂

i,d be worried only if we miss out on promotion next season. he might not get as much slack off the owner than we would give him. the only guarentee that we,ll get promoted is when it actually happens.

Look, it's not a joke. I feel sorry for them. It's ruthless. It's sad to see them go, like Terry who had but 25 years into the club, new owner came in and let him go. Should have kept him on, for his knowledge alone, as he should have kept Mark, Simon and Lordy on for their expertise and knowledge of the running of the club.

I just hope that no more are going.

I agree scb I'm very surprised they expecting to interest high quality candidates at that level of remuneration.

If its just an administrative function then OK but if its in any decision making role I cant see too many "higher flyers" considering it.....unless given the current employment crisis "needs must"

No I'm not. It's upsetting that they have gone. Gutted. But in any business, when new owners move in, it happens.

Players are on fixed term contracts and with a few limited exceptions, they are not County fans. Whether rightly or wrongly they are in the public eye and they are the product we pay to see.

If they succeed they generally move on for more money. If they fail, we need to honour the contract.

Also I try to be careful what I say about players, even if they are not very good, but like others, I probably overstep the mark sometimes, as football is a game of emotions.

However, typically the back room staff at County are supporters of the Club, very dedicated and generally not paid a great deal of money for what they do. They are servants of the Club.

We wouldn't like anyone commenting on our jobs on a public messageboard, so I don't see why this is OK for backroom staff at County?

The one that surprise me is Simon Dawson as hell appeared to have done a fantastic job including with the concerts last summer.
Alan Lord is no real surprise, it appears he may be retiring anyway but of the 3 he was no spring chicken and was also doing the scouting/youth set up in partnership with his own business, sort of makes sense to move it in house.

even at alan lords age there are plenty doing scouting jobs a lot older than he is. being a full time club scout without any coaching on field stuff seems an ideal job for alan lord. he knows the game and will know the type of player jim is interested in.
