Apparently the strip delay is something to do with the size of the sponsor on the strip being wrong.

Not club fault on this occassion but Errea.

And surely they could have stuck a prototype on a mannequin, explained the delay but still proceeded with the event and started taking pre-orders instead. Bairns are more excited to see the players and unlikely to worry about the sponsors font size.

You would think the community engagement itself would have perceived value especially just now

Don`t see many defending him, just not everyone fancies a pile on every time there`s an issue at EEP.

Would he have been praised today if the kit launch went ahead, out of interest?

It`s good to know what his role `should be` but we still don`t know what it is.

It seems all he had to do was get a kit launch right. As far as we can see that was linked to rearranging new sponsorship deals which presumably he was heavily involved in.

Meanwhile he was spearheading our recruitment drive. This could mean anything from identifying targets to deciding how much to pay players or their agents and when exactly to abandon one target in favour another.

Oh, and don`t forget to make sure we have a pitch that`s playable for the new season.

And all he was interested in was `sound bites`. Not so long ago he was accused of lacking any communication with the fans so that must be an improvement.

I wonder how many of us would like to be criticised for our performance by people who don`t know what exactly our employers have asked of us?

I`m not trying to defend the club/Cook. I think the guy has been a disaster since he came here and we are a poorly run club.

I`m just relaying what I was told that the mistake was Errea not the club on this occassion.

Go and tell us 3 things you’ve done well Dave?

So `those in the know` can`t agree among themselves who is responsible for getting the size of the sponsor`s name right on the kit! Well, the good news must be that we have a sponsor, which some were doubting.

I`ll continue to take everything that`s posted on here with a pinch of salt, especially from those who claim to have inside knowledge. I certainly won`t be screaming for somebody`s head to roll on the strength of it.

As for the CEO`s successes? Again it`s difficult without detailed knowledge but he must have been heavily involved in the sale of the club from the Germans to James Bord & co and it seems he was quite influential in bringing Neil Lennon to the club, according to NL himself. I think he got credit for the Euros Fanzone last year but that may have been a team effort like a lot that goes on behind the scenes.
