If your company/employer was a football club...

Postby DoomMerchant » Wed Apr 04, 2012 2:26 pm

who would it be?

I'm currently working for Stockport County i believe. i once worked for a company who "Did a Leeds" which was entertaining for 3 years...total bloodshed.

How about you?

Unfortunately I work for the scum.

The general public perception is that they are wonderful and everything they stand for is wonderful but the truth is they are a bunch of crooked wankers.

I work for the FA. We are the ones governing the game.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

A mix of Stoke and Arsenal - hard working grafters who are not scared to get stuck in when things get dirty but can also pull together and play fluently to achieve the set goal.

I work City of the 80s. I am my own boss.

No idea, no motivation, no money, no sense of direction (not good for a cab driver), I bumble through from day to day, I have a sense of humour, am pleasant and wouldn't harm a fly. There is something there, if only I could find it.

Sometimes I have glimpses of potential but then it settles down again to normality.

mine feels like City in some respects. a classy organization who aren't always represented as such by the media, and are continually fighting against new legislation trying to make life difficult for us. for all our charitable work, and accomplishments for the greater good, we are undermined by a select few established powerful entities whose party we have crashed.
Berbatov wins golden boot, spends following season on the bench while his team loses title on goal difference. Well played, Fergie.

As per other thread.

Crawley Town, on the up, but assuming promotion this season, may have to consolidate for a period with a mid table place next year.

Further promotion is a possibility with the quality of the squad, but the infrastructure isn't there so could be a step too far.

Other companies I have worked with recently:

Arsenal (02/Telefonica), everything in place, but lacking substance to take a decisive step to greatness
Portsmouth (Bank Of Scotland), total clusterfuck
Manchester United (Santander), don't give a shit about their customers, bullies & cheats
Everton (Co-Op Bank), would like to be bigger, but can't quite persuade anyone to help them get there

The rags as head of PR. I'd then do a full marketing campaign worldwide laughing at how we hate foreigners, southerners and especially the Irish and do everything in our powers to rip them off as much as possible.

That should balance the power a bit

Before this season the company I work for would have been defined as Chelsea, we currently sit at second best in the world, everyone gets paid more than their peers at other clubs. Live on past glories to some extent and some degree of brutal infighting ongoing

he rolls the nickels all right.

You have to admit the guy has a vaudevillian uhm "charm" about it in some apocalyptic fashion. And no, i'm not one of these douches who thinks he some counter culture anti-hero.

related, if he could have harnessed that insanity he could have been one of the real acting stars of that generation.

Barcelona - top of what they do, strides ahead of others in a intense Champions League and look after their own!. I have fallen on my feet with regards my employ :-) If I ask for something to benefit to two folks I support it's there and the best options are always at my disposal. It's 110 % all of the time, ten steps ahead of the two folks and you got to give your all to the cause. We only sign the likes of Messi and Iniesta, only the best will do!
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?
