Not sure if they were made redundant but it's true they've been let go by the club.

Croc-troversy!! Croc-spiracy!! And so on...

How many staff did they have?

Now they must be down to 3 staff in total, watch the club grow, not.

"The Townsville McDonalds Crocodiles are currently going through a restructure and two full time staff members have been made redundant. It was a tough business decision that is necessary to ensure the future of the Crocs into the 2014/15 season."

#142 you're suggesting that the roles that these people filled were NEVER required?

I'm sure the rest of the staff are adding to their own duties to cover the redundancies.
2 full time staffers lost, it's a lot to cover in the average NBL office.

I didn't think the community club model was named as such because it relied on volunteers.

Thats a bizarre conclusion - the notion that because a position has been made redundant then it was never required.

The more likely scenario is the organisation is in financial stress. They have basically said that from what i can gather.

And for whoever said using voluntary labour is another step toward being a community club is delusional. The community model is about ownership, not operations.

I wish anonymous posting became redundant.

The Anonymous who posted at 10.53 last night, you need to take down your post before someone gets sued. The sales person is my cousin and did not have the sales taken off him due to poor performance. It was because of all the other portfolios he had as well. Ask the sponsors what they thought of him and they'll tell you how good he was. Everybody knows what a state the economy was and is in and that's no fault of his. The servicing was apparently given to Pat Reidy and the Board because my cousin was court commentating and could not get to the sponsors while the match was on. The question is, how many sponsorships were sold by PR and the Board after the change? Count them on one hand? As for staff left over, I'm told PR is the only office staff member other than the coaching and fitness staff and one or two volunteers.

Crikey!
With 17 staff in their office, maybe the Cats can lend out a couple to the Crocs for experience purposes?
Is that a record? Sounds like numbers from the old Kerry Stokes' days.
They have (or used to have?) the biggest volunteer group also. Being the envy of all clubs doesn't stop at what they do on the court.

Says who?

So you think thats unfair to the other teams and they should be forced to get rid of some?

285 (and whatever other anons you are), you have no idea what you are talking about.

Of course redundant positions can be filled again in the future, renamed or not. At this point in time those roles are not required. That's all.

No need to make it into something it's not.

Anon, you do realise that workplaces fluctuate in viability right? Nowhere in that link does it say once a role becomes redundant it can never be reinstated. That's ridiculous, and you clearly have no understanding of workplace laws let alone business operations.

And Anon #318 - are you insinuating that operational staff come out of the salary cap?

If the 'cats can employ 17 ops staff and turn a profit and run a successful club - which they clearly do - then all the more luck to them. It'd be great to see more teams in that position.

Exactly.

Why doesn't reidy fire himself and ask himself to continue working full time as a volunteer for no pay?

Mick that sounds like a perfect idea. They'd save more money getting rid of Reidy. What are his quals anyway. Player, fashion shop that closed down, member coordinator of the lowest ticket numbers in the club history, general manager of a club that can now only afford one office person being him by the sounds of things-not a real good management resume.but what would I know, I'm a netball player from Brisbane.

I'm just glad they haven't gotten rid of Shawn Dennis yet, he's a gem and hopefully his game style alone will bring the crocs fans back
