Boro bottom of new sustainability index

ah ok:

Fan Engagement is calculated as the weighted sum of:
• Fan Engagement (provided by the Fan Engagement
Index) with 90% weight
• Percent of stadium filled on league match days with
10% weight


Appendix C: FAN ENGAGEMENT
Fan Engagement Index
The Fan Engagement Index scores clubs on three criteria:
1. Dialogue
2. Governance
3. Transparency
A maximum of 80 points are available for each criteria.
1. Dialogue (80 pts)
(The meetings and processes in place to practice two-way
communication with their fan base and its representatives)
• Structured Dialogue with supporters’ trust/independent
supporters group
• Structured Dialogue with wider group of representatives
• Fans Forums
• Social Media (does the club have a Twitter Help Channel or a
Twitter SLO Channel)
• Any other Dialogue initiatives/innovations
2. Governance (80 pts)
(What underpins or reinforces these relationships)
• Are there supporter directors on the board of the club?
• Customer/Club/Supporter Charter: rating based on whether
it’s easy to find, and contains information about the SLO, fan
consultation, and supporter/customer services
• Whether or not the SLO is clearly a ‘stand alone’ role at the club
• Is there a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or other legal
agreement with supporters’ trust or other independent group
governing their relationship?
3. Transparency (80 pts)
(What they publish in relation to this dialogue)
• Are reports or minutes published of structured dialogue
meetings with supporters’ trust/independent group and/or its
structured dialogue with a wider group of representatives?
• Are agendas published in advance of any of these meetings?
• Are reports or minutes published of fans forums? Are agendas
published in advance of fans forums?
• Does the club report on its board meetings? Does the club
publish an agenda in advance of its board meetings?

Equality Standards is calculated by:
• Ratio of women on the club board (50%)
• Recruitment ratio of women and BAME to leadership
roles (provided by the Football Leadership Diversity
Code) with 50% weight
Where there is no data from the Football Leadership
Diversity Code, a zero score was applied. This is also the
case where it has been unclear at this stage to determine
exactly how many women are among the officers listed on
Companies House. We hope that both of these measures
will be rectified in our next iteration.

The answer is yes to nearly all of these points..SLO Yvonne Ferguson.
Yes we have structured dialogue between fans and club. Minutes are published on boro.support.
And we have a woman as COO of the Riverside, in Helena Bowman.

Rob, on the 'equalities' front your clutching at straws.

the football club (in relation to equality) can be described as Male, Pale & Stale.

there is one woman who works in Sports Science, Frankie Hunter and one woman who is a Corporate Secretary, Karen Nelson.

Helena Bowman is Head of Business Operations (Non Football)

Leo a South American is now in administration.

everyone else on the Management/Coaching staff and in the Corporate Control of the club (Gibson, Bauser, Scott) is Male and White.


Having women working in (for example) catering, cleaning, retail, ticketing & media wont be part of any equation for 'football equality'.

Helena Bowman is effectively COO of the Riverside (in her words) and part of the Executive, making decisions. Yvonne Ferguson is SLO. Lynsey Edwards is Head of MFC Foundation. Karen Nelson is club secretary. Jo-Ann Swinnerton is Head of Retail.
Helena is responsible for everything at the Riverside from the bars to The Killers gig.
It could be a lot better but it is not insignificant.

I see this getting into the minds of fans in a big way. Max it out by having last seasons - LSi, current Season - CSi and next seasons xSi. Could go down well in the stands towards the end of a 0 0 when neither stand can shout "We've scored 1 more than you " but they can opt for , "We've got 22.34 LSi more than you" , that kind of thing
 
We did spend £28m on wages in the last accounts which is big for the Championship, if we do that every year we will have to make a significant transfer profit every season. I assume turnover of around £20m.

We must be top 5 or 6 for wage bills in the championship. To be sustainable, really needs to come down.

But Everton are second in the Prem table with 95% of their total turnover spent on wages. So surely this can only be a small part of what the ratings are based on?

Everton's accounts for the financial year ending June 2021 were released on Tuesday afternoon, and they show losses of £120.9M on turnover of £193.1M, which is the highest in club history.

That follows a record loss of £139.8M in 2020 and a further £111.8M in 2019, with losses totalling £395.4M over the past four seasons.

Wages rose from £164.8M to £182.6M, pushing the club's wages-to-turnover ratio up from an already-high 89% in 2019-20 to 95% in 2020-21.
