I go back to when the club's backroom staff consisted merely of Major 'Topper' Brown, Jeanette Carmen and good old Tom Pinch (whose various roles included emptying the ' buckets') plus a whole host of well meaning volunteers assisting where they could. Things progressed to the more professional days of Peter Edwards and his hands own approach ( I was once told even stamps were kept under lock and key). OK I accept times change but compared to past times, Essex now employ an army of paid staff.

I quite agree - as would Max Weber as the club has apparently fallen foul of the 'Iron Cage of Bureaucracy' (or cronyism?) in recent years.

I just wish a few other Officials shared Danny's dedication & commitment to duty, he at least has the balls to front up & respond to points raised & criticism some of which is probably unwarranted & not of his doing. As he says he only has a small team, remember we are not like Sorry who seem to be made of money & with larger  staff numbers than us. Give the man (and his team) credit for how much they do for us.

Hmm ... out of the list of member complaints addressed we seem to have got slightly better sandwiches.

Hardly a track record of roaring success in customer relations terms.

Fair points, although I would suggest that ECCC are such a poorly run Club, who habitually waste money that they supposedly don't have, on the likes of Panesar, Willoughby, et al, and a laughable 'redevelopment' that continues to invite ridicule, for just two examples. It has actually reached the stage where they should consider being honest, admitting they have made some rather fundamental mistakes, then look to engage with the membership and invite input to see how they can try to regain some of their acres of lost ground. Here's a tip; people generally warm to honesty!
Unfortunately, the continual denial that anything is wrong, and that ECCC are the victims of a big black cloud that follows them around, delivering nothing but bad luck is frankly embarrassing and will merely continue to lose the Club credibility. Clearly Danny and his team work to hierarchical, top-down orders and have to make the best of things, with the straight-jacket rigidity synonymous with contemporary Essex CCC.

Or he's just gone native given his steadfast refusal to accept that the club were dumped by Ford.

Danny must weep every time Hilliard opens his mouth.
