Doublezero Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Almost 30 people on the operations side of things now: managers, directors, assistant directors, coaches, etc. That's almost as many football operations folks as uninjured players. Who is Assistant Director of Football Operations Madeleine Norwell? When did she join the club and what does she do? Anyone?

Noeller Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I would call that a personal assistant/receptjonist/secretary gig.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 If I had to guess, I'd say she probably handles travel logistics, ensuring all players and staff have up to date schedules for travel, practice, etc, handles the per diems and just general stuff like that. But that's a total guess. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrg Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 So the thing we suspected Ross Hodgkinson used to do under a slightly fancier title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 She saw the job posting @ Pinnacle and gave it a shot. And yeah, wow, that is one long list. It actually needs a side scroll bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 According to linkedin, she joined the club last month. http://www.bluebombers.com/david-siddall lists her boss's responsibilities. He's got a ton of stuff to do, both strategic (training camp, salary cap) and tactical (travel, roster transactions). Sounds like a job that could use an entire office, let alone a single assistant.

SPuDS Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Also, kind of needs to be said, who the bleep cares. A secretary/ administrative assistant with a footballesque turn on the title.. Much ado about nothing here but I will say, much rather too many people in ops versus too few as years before.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last month I pulled in the Bomber lot in the morning to go to the store and thought I could get used to doing this every day. Ugh. Retail. Based on all the ranting that is done on the various discussion boards about the Bomber organization, I would hate actually being a part of the team that has to deal with the general public in any way.
