Gotta be honest GH is way out of depth....i mean other than helping save the club, being CEO over 7 SL titles, 3 challenge cups, 3 wcc, turning a debt making business into a million pound profit making business, forming an outstanding foundation which benefits thousands of people in the city, building the carnegie stand what has he done for us???
Seriously guys some of these comments are ridiculous.
Trust GH we will come thru this. May take a year or 2 but weve talented kids coming thru and they need to be given a chance which the club is doing.
Nobody is disputing what he has done in the past it is what he might do in the future - this is a club that is going backwards. The squad is as weak as it has been for years I would hazard guess that the likes of Leigh, Castleford, Catalans and Hull will be closer to the cap than Leeds. Under investment in the product you are selling gives your competitors the opportunity to leave you behind.
It would not take much for a £1m profit business to turn into £1m loss business and as the refurbishment of the stand has shown the club is hardly awash with reserves. It is very unlikely the club with have the success on the field and the revenue it brings for the foreseeable future so the chances of a downward spiral are greater than a period of sustained growth.
We might have some talented kids but none are as good as the kids that sustained the team through the golden period - I don't see another Kevin Sinfield, Danny McGuire, Ablett, Hall or Watkins. Let's be honest we have a huge problem at hooker now and no youngster even on the horizon in that position. I would suggest signing the likes of Ormondroyd and Aston would suggest the talent coming through isn't of a suitable quality at the moment?
Something just isn't right?
