He certainly knew how to pick them. Also how to keep them on for too long.

If there is any credit to be given to Hughsey he has employed CEOs who have failed on his behalf

Neither blanchard nor mackay were formally interviewed for their jobs.......both had failed in previous roles and both should have been avoided like the plague

selected information? I am intrigued now. Are you suggesting that Hughes employment decisions combined with his own admission that he hasn't a clue about running a business (read a pastel revolution) are NOT responsible for the predicament that the club find themselves in?
Just to recap, the only income the club receives is from the RFL and a share of the profits on merchandise sales....before Hughes steps in a makes up any shortfall. The 2 Year agreement at the Hive ends this year. We do pay rent on offices and training facilities away from the Hive.

You are correct. Problem is, that was 1 year, not a period of time.
The Only ground where we GREW attendances was Griffin Park, but the 4 Year period where we had the most fans was 2006-2009.

Must have been solely down to your skills as a marketeer, delivering door drops.

Nope...it was down to the club having a group of volunteers who were prepared to often as not travel across town after work mid-week to collect the flyers and who then door dropped them to the surrounding area. I was simply a local who was prepared to help out.
Chris Warren was the then Marketing Manager and he had an assistant then too.......neither assisted in the door drops as it was outside of office hours.
