Muzza moving to the commercial dept when he retires from playing.
Mr Haggerty moving from commercial to finance.
If there are things going on in the background, that is where they need to stay until something concrete happens.

Everyone at the meeting seemed to be pleased with the outcome.
Of course we would like a rich person to step in and get us full time and back into SL.

I'm sure things are going in the right direction.

I have to say Mal, I was perplexed at some of the above.... The "Commercial Director" getting moved from Commercial to Finance...?? WHY? - His role and task on coming into the club was to carry on the good work that was already in place when he joined the business and to bring more contacts into the club to grow revenue streams.... on what was already a pretty sound commercial footing with lots of business on board, it just needed more development but it had a healthy balance sheet.

My understanding on the last 18M however is that very little if anything at all has been SOLD and lots of match day sponsorship had been left unsold, whereas previously it was pretty much SOLD OUT when handled by other people within the club as stated above. Pre Season had little or no activity and was down by a good £15K based on other years too from what I know, leaving a significant shortfall at the club during a lean time with no other revenue coming in...... Even some senior players sponsorship was still unsold days before the season was due to start. Grixy's was actually one of these and someone who used to be within the club was asked to help to sell it URGENTLY... He subsequently sold it within 2 hours of been asked to help out.... There are lots of other situations that I find poor too....

Recent Events include lots of sponsors unhappy with their returns and have said they will not be renewing. A recent Sponsorship networking event and intended to be a showcase for the club attended by local businesses was allegedly a joke with the Commercial function admitting that they hadn't really done anything and promised to get better. I hear this entire meeting was embarrassing...

Yesterday at the press conference the BOD announced their 6 pillars to drive the club forward and when the press asked what these were, could only name 3 and struggled to real off anything with much solidarity and batted things backwards and forwards without really answering the questions... It was a bit of a train wreck really...

So how can someone who has no expertise or background be now put in Finance, someone who has failed in Commercial and be now moved into this new Finance role? I think it stinks of jobs for the boys and this really needs looking at ASAP in terms of what has actually gone on for the last 18M...? I have heard of nothing significant, yet now people who have taken on the Commercial side for the last couple of weeks have already sold some sponsorship for next year...

Its all well and good to be swanning around like lord of the manor but when it boils down to it what has actually been brought into the club...? Its not good enough IMO and this is something that needs addressing ASAP and questions need asking....

I hope that this is a new dawn for the club but there are lots of other things that need addressing first.... Things that I hear are currently been discussed. Exciting times are ahead (possibly) ;0)

My Humble Opinion Only - let the knockers begin.


Part quote from The Beggars Littany by John Taylor circa 16C

From Hell,Hull and Halifax may the Good Lord deliver us.

Re: Grix : Thu May 23, 2019 11:57 pm  
@ Malfax, moot point, but I do not think you can appoint a permanent replacement, when the present incumbent is on 'gardening leave', technically still employed by the club, but not at work, and cannot seek other employment.

The point I was trying to make was the board were quite rightly having a big announcement, but because everyone knew days before as sky told all and sundry at the Bash.
Therefore they should have either just confirmed it in a press release, or as Chris Smith writes, the BoD made themselves look foolish and ill prepared with their reveals.
No I am not in a position to offer my service, if only...

RM is not on gardening leave and is free to seek out his next role, hence the early link with the Leeds role. He has left the club.... GONE.
