Yes of course it is. It's when the passion becomes blinding and aggressive, that can create a concern.

I know it must be tough back home. I guess I was lucky to see us when we were competitive for a few years. Even back then people would still coat off players.

I know you call it as you see it and are passionate. Hes gone now.

As for doing everything in his power to drive them away. Prove it was his intent. Prove that he did everything in his power to drive them away. You can state all the figures that we already know about. But prove that was his intent.

None of us are happy where we are and know this was down to his poor judgement, incompetence and lack of any results, but to say that he comes on here to gauge what fans think and then does everything in his power to drive them away. Simply ridiculous.

I find it funny that he swore at someone who has had pops at him. Sorry. Appropriate behavoiur? Of course not. He was leaving and thought he'd have a dig. Acceptable? No. But it happened.

What was said by him and could you put it into context as to what was said to him please?

Sussex and then surrey cricket fans, together with London Broncos fans can testify to his arrogant 'I don't give a toss about your opinion" attitude when dealing with members/season ticket holders.
His Stated aim when he joined us on Jan 14th 2011 was to deliver more fans, more awareness and to embrace the culture surrounding the sport in London.......if he didn't intend to alienate the amateur clubs, the long term fans, steal a sponsor from London RL, of our landlord at the stoop, off the owner of Gillingham, off most of the playing staff, of Kleanthous to the extent that the RFL had to dive in and "incentivise" the new landlord and essentially off everyone he came into contact with, then he was doing a very good impersonation of someone who did.

He is useless. I will ensure that wherever he pops up next will be fully versed on exactly how ing useless he is.....it's only Libellous if it's not true



Off to the Warriors now..............think they could be in for a rude awakening themselves this evening having done little in the way of marketing the game today.....but at least I can attend a "home game" without having to jump on a bloody plane

Well what do I know? 22k in the cake Tin with hardly any overt marketing. Time for NZ II in the NRL.....CRACKING GAME TOO.

You have failed to prove intent.

He was just poor at his job.

You have failed again.

GF is right though. The Warder did indeed do a very good impersonation of someone who set out to destroy the club.

twice in one post?
I haven't failed. You set me a task that was impossible to complete. All I have done is offer instances and examples of how the ex CEO behaved and how he created a negative aura around the club as well as pretty much destroying the relationship between the club and the fans......something that had previously ensured we stumbled along on a 3k average.....not ideal, but you could take a 40k season total as a done deal until he arrived.
You, on the other hand hide behind your straw man of intent whilst offering no positive counter argument to my negative instances.
If anyone has failed, it is you. Purely because I can lists instances (a great many) where he performed tasks that were to the detriment of the club, whilst you can list none......not one thing he did that has had a positive outcome for the club.

So, you can't prove your earlier statement that "he did everything in his power to drive fans away" He was crap yes. Anyway can list examples of that. Glad we cleared that up.

Gutters
there is no need or call to resort to language that fits your name.
its gutter language no matter how much you dislike a bloke, for who he is or what he has done, calling him what you did on an ooen forum is unacceptable.
And its the sort of language that should result in moderators acting.

Fwiw, players swear, but it can easily result in em sitting on the sidelines for the rest if the game.
There is no justification for him to swear at anyone, I do have to ask though how far was he pushed to react.
dont want to be funny but paddock has made his thoughts as clear as you, interesting that he was at the game though he did say he would go nowhere near while gus was there.

Dancing on his (metaphorical) grave is acceptable [in'est pas[/i?

Gus had already been effectively sacked after all.

Stop whining....there's an AUP and I haven't broken it.
I am stunned that so called supporters of the team seem more intent on getting moderators involved here than actually letting Hughes know that he's killed the club...stone dead.
As for MacKay......seriously, I have been gentle.

Not whining mate.
you are using unacceptable language on an upen forum.

1. Prohibited Content1.1. Messages that contain a level of profanity or sexual content that exceeds the moderator's definition of acceptable are prohibited.* In practice this means content that would not be allowed on television before the 9pm watershed and also applies to website addresses that link to such material. Think of it like this: any post should

Nah...you're whining...in fact, your ing whining

Is it just me thinking that this is all a bit childish?

I was in the background when Gus was in discussions about taking over a training faciility at a rugby club which has over 450 kids playing each week.

His pompous manner, ignorance, stupidity and rudeness was incredible.

He is a total tool and has killed this club and in tandem with the RFL doomed RL in this country as well...

Yep.

Is that a personal or a professional complete tool?

No...not just you.

Maybe Gutterfax And Rooster Booster could settle their differences by means of a charity boxing match or similar physical contest. Loser to shut up for good. Broadcast on the net £5 per ticket, for charity. Otherwise it will just go on and on....

You'd get more money if PP v Gus was on the undercard!

Let's put it this way, he made himself look stupid when trying to come on strong with empty promises regarding Sport England backing.

Even if he had somehow managed to turf out the other clubs at the facility, would anyone in Rugby League want the bad publicity about taking away a sports grounds that kids use every week?

As a person I have no clue what he's like, as a CEO, he's is useless.

Nope, why i have almost given up on this forum. Every thread ends up in a written slanging match between a small group about each other - not about the team, the performance .........................................

TBF its a forum with differing views. If people decide to hijack it, then they can derail any thread they like, then again moderators can step in. Winston Churchill made the ultimate point about free speech. Its well worth looking up. Let trolls run free!!
