| Quote ="gutterfax"1. Before anyone is appointed to any position where the responsibility is to grow the club and create a future for the business, Hughes needs to be made to make it clear what his intentions are for 2015 onwards.
If he wants to continue to invest, even at a reduced rate, then fine, but he needs to understand that his influence stops when the ink is dry on the cheque. AK also needs to make his stance know now for 2015 onwards....landlord or partner or investor!
Then and only then can a CEO/General manager be interviewed/hired......someone who understands where the club has been, the mistakes it has made and where it needs to go.
A strategic plan needs to be drawn up and then adhered to......London Broncos can no longer afford the luxury of shooting from the hip.'"
Pie in the sky.......The damage has been done from which we will not recover and people just have to accept that from next year we are a championship club. There will be no replacement for Gus nor will there be a master plan for our future. Gus going will make absolutely no difference (bar pleasing PP, CN etc).....mind you at least it will see an end to the tedious curry jokes and warder references.

| Agree with you Sticksy, although I doubt LB will exist next year as any sort of club.
Gus was instructed to strip LB down to the bare bones to save money and make it more financially viable for potential partners/investors.
I think he has managed the former to the extent that London Broncos are no longer a club... they are now just a team with a handful of key personnel.
Sadly, I don't think LB is viable as a Champ club, and I doubt it will take AK long to figure that out for himself.

| I always thought highly of Nic Cartwright, he got us into a reasonable shape after Branson pulled out. Remember back then we could seriously talk about aiming for a 5k average. Since then we've struggled in the CEO department, I think Paul Brown may have been the man to take us forward had he not been forced to stand down due to illness, but Paul Blanchard and Gus have been a waste of space.

| Agree with you, KF.
The rot set in way before Gus rocked up...we have just been getting more and more skint and the objectives have been harder to obtain every year that goes by.

| We've had a disastrous mix of hopeless CEOs, hopeless teams, and hopeless coaches for the last few years. Perfect storm of sporting failure.

Yeah, plus we have been under-funded and under-resourced, and there is no real will or vision within the games governing body to change the status quo.

Agree totally sadly.
But I live in hope.

| Gobsmacking quote from Gus in this [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/26749987BBC article[/url.
Quote I made a decision a while ago that I would step down once the club was operating again to the right levels'"
I can only assume abject failure was the level he was aiming for
