Quote ="PopTart"1) this isn't a top business
2) if there are no willing investors then being good at getting them doesn't help
3) we don't have shareholders
4) just to be clear, you are at best a customer'"
Again I think you are trying to manipulate what is being said
We are playing in the "Elite" level of rugby league so the analagy with a top business is correct
As for "no willing investors" again I fail to agree that there are not willing investors around the country or even further and again its down to the chairman and CEO to bring these in.
It really is simple business sense.
3 As for shareholders, again that is who a CEO/Chairman would answer to in normal business (in effect the supporters are the o es they have to answer to in this)
4 In a poorly run club yes you are correct at best I am a customer and as such is the reason we are in the mess we have been for numerous years,in a properly run successful club I would be a valued asset who could have input and my opinions listened to.
Do we have a fans steering group that can report to the board ?
How often are we going around the local schools,groups ,clubs Etc..again I'm sure some supporters would be willing to go give some time up to do this if asked.
The statement I heard in a big work meeting last month rang completely true with our situation
IF WE ALWAYS DO WHAT WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE WE WILL ALWAYS GET WHAT WE HAVE ALWAYS GOT.
