So the pieces of the jigsaw finally start slipping into place. Probiz become the major sponsor of Featherstone Rovers, their CEO Simon Riley suddenly decides to leave (very strange in the circumstances) and the announcement is made that Craig Poskitt is to become the new CEO.

Been wondering why we haven't seen or heard a great deal from our friend Faisel, have we seen the last of him now his big buddie Craig has flown the nest?

What's the link between Poskitt and uncle Faisal?

I think it was CP who introduced FN to RL with Cas. The PROBIZ brand then went to Halifax and Wigan and also last years sponsorship of the WCC.

Craig has done a great job at CT. but he is replacable like anyone else in business. Cas Tigers will miss his business links but will get someone else in who can carry on his good work to the next level.

What makes you say that? I'm just interested, really. I've heard lots of claims about 'record sponsorhips' but seen no evidence of this on the field in terms of better players, or indeed in the club's published accounts? Maybe CP is great at blowing his own trumpet but in reality there seems to have been no improvement during his time at the club.
Oh, and I won't miss his use of social media to make claims of 'big news' to then find it's a new under-arm shirt sponsor!

They were Halifax's sponsor before they sponsored Cas.

In fact if it wasn't for Metrel pulling out PROBIZ would never have got involved with Cas.

probiz picked up a very cheap sponsorship deal last year to "cover up" a real mess that was made with the original deal. metrels logo was branded on the club shirts despite not having completed the deal and probiz got a cheapy , good timing for them and the club but good business ???

The guy from probiz is now posting on an other site that he had 5million to put into rugby league ..............okay where is it ??? and if the "commercial mastermind" at cas has only managed to secure a tiny portion of this for the tigers (bearing in mind that fieasal loves the club so dearly) why is this ???

In short we have a millionare , who has continually declared his love for the tigers but has not made a significant investment.

I love the club and if I was a millionare I wouldnt be poncing about on forums saying how much I love the club and the game , and how much I love the commercial manager etc. My brass would be doing the talking and a stadium would be on its way up !!

I feel that people have been taken in by the whole probiz thing and from what I hear the level of investment is not as big as many have suggested.
Time to put ones money where ones mouth is ................ or don a flat cap !!!!!

Poskitt to featherstone as CEO
Feisal to buy featherstone, watch this space.

Re: Poskitt to Fev : Mon Feb 20, 2012 10:38 am  

Just had this put to me:
What has Feisal brought to the club?....Adrian Vowles for 80 mins and lots of talk but never done the walk? Admitted to wanting to run Cas Tigers, on an internet forum then also admitting to wanting to run the club without putting cash in,once again on an internet forum come in giving it the big one,i'm sure i could have done that.

good post mate ......agree 100% actions speak louder than words. Jack Fultons has been a quiet , subtle and dignifed business man, his imput into the club over the past 20 years puts feisals constant blabbing to shame

Re: Poskitt to Fev : Mon Feb 20, 2012 11:30 am  

Well thats the main sponsor rubbished, who would blame him if he did walk away from such negativity ?
Right who do you want to try and drive away from the club next ??????

'fans' eh , ive s hit em

Re: Poskitt to Fev : Mon Feb 20, 2012 12:40 pm  

Just remember folks - FN is a sponsor - nothing more, nothing less. Jack Fulton is the Chairman and our chief benefactor.
