Re: Steve Ferres : Tue Feb 19, 2013 11:02 pm  
Very sad day...Think Ferres was slowly starting to move the club in the right direction.

I don't have any faith in the current board at all, and while Fulton has helped the club in the past it is now a hindrance,no new investors will come in while the club is set out as it is.

Could be the beginning of the end :(

Lol just read the chairmen's statement on the club website, his continual backing of the club are in the form of loans...which he will want back.

Current Cas B.O.D should stand for Board Of Dinosaurs...lumbering along to extinction. New board,fresh ideas are needed....lets look at the record of J.F/R.W...hardly a great success is it?

I think we all have known for a good number of years we need a new board in place. The problem is - is that they're stuck where they are. JF wants his money back and they wants an absurd amount for their shares.

That means someone would need to throw about £3-5million into the club that's currently losing money and has extremely poor commercial assets to push further than they already are.

It'll never happen until a die hard fan wins the euromillions.

SF says “ the board is not in a position to support the multitude of changes that I believe must take place now in order for Castleford to continue to compete at Super League level”

I would want the BOD to clarify whether:-

1. they disagreed that the proposed changes are necessary or that they accepted them but don’t have the power/resources to implement them
2. without the changes we cannot continue to be in SL or that we cannot be competitive in SL

For the time being I’ll resist the urge to demonise anyone or break out the cyanide pills.

He has a record for moving on, when he took the job he must have known the financial position the club was in, then he want an open check to finance the multitude of changes he wants

SF as asked for changes to be made - the BOD have refused these changes. I'm intrigued to find out what he was asking for. I think it is along the lines of a mixture of the following:-

1. Ground redevelopment
2. New investors
3. New Management team

Re: Steve Ferres : Thu Feb 21, 2013 9:47 am  
Just to put my ten peneth in...

Although you seem to have malfunctioning BOD I don't think SF resigning can all be put down to them.

SF is a good bloke but he is also very ambitious for himself rather than the specific club he's at. He wants the chance to run his own SL club without interference but with financial backing, who that club is isn't overly important. This is not a bad thing as emotion is no great friend to an administrator. The problem is Steve comes to the table with no real cash of his own. What he wants is to spend other peoples money without having them question him. I think if this were to happen Steve would probably succeed - however in the real world people with serious money tend to want to be totally involved in how it's used.

So unless this incredibly trusting individual exists which I doubt Steve will always be the firefighter who turns clubs around but is never the one to lead them to the promised land. It's sad but true because it happened twice at Wakefield.

Best of luck to both parties.

Maybe we should have insisted he invest as a shareholder before giving him the job in the first place ?
