Interesting piece here from Castleford legend Mal Reilly:-

http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/ru ... -1-5454035

When advice is given like this from a guy of Malcolm's standing people must start to listen.

Neil Fox did a similar thing at Wakefield before John Kear came on board. Gave people a kick up the behind and changed the fortunes of the club significantly.
I hope people listen to Reilly is the same way. He is the kind of guy you need involved with the club again imho.

Your right Fox did make a huge difference, but in that case it was all about on field. This is quite the opposite where the issue is off field. Mal probably has a greater knowledge of the running of a modern club than Neil so his words do carry significance both on on and off the field and it's off field that matters now.

Indeed.
I'm thinking while he was with newcastle he did a lot of the "upstairs" work so knows how a good club is run.

From Neil's point of view, he was simply needed as a face to say what many were thinking. It got the media on board so moved things along. The decision could have been made without him but would have been too late. It got Skys attention so got everyone elses.

It is an impossible quandary for those involved.

On the one hand, Mr Reilly is being constructive and I believe he is speaking heart felt sense.
There are those publically speaking out against, protesting and opposing what they perceive as wrong doing when in fact "Opposition" is the easiest and most pointless position to be in, you only have to listen to PMQ's for that, you get to complain about what someone else is doing without having to constructively test your own ideas and put any skin in the game. Then again, you have to feel like you are doing something otherwise you are arguably complicit!

Extremely difficult situation for all people to manage at this stage, but there are things being played out in the public arena which should be private.
It is difficult to reconcile when someone says "This is how to fix it" and a board or a manager won't allow the investment, I dont know Mr Ferris well enough to know if he had explored and examined cash positive options first, probably. We know Nick had limited commercial experience, so I can't blame him for struggling to adjust to the real world of work in a company with shareholders and directors, but his loyalty to Steve F is commendable.

I had a look at myself; if CTRLFC went pop tomorrow was there anything I could have done? Probably, I have a narrow but extremely effective skill set which might help, so I have written formally offering my input.

At least come good or bad, I can now look at myself knowing at least I tried! The time is now to look at converging lottery, tigers together, supporters club and all these elements into a consildated group, small factions matter, a songle united group is formidable, if they come together for good, not for opposition.

"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"

"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League"

Mal Reilly is an all time great but any involvement now from him would be a disaster for the Castleford club.

He couldnt cut it in NL1 with us,with old outdated ways so he certainly would be a backward step in Super League now.

Its hard for you guys coz without Fulton there would be no Cas tigers already but it seems with him you cant grow and expand,no win situation !

I haven't applied for anything specifically, but have offered to help formally and do what I am good at.

For a change for me, not for my own fiscal gain specifically either!
