Can you offer that section of fans an alternative to TR and JK, a simple yes or no will do.

We can't boycott the club (well i can't) so what do you suggest we do to change things, i don't disagree "times up" by the way.

We got greedy with JK when we tried to get compensation - he wanted to go, he should have been allowed to. AL there must be another coach out there who can bring some fresh ideas and some entertaining Rugby - if they only won 4 games out of 20, it would still be an improvement.

Re Ted, he hasn't got a pot to pee in, we are told he hasn't put money into the club for a while and therefore we would not be missing his investment if he were to step aside. That said, I accept that at the present time, we do not look like a viable proposition for potential investors. However, his family members and hangers on occupy a number of jobs at the club, which i presume as others do, is paying them a decent wage.

If Ted really loves the club, then he should at the least dispense with some of these people and use the money saved on their wages to bring some people on board who have some business nouse and can instigate a more professional running of the club and improve the image of the club at the same time.

I would ask whether certain people would still have jobs at the club if they weren't related to Ted.

Al
think the time has now passed where a viable alternative can be brought in and be a success sadly, no coach or investor in their right mind would come in now, however a year ago they probably would have, I got off here for a while because of the Newmarket will save our day mentality, it wont and would never have without a solid playing platform and the core fans that go with that, we had all our eggs in one basket from 2009 and now the basket has a bloody great big hole in it, i will always respect trb and others for what they have done for my club but in the end somebody somewhere got the economics and maths wrong, I fear now our best hope is a drop out of SL and a steady recovery over a period of time,no thats not our best hope, its our only hope.

optimistic as I am, Its hard to disagree with what you are saying.

If someone does not want to be at the club (JK) then i agree he should have gone and if what you say is true then yes its a mistake imo.

Ted, well i'm finding it harder and harder to disagree with some posters and maybe its too late for the club, maybe i'm guilty of playing a part in it, i just don't know.

Re: Is James Elston Pinocchio??? : Tue Dec 28, 2010 6:42 pm  

Warren Jowitt for coach - had only 40 grand for the full squad at Dewsbury the last 2 seasons - won every game in his first full season & then kept them in the championship despite a bad injury list early season. ( apparently team budget been halved for this year ). Assistant French coach ( ok they lost to Wales ! ) & ex player . He'd probably say "sod that" , but a better option than what we've got IMO . (no I'm not his agent / dad !)

As for Ted's money - I heard that when he was asked about his iva , he was asked about how this would affect the club ? He said it wouldn't as he never put any of his own money into the club anyway !!

An example of what I mean about employment at the club :

Not sure of the full circumstances surrounding his departure, but the media guy left (John Huxley) and was never replaced to my knowledge. I am sure that we would all agree that a club like ours needs to employ a media savvy person to control what is released to the press and equally as crucially the timing of the same.
Had we someone with the right skills still on board, then they may well have controlled the "fall out" from the decision for a PI much better than Teds ill advised rant at Cas at the beginning of a week they submitted their full PP.

I am sure that the wage paid to Ted's daughter would be better spent on a media person?

I'm not sure about JH, don't want to have ago but just what did he do in his time at the club, some would say its wasted money anyway, although he could possibly have controlled the "fallout" better than teds rants then fair do's.

No idea what Di does or what she gets paid so i'm not going down that road.

Mopsey just hang fire will you, this boards not here for you to crusade against Ted and familly, lets discuss the rights and wrongs but you are not going to use this board to attack family members.

Thank you.

Could certainly get rid of a couple in their - the disinterest and lack of knowledge is amazing from a couple , but ( as discussed on a earlier thread ) the blonde haired lass is top notch and deserves better IMO .
