Not the main topic of the thread but can I ask the Featherstone fans what do they think FN's ultimate aim was?

Was he after land?

Was he just full of sh it albeit well intended?

Also what exactly is wrong with this Poskitt chap?

NEGATIVES
There are a few people like this Poskitt chap where I live, over here in Dubai. Ben Elton used to call it 'style over content'. And you can look close to home at Gulf Financial House and their 'ghost banking' style ownership of Leeds United. A different situation yes, but the fact is that there are many flash harry's who can put on a suit and talk up something.

Bringing in money streams is all well and good as long as it is not deviously attached to debt, commitment, interest or third party issues that surface later, meanwhile the commission is paid and this guy leaves fax needing a big brush to sweep up.

As for Faisal I would not trust him as far as I can throw him. As I have a bad back right now it isnt far at all.

POSITIVES
Someone upstream said give him a chance. Fair enough, I respect that and why not ? If he brings in real income streams then by golly that is what we need.

My personal view is I dont trust him and ultimately I think it is a bad move. I wanted to see 'fresh across the board' but we have a 'used' addition in a CRITICAL position to the club.

I will say though that Fax TV should get the 3 directors once a month, it is excellent to finally get them talking - and the BOD need to realise this is only a good thing and commit to Fax TV.

Cheers

I could be missing something and often do but even allowing for some less than honourable intentions and motives I fail to see what Mr Poskitt could possibly gain from coming on board at Fax as commercial director.

He has been given a clear target of bringing in £500,000 of income streams, as Little Rich has said would he deliberately want that to fail and thus fail himself, it doesn't make sense.

If that is some sort of smoke screen what do Fax have that he or anyone else could take advantage of?

It seems as the BOD alluded to they can't win, say nothing and their wrong, do nothing and their wrong, say something and it's wrong, do something and it's wrong.

Listening to what they said they are not stupid and there is no way they would be doing this if there were any dangerous jeopardy involved.

They have and still are giving it a lot of thought, the recruitment was well under way before the departure of KH with some exciting additions to come in and still has some slack and option for the new incoming man.

That man as they said will be appointed at the right time when the right man comes available and apparently there is a lot of interest.

None of us have a crystal ball and nothing is a given until after the event but from where we seemed to be heading over the last couple of weeks it looks like a 360 degree turn around from the outlook we had back then.

Have we brought over Fev's PR man as well?

That statement could have been worded so much better when it comes to calling out supporters at the end.

If i can get to a game and have the money I will be there but i can totally understand the reasons why some people have not been going and do not think any less of them as supporters. The club needs to encourage those people to come back not push them further away.

Think he's just calling it as it is. At the end of the day if supporters don't turn up then the quality of the team falls. It's a never ending spiral. In the end if we can only muster 1,400 as a club then we'll get the team that fits that attendance. But then if the team plays naff it will get the attendance that style of rugby deserves.

The only exception I would point to is our own example. GF winners 2010. NRC Winners 2012. And here wee are struggling for crowds. Even Leigh are still hovering the 2,500 mark with their fantastic season. It's difficult.

I think the problem now with Leigh is that there fans almost just expect to win 40 or 50 points week in week out which can get boring I think but then again it's not a big problem is it

Colin, you under estimate Faxfit, I used to sit on people now I clean and press them.
In fact I could clean and press him with Robin sitting on him.

So the moral of this story appears to be that we throw all cheques on the floor and see how much they bounce.
Only time will tell if this is a good move but I'm sure that a large number of people will be keeping very close eyes on any announcements from Mr Poskitt.

well done in getting Craig Poskitt got a man of great integrity there, is that better mr moderator

You need to look at why Cas Tigers got rid.

Tell me then.

They never officially announced a reason why he left. There was plenty of chatter around the WF postcodes as to the reason why, which I wouldn't dream of disclosing on a public forum, especially as the slimy toad will be all over this forum (and your facetube page) like a cheap suit.

I do think it's a great shame when discussing an individual what ever a persons opinion, that we stoop to this name calling particularly of this nature.
If "chatter" can't be disclosed on a public forum then most of us would doubt it's content.
For us he's here lets see how it runs.
For the others he's gone, get over it.
Simply my opinion no disrespect intended to anyone.

Your club had dealings with Probiz and Cas had dealings with Probiz and CP When Fev employed CP a lot of Cas fans told us it would all end bad We then got Probiz as a sponsor who CP brought to our club. There was endless people on social media from Cas and Fax telling us we had made a big mistake but a lot of us didn't believe you as it happened you were all right and luckily we achieved second this year so that will help the club with the liabilities that was left at the club As a person I found CP approachable he seemed very switched on and came across as a person doing well for the club. There is no secret that things have not been done well and standing in front of 2000 fans passing a cheque over for £60 000 to the volunteers from his mate at Probiz then it bouncing is not what I would expect from a CEO of the club I also would not of expected him to pack in the day after Probiz pull out if he was doing so well.

I hope he does well for you don't know how long he had got to bring £500 000 into you club but if he generated £250 000 and Probiz offer £250 000 with conditions has he achieved his goal
