Is it just me who feels uneasy about this ?
I dunno, but I sort of want my CEO to be obviously very clever, sharp-suited, preferably with a background running various organisations, and ideally with all sorts of useful connections.
Hmm

I wonder if John Bastian is going to take over Rush's old job?

I had a feeling that Bastian may be heading for Sale, they are restructuring their scouting set up, but that was before I saw the Rush announcement. |

hmm Director of Rugby or something like that maybe but CEO? It's not a job I would have thought he would have been suited too.

It's just jobs for the boys. Rush has no commercial background so obviously he was ideally placed to become CEO. McManus is just filling the place with his boys, whether or not they are experienced or appropriate for the job.

Ridiculous appointment. He may be good and well respected at what he did previously but this? Our Chairman has completely lost the plot. If, as per the announcement, he actually believes the tripe he's spouted about Rush's experience being ideal for the role, then he's deluded.
Rush is a rugby man - he should stick to rugby.
McManus is a Finance guy - he should stick to Finance.
Wilkin is a back rower - he should stick to being a back rower
A CEO needs to be a commercially astute, strategic thinker with expertise in every area. We may as well have appointed St Bernard.
I am even more worried about our future with our Chairman's current antics.

Just to temper this somewhat, the most successful CEO in Super League is Gary Hetherington, who is a rugby man. |

I dont really know his background that well but he is a smart cookie who had plenty experience with Administration before taking over at Leeds i.e. setting up Sheffield Eagles |

That's a fair point but bear in mind that Hetherington cut his teeth in building a business with Sheffield Eagles before being appointed as CEO of one of the SL's premier clubs. Hence my point about appointing someone with a track record.
Interestingly, and to make it even more baffling, look at our previous CEO's in Sean McGuire and Tony Colquitt. Both, even on the basis of face validity alone, had some experience of doing what CEO's do.
For the record, I have nothing against Mike Rush. I don't know him and I'd love to be proved wrong, but I just can't get my head around why we'd do this. |

One of the many current interesting choices from McManus?

[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.
[/quote]
Another classic:
[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.
Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.
Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666
0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".
Therefore ZERO.[/quote]
