Seems strange that we are feared throughout the league because we can buy any players we want when we are languishing in 9th place with a team that has been below par since February. Surely the club & its spokesman are jesting ?

No, i should of been clearer. What it was refering to is the likes of how we have Ratchford Clark, Hill and Currie on long contracts that other clubs do the same with there best players to stop us from getting them. I know some msy say contracts mean nothing these days but that as mostly been the NRL players.

When the question was asked about the marquee type of player, the bums on seats etc kind of player they are seriously searching all the time, i did ask had we signed Cooper Cronk for next year then. Of course they laughed but i noticed they did not day NO.

Interesting point this asone of the reasons to replace Gatcliffe with Draper was that Gatcliffe was great but at running a tight ship and looking after a business that needed to control expenditure as opposed to grow. Draper was seen as the opposite and seen as what was needed at that time.

I've seen Gatcliff back at the club quite a bit recently. I have a feeling behind the scenes he is helping Karl fit into his job following fan grumblings.
It seems to be working too.

To be fair to Karl he has done his apprenticeship and now he must deliver on what he has set in terms of clubs objectives. The term Lavish spending was used on things that brought no return in investment to me that is business suicide. Bottom line we can have all the bells and whistles on match day but if what is served on the pitch is not good enough then fan revenue will drop. Big off season for Warrington should we survive and playing Sat games gives us a full 7 days no matter what so the 6 day concussion rule thus void very smart move in my eyes.

Onward and upwards WTID!!!!

The big "currently recruiting" Amazon jobs sign across the steelwork where the sky screen usually goes might be the first indictor. In relation to Emirates, stories I heard were that Emirates wanted the whole lot. and got a little miffed when the stadium got resigned to Halliwell Jones.

Roger mentioned on a couple of occasions he wasn't happy with the sponsorship arrangement for advertising around the ground, in that he didn't like having 100 advert boards with individual ads and companies, he would prefer to go for a bigger deal(if possible) for one company and have that uniform around the ground, clean and consistent.

Thats good if you can get it, its the holy grail, but do you want to off your local business and community associations in favour of the big kahuna?

I think it would be more difficult to fill the hospitality boxes with hundreds of Emirates guests than to fill boxes sponsored by Maud's Fish & Chips & ACME Safety Pins Ltd. & other local firms.
As for the Cooper Cronk drawing a titter,maybe they thought the marquee name was confused with Cooper,Mike .

Apparently it's more simple than that....profits haven't been as good as hoped for at Emirates and sponsorship of sports will end as the contract ends, in order to cut costs.

Would have thought we may have had a report of the meeting on the club website for those who couldn't get there on the night.

Pretty sure someone was taking notes, but at no time was anything asked about it being posted on the website about it.

First mention of the forum here, www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/new ... nts-anchor Still, the best idea to have come out of the club in these past few weeks to turn things around is Karoke in the Stadium.. Lets leave that to the professionals and not Terry from Longford.

No, we did not go in to rip that apart, only thing anywhere near was forward planning on recruitment and promotion from within.
