The future financing of Sporting Club Leigh

Quote: mishmash "So if we all give up we'll need someone to do the programme (anyone got 30+ spare hours a week?), we also need someone to continue the work started by John with the Junior Centurions and then someone with the technical knowledge to run the radio...oh and a couple of guys who are qualified accountants to trawl through the accounts).

I've read your CV The Prophet and you sound like just the guy who can do all of the above and much, much more......the job is yours.
Is your only answer to go on the defensive and say how fantastic things are?? If you actually read my post I make it clear that all those who have put their hands up in the club's time of need have done a fantastic job and got us through a dire time.

My point is quite simply having achieved a degree of stability that we need to make sure we have the calibre of people involved with the club to help it set and achieve its strategic targets over the medium to long term as opposed to drifting like a ship without a rudder.

The examples you give are not where i'm coming from, Alan does a great job with the match programme and the radio coverage/Leigh Life is excellent. However being a qualified accountant doesn't mean you have any business acumen or the ability to work as part of a senior management team covering off such issues as marketing, advertising, strategy etc etc. - if we are to ever be self sufficient, investable or attractive to potential sponsors then we must tap into the fan base more to get the required level of expertise and thus my suggestion of perhaps utilising the know how within the Touchdown corporate members.
