In an ideal world, when we have thousands to pay for this dynamic CEO, I'm sure Trevor would willingly step aside to let this Business God take over the reins (BTW how would the rest of the fans react at the thought of having to pay out such a sum for a new CEO when the one we have at the moment works for nowt).
Also, how would they react at having to pay out for a dedicated promotions team/match day organiser/solicitors/accountants etc?
How much do you think it would cost to employ John Roddy/Miranda/Keith Freer/Trevor etc who all give their time freely?
All of these things cost money and it's only through the generosity and dedication of various board members that we are still in business. Gone are the days when we have people on the board just because they have a bit of money to put into the club (unfortunately there doesn't seem to be many of those in Leigh anyway) instead we have board members who are experts in their own fields, and they bring all their knowledge to the table - free of charge.
Unfortunately, things don't get done as quickly as they would if we had a plethora of full time staff but those we do have lend their hand in any way they can, often doing jobs that aren't really in their contracts.
So whilst it's all very well for The Prophet to tell the club exactly where they're going wrong, unless he's willing to put his money where his mouth is - he's just talking poop.'"
And the passage of time hasn't had any impact on you being brainwashed into believing everything is going swimmingly and still wearing your Trevor blinkers.
Face facts, the longer people are prepared to "make do" the less chance we have of ever progressing. The current board/ceo are seeing a decline in crowds and seem to have little or no idea as to what to do about it and this is our only real income stream.
Instead of thinking everything is so wonderful try looking at initiatives other clubs have on the go, we are miles behind and to keep using Arthur leaving as a crutch is at best wearing thin.
