And to do this you will need someone in Charge who is capable of driving the staff, the staff who know what they are doing and are the right people for the job with the necessary skills.

There is a lot to be said for the way Wigan have modeled there business and Mr Leneghan has employed the right people for the job irrespective of whether he likes them or not, they have a job to do and if you fail your gone,the club itself has to strive to become as self sufficient as possible without relying on a generous benefactor(s)

Its nice for the neighbours concerns

Normally this would be the case, however those amateur clubs are doing things better than its perceived bigger brother.

Getting the 'right people' in the jobs must be the ideal.

Of course, to get the 'right people' in those jobs, we would have to generate a heck of a lot more income than we are currently doing. How many paid employees do you think are on the club payroll at the moment, excluding playing/coaching staff? As an example, our recently resigned CEO was doing the job for nothing. His predecessor was employed at nil cost to the club. They may have been the 'right people', or they may not have been. I wonder how much it would cost, to get the 'right person' in that role? And that's just one job, at the club.

What, both of them?

Instead of all the buzzwords and the battle of who has got the best sales managers bible.........will somebody please DO something.

lol derick

Is think there's only two members of staff employed and paid by Leigh Centurions and one of them is Rob Parker (the other is Andy).

Thought Jayne was to

Plus Jane - and I think that's all, but she's not 'full time'..

I agree Keith, it's not right. That said though, there are some talented volunteers in there!

But seriously, some of those volunteers would cost an arm and a leg to employ, if they were being paid.
