Quote: Alan "Your original comment, that I responded to, mentioned nothing about generating cash. I'm certain both (all) amateur clubs have dedicated people who do all sorts of jobs for the love of those clubs. That's partly the situation we have at Centurions at the moment. It's not 'right', but it's all we can do, with the cash available. By the way, there are also employees at our club, working their 'sphericals' off in the cause of cash generation - there just aren't enough of them, and there isn't a clearly set-out route for them to follow. That's not 'right' either, and many people have made excellent suggestions on here, about the way forward. It remains to be seen whether the 'right' people come in and are able to sort it out.
Slightly earlier in the thread, the analogy you drew, was with the way Wigan do things. (in relation to employing the 'right' people) I would suggest that isn't the 'right' comparison to make, with Leigh nor, in my opinion is it 'right' to compare the way things are run, with East/Miners.'"
Those volunteers are the life blood of the club that is not and as never been in dispute and those involved at that level should be looked after and praised to the hilt IMHO.
I raise the Wigan analogy as it is something that has been praised by many as the way to run a club and aim for self funding where ever possible and one in which, i know was also acknowledged by Leigh as well.
Things arent right all through the club, so i ask you this question,
Would you have appreciated your CEO to have a small re-muneration albeit results driven or at least expenses covered so to ensure that he remained focused on driving the club forward rather than just steering through choppy waters only to end up back in them ?
Now he has walked away from the problems and earlier in the threads the guy was highly praised for doing summat for nowt, he was there to make some serious strategic decisions on the business and push them through and he hasn't delivered, so i am baffled why the praise for what is seemingly bad management ?
The volunteers have flogged there guts out for the club and again seemingly to have it all thrown back in there face.
I read on here something about Keith Freer, seems to me hes the only one with any gonads to hang around at that level take the tough decisions and help dig the club out of the mess its in and that to me sounds like someone with the true club at heart whether people like him or not its irrelevant hes doing what he should be doing as director and rolling his sleeves up.
