| Things must be desperate if Rammo has come on here to offer his views, as he is perceived as being Monkeys insider and cohort from the support base!

Tiger Carroll used to don the Buck costume back in the day. Often with hilarious consequences.

| Orange has touched on the Mackay, Powell era. For me that was the start of the end when it should of been the start of a great era
We appointed a clueless coach(Powell) and gave him full salary cap and he got it massively wrong
We appointed a clown as the clubs CEO who was completely out of his depth and the rest is history.
If we had appointed someone like Michael Mcguire (the Wigan coach) instead of Powell who would have professionalised the playing side we would still be in SL. As it is we are about to 'fold'

It is my summation that Hughes has given Loubser 5 years on a certain budget to get the club to self sufficiency.
We will see the measure of the man now, in whether he runs or he rolls up his sleeves.
First up. He made another error in trying to hire a commercial manager.
For the 1000 time in 20 years, employ a marketing/fan engagement professional. Then start to upgrade them to the corporate tables......the result of doing it the other way around is discounted platinum lounge seats after 3 games

What possible evidence could Hughes have seen that would make him think Lobster could deliver this ?

The same that he saw in MacKay with the name change and move to the hive.
The same that he saw in appointing Powell or even worse, Grima on the say so of Soward?
Hughes is clueless, but his statement at seasons begining smacked of "you have 5 years......that's it".
I'll repeat. A General Manager is needed......someone prepared to roll up their sleeves, put.on the mascots outfit if need be, write match reports, wash kits, help out at training, write tweets.....someone who leads from the front.

I guess Hughes money making didn't involve recruiting good people or measuring their performance.

Nope....he freely admits to knowing SFA about running a business/club in the book A Pastel Revolution.
What he won't admit to is that he is a narcissist, who will NEVER take advice from anyone, no matter who they are, if he deems them "not as good as himself"! He buys and sells commodities and 95% of his business is based around contacts he made 40+ years ago...he doesn't have to build new relationships to do business and he has enough wealth to ensure he can ignore anyone he likes.
We have had relationships break down at Harlequins, The Hive & Ealing under his ownership all because he and his staff are/were arrogant to the point of rudeness. His comments about playing in third tier union grounds was a dig at Trailfinders whilst his leading for fans to bring mates was a pointer to the gaping hole in the plan for Wimbledon.
Whilst he is in charge, the club will continue the spiral down the plughole.

Yep.....it's all gone quiet on twitter, email, the broken banner on the club site & which hasn't had a update in 8 days......
Loubser is CEO, but I fail to see who he oversees in that role.....we have some community coaches, the Colemans and a bunch of players....
Compare us to rlBarrowrl who have events, and a news page updated daily, with a regular twitter feed including match highlights, sponsors picking man of the match and updates from their ladies games too......
Not sure where Hughes investment is going other than AFC Wimbledon's back pocket and wasted on a CEO's wages we don't f&%$ng need!

| It feels to me that they have given up, the move is not working (see <1K vs York). They needed to build on the Widnes game and they did nothing much to do that.
Really need to be promoting the Dewsbury game right now and nothing, I do hope they have deals on, I might go to that game as its the long weekend
