I think anger is from the lack of communication from the great management team who are out to busy growing roses in the local roundabouts

Forgive me for not getting a hard on at the prospect of 27 floggings in 2014 followed by rejection as an investment opportunity by TK, eviction from the Hive and relegation to Championship.
Gus has cut the overheads at the club from 4.5 million a year to his and Tony's wages along with a few fringe players. The income from the RFL will be used to build a squad and pay these wages whilst everything else apart from maybe the shop will be the domain of TK and The Hive Team.
The only assurance we have is that Gus has secured 12 months to find another job whilst ex-staff and players are still owed cash, some have had to borrow to make ends meet and he believes that this is the start of anew era

| IIRC the "need to move" was first raised in 2012.
Why?
Match day costs coupled with marketing and marketing staff delivered a cost of £525k and a revenue from tickets, Season tickets and commercials of £543k....so £1,400 profit per home tie.
Administration costs were £532,000.
Coaching costs were £524,000
The Academy costs was £129,000
If I were going to swing the hatchet, I'd have started with Administration and the Coaching Staff who between them deliver 48% of the LOSS made by the business. How many coaches were costing us half a million?
£10,000 a week on administration? Administrating what? This is EXCLUDING the marketing and marketing wages....which whilst I am on it, doesn't add up either.
£205,000 marketing spend spent by a department on £100,000 wages
Hey, London Broncos will play out of the Hive in 2014 and there is nothing that can be done to change that, but accepting either the logic behind the move or that it is "good for London Broncos" is accepting and rewarding failure. IMHO that is! |

If the club was more open and honest with you all instead of everything being treated like multi million pound oil deal s then its quite possible the club or people on these forums could have shot down his facts,figures and stats as quickly as he posts them |

Of all the facts, figures and numbers I posted yesterday and today, the only official rebuttal I had was a text from London saying Selco sponsorship was all their own work. A quick check back with those employed at the time by the RFL says otherwise, but regardless, the facts, figures and numbers I posted remain unchallenged.
Hey....I am the first to admit that I am not the most cheerful of reads on this forum, but I'd rather a few people off than stick my head in the sand and think everything is OK. |
