Gus and dividends in the same sentence.

You can't help but name call can you? We didn't appreciate what has gone before, but blimey GF.
Did he really swear at a fan? How funny. He must read these forums. I remember when people complained that Richie Barnett who was injured at the time, stood up and swore because he dared to have a go at a fan who was slagging him off.

| Rooster, paying fans have this odd view that if they pay to watch, they're entitled to express their opinion. I'm not in favour of mindless abuse, but, as they say, passions run high. Isn't it Good that fans are passionate? Having played a bit, I've never felt the urge to curse players....until last season.

I call it as I se it and he's been poison for this club...utter poison.

Quote: Rooster Booster "How funny.'" No....how disgusting. He is in a position of power and in the public limelight....he should know better.
Quote: Rooster Booster "He must read these forums.'" He does.....sad behaviour again for the CEO of the club that he comes on here to gauge what fans thinks and then does everything in his power to drive them away.

Players swear...as do coaches. CEO's do not.....well, not proper ones.

Yes of course it is. It's when the passion becomes blinding and aggressive, that can create a concern.
I know it must be tough back home. I guess I was lucky to see us when we were competitive for a few years. Even back then people would still coat off players.

I know you call it as you see it and are passionate. Hes gone now.
As for doing everything in his power to drive them away. Prove it was his intent. Prove that he did everything in his power to drive them away. You can state all the figures that we already know about. But prove that was his intent.
None of us are happy where we are and know this was down to his poor judgement, incompetence and lack of any results, but to say that he comes on here to gauge what fans think and then does everything in his power to drive them away. Simply ridiculous.
I find it funny that he swore at someone who has had pops at him. Sorry. Appropriate behavoiur? Of course not. He was leaving and thought he'd have a dig. Acceptable? No. But it happened.
What was said by him and could you put it into context as to what was said to him please?

Sussex and then surrey cricket fans, together with London Broncos fans can testify to his arrogant 'I don't give a toss about your opinion" attitude when dealing with members/season ticket holders.
His Stated aim when he joined us on Jan 14th 2011 was to deliver more fans, more awareness and to embrace the culture surrounding the sport in London.......if he didn't intend to alienate the amateur clubs, the long term fans, steal a sponsor from London RL, of our landlord at the stoop, off the owner of Gillingham, off most of the playing staff, of Kleanthous to the extent that the RFL had to dive in and "incentivise" the new landlord and essentially off everyone he came into contact with, then he was doing a very good impersonation of someone who did.
He is useless. I will ensure that wherever he pops up next will be fully versed on exactly how ing useless he is.....it's only Libellous if it's not true
Off to the Warriors now..............think they could be in for a rude awakening themselves this evening having done little in the way of marketing the game today.....but at least I can attend a "home game" without having to jump on a bloody plane

You have failed to prove intent.
He was just poor at his job.
You have failed again.

| GF is right though. The Warder did indeed do a very good impersonation of someone who set out to destroy the club.

twice in one post?
I haven't failed. You set me a task that was impossible to complete. All I have done is offer instances and examples of how the ex CEO behaved and how he created a negative aura around the club as well as pretty much destroying the relationship between the club and the fans......something that had previously ensured we stumbled along on a 3k average.....not ideal, but you could take a 40k season total as a done deal until he arrived.
You, on the other hand hide behind your straw man of intent whilst offering no positive counter argument to my negative instances.
If anyone has failed, it is you. Purely because I can lists instances (a great many) where he performed tasks that were to the detriment of the club, whilst you can list none......not one thing he did that has had a positive outcome for the club.

So, you can't prove your earlier statement that "he did everything in his power to drive fans away" He was crap yes. Anyway can list examples of that. Glad we cleared that up.

| Gutters
there is no need or call to resort to language that fits your name.
its gutter language no matter how much you dislike a bloke, for who he is or what he has done, calling him what you did on an ooen forum is unacceptable.
And its the sort of language that should result in moderators acting.

| Fwiw, players swear, but it can easily result in em sitting on the sidelines for the rest if the game.
There is no justification for him to swear at anyone, I do have to ask though how far was he pushed to react.
dont want to be funny but paddock has made his thoughts as clear as you, interesting that he was at the game though he did say he would go nowhere near while gus was there.
