By coming up with good suggestions, and just to spite you, he's done the polar opposite of every idea you've come up with as a personal vendetta to you

Think the fact that our beloved CEO has more direct contact with an Irishman living on the other side of the world than any other Bronco fan speaks volumes

That's the point though....2nd is nowhere to most Kiwis.

As a London Broncos fan, especially over the last 3 years, anything between 8-10 would be acceptable. We have, we are told, spent to the cap, yet 12th, 12th and now 14th, coupled with the merry-go-round over names, colours and venues have eroded the hard core support numbers to 300 or so.

He has to go.....surely another season of failings, in SL or below would be just too much for the remaining fans to accept!

When he goes, will we perform better on the pitch? After all, that is why so many of the long suffering die hard fans have left or are leaving.

As I said earlier, the culture of ACCEPTABLE failure is 100% down to him.....he has systematically dodged bullets at every turn managing to blame everything and everyone for the shortcomings on and off the park.

He arrived and immediately hired his own "hand picked" team to deliver fans and sponsorship money as well as corporate hospitality growth. When that failed, he blamed the name and our colours.....and took as back to the Broncos name. When that failed, he said it was the ground/area we were playing in that was the problem....he is the master of excuses.

On the pitch, the players see ever decreasing crowds, the team being bounced around different venues, a couple of coaches that were/are incapable and senior players like Gower walking and Clubb saying he wants out...it is a poisonous and vile culture of acceptable defeat from the CEO down to the tea-boy....and The Chief Executive Officer is where the buck stops in the REAL WORLD!

my favourite part of that..
"Everyone believes that CEOs can do whatever they want, are all powerful, and are magically competent. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth"

The damage he has done to the club in 30 months is not beyond repair, but I believe it would take longer than 30 months to fix it. The best place to do that may well be the Championship

Who said we have a culture of acceptable failure?

You and your impression of events of course.

If it wasn't acceptable failure, there would have been consequences before now. David Hughes walked at half time on Saturday.....I fully expected blood on the carpet first thing Monday, but no, nothing as usual.

A 70 point hammering on national TV with at most 250 travelling fans, on target for a SL record of points against in a season, a record +/- difference and the lowest average gate in the clubs history. No corporate hospitality, a fruitless 18 month search for a new home and now tales of our allies in the north becoming ed off with us as well.

I can think of no other business where a CEO sheds 40% of a companies customers and remains in a Job.......at a conservative guess, that's about 400k a year in lost revenue or 1.2 million on his watch!


Read some of the musings of Mr Gower....he didn't leave us because London had a winning culture!

Rooster, the club is not a happy place and seems not to have been for a while. I am sure you remember the especial bond that existed between the club and the fans. Sadly that has been ripped away. Broken promises along the way.

Well, we are failing in almost every aspect of on-field and off-field endeavour and nothing appears to be happening to address these failings. We had a review of on-field performances last year; this year, with worse performances, nothing.

I don't think it's particularly controversial to say that (a) the club is failing and (b) very little is being done about it.

Now, what may be happening is that the club is working like mad behind the scenes and is about to announce all kinds of new and fantastic things. Trouble is, if they wait much longer to tell us, there'll be nobody left to hear the news. As usual, it is the uncertainty that is killing the club. It is desperately sad.

I think that 250 is a VERY optimistic estimate of our support on Saturday - it wouldn't suprise me if there are more Crusaders' supporters at the Skolar's Cup Final eve game than we had at Leigh (one coach already booked just for the game plus a fair few independents oop for 't Cup).

There is strong evidence from recent seasons.

David Hughes did when he didn't sack Rob Powell for his failures, nor Gus MacKay for his, and we the fans did when we clapped Broncos off the pitch after all their hammerings.

When the captain leaves because we don't train hard enough.
