19-09-12 / Club announce staying at the stoop for 2013
15-01-13 / Gus announces that London will leave the stoop at the end of 2013...no announcement on ST numbers pointing to a further decline.
09-03013 / Bottom of the table with an average of 2,193, over 35% less fans and all the CEO can do is text NZ to ask me to stop picking on him....


It's about home 14 games and 30 in total until the next licences are announced............Sorry....but please god someone print this off and fax it to The RFL/The RL Press and have David Hughes examine it.............players won't up their game in front of sub 2k gates and that's the best we can hope for from the current adminstration.

IN MY OPINION THAT IS.

In the interests of fairness you should also include his achievements.

He's sold a hell of a lot of curry to away fans.

Grand total of promised fans forums? You have left out numerous back office leaving or made to leave and their iffy replacements. Oh yes, the wonderful new kit suppliers! IMO that is.

erm....is there a point to all this?

We all know what you think of him, is it neccesary to keep re-inventing the wheel?

His biggest skill is clearly looking after his own survival - he seems to be completely unaccountable for his failures.

If anyone knows any ex- (or current) players or staff then you'll likely have heard the same, but the ones I've spoken to don't speak well of Gus.

Rugby League in London will continue to suffer as long as he is still around.

In fairness to our compadre in the land of the long white cloud....although he does make his points with all the subtlety of a claw hammer to the back of the head...He,s right ...we may slip into antipathy and think that in some miraculous way all will be well with our club if we leave things as they are.....Things are going t1ts up and we, as a paying customer(and some of us have put an awful lot of money into this clubs coffers one way or another) are expected to watch GM let this season and us mugs who forked out for our season tickets,go down the toilet in the misguided hope that whatever God forsaken extremity of this island he decides we are heading for next year will be a sucess.....Oh and Pengy..I was ill last weekend and I really wished I had been there to see your rant at the final whistle...

You misunderstand.

I felt the other threads were confusing some readers and thought a clean break and a "rebrand" would clear up any confusion as to what I think of his ability as a sports administrator.

Furthermore, due to the lack of response to this rebrand, I will soon start looking at other teams forums to post my opinions on this matter in the hope of raising awareness icon_cool.gif

Yep... even our current landlords fans see his failings. That's bad.

But it is not just Gus taking the club down the toilet, DH must shoulder some blame, he employed him, he pays his salary and he keeps him at the club. In fact DH is mainly to blame - Gus wont jump while he has a good pay packet to do nothing and DH is not interested - he says he is off at the end of the season so why would or should he worry. For a man with such a great brain (and he must be a very clever man to get where he has) I just cant understand how DH is so short sighted on a number of iussues

Stubborn is the word you're looking for......he wouldn't be told he'd ed up with Powell and he won'tbe told by anyone what to do with HIS club.....
