I think James has value to the club in a Marketing role....look how we have moved on in terms of season tickets sold and also the variety of options available to fans. Look how packed Belle v has been this season. If he focuses on that side fully am confident we can grow the core support / brand and hopefully get more businesses on board ably assisted by the excellent Martin Hopkins who is one of the hardest working people at the club. Chief Exec for James was sadly not the role for him .

We are going to end up with more people in marketing than season ticket holders at this rate.
As far as I know and from what I have heard on here the marketing staff are very good at their jobs.
Bringing in somebody who wasn't good at his job looks like a square peg in a round hole exercise and a reward for doing badly.
There is an honourable thing to do of course (and its not sending bogus emails to people James. ).

The down side is, is BV really that packed or are we number crunching.

One supplier/sponsor as told me today to expect nothing from him while he is still at this club.

Michael carter seems to be a savvy bloke. Hopefully, when he realises elstons continued presence at the club in any capacity is affecting the clubs ability to generate much needed funds from fans and sponsors, he will ask elston to do the decent thing and resign or find a way to dispense with his services

Maybe any ST led share purchase could have a condition attached to it that elston goes

What is Elston's role? And what other re-structuring has been done? if it is just one job roll change then that isn't really going to have a massive impact is it? (keeping mates in jobs still)

The club need to say where we own money to and how the debt has been allowed to creep up..Because the rumours wont help the situation such as "hiring wildcat dolls" and the "profit from bars"

If you could ask Michael Carter one question what would it be?

I used to work at a place where they brought in a new sales manager. He was very innovative when it came to selling our product. We were always busy and thought, 'This is great, we must be making loads of money'. Unfortunately, to get the business, he was giving it away with only a small profit margin. Made himself look good until the novelty wore off and he moved on. That company is now shut. What happens on the shop floor, doesn't always reveal what's happening behind the scenes.

Interestingly, dismissal due to third party pressure can be fair.

I wonder if your contact's view is shared by others?

How many fans do you need to constitute third party pressure?

Will sales of ST's be honoured if WTW go into administration during the close season ?
The title of this thread - people wanting their money back could be for this reason. They might not be turning their back on the club like some have alluded to. They might be concerned that buying a ST might not be a safe bet?

we won't go into administration players will go before that happens HTH

I wouldn't rule it out Snowie.

I would suggest that if our people don't get on top of things, we may well end up in admin. Maybe not this year but I wouldn't rule out next season at all.

If I was incharge Id get rid of the majority of the squad only keeping; Kirmond, Aiton, Collis and Amor.

and play who else, do you not want to play in Super League

we have to hope things pick, lets just get to the start of next season before more doom and gloom

I hope they are looking at what they can change on a weekly basis
