Gooleboy Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Is Robert Elstone still employed by SL? With the big fanfare he came in with there never seems to be anything much from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 What would you like him to do? Its not really his role to give daily or weekly interviews or progress reports. I've probably read an interview at least once a month since he took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamfordsbeans Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The main difference at the moment is that the game is now paying for two sets of administration. As things stand at present, I can't see many benefits to this extra cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that in reality he's a puppet having his strings pulled by the 3 unwise men but the only thing that seems to have changed is Magic otherwise haven't seen much impact on our profile etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the metrics for success are increased revenue, attendances and ratings, it’s not a bad start (or so it seems) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have this same thread pretty much once per month as if the measure of success is SL turning into the commercial juggernaut that is the Premier League overnight. The big test I guess will be the next TV deal but in the meantime I'd say you've covered the realistic measures of success for the short time he's been here.

TIWIT Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I thought the game's problem was getting more bums in the seats and now apparently it's bosoms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forums like this are no place for you. PS. I hadn’t heard of it either so the above advice applies equally to me. My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion.
