Until the game is run for the whole benefit of the sport it will continue to go from one cock up to another. If a decision is made by SL to withdraw any funding below SL, I believe your answer will be a negative to your proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly superleague does not want to be governable. The rest of the game want something for nothing. Where will any investment come from from an organisation that does not want to be governed? Let's hope none of this happens and with one bound we are free... SL has 28 to 30 million for a 1 year SKY deal next year. It's a breathing space. But I expect the same old same old.

Harry Stottle Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 35 minutes ago, snoopdog said: That's my point the game shouldn't be run by the strongest or the weakest clubs, but the game can't progress because the weakest is the majority. The game should be governed by an independent body or individual over a period of time with powers to make change , and like any democratic society if they don't bring success etc they are replaced. OK, I read your post as I replied to differently, but do believe that 'some' of the incumbant SL chairs could/would let an individual or independent body have total and complete autonomy?

Then the club chairmen take one look at his vision and say "No, we don't want that; just make sure we play as many fixtures as possible per year, to bump up the gate revenues*". Who's going to stay in a job like that? If you don't have the power to implement changes that may be unpopular in the short term, but pay off in the long term, you're mostly impotent. *once the current pandemic restrictions are lifted, of course. Exactly this. The only reason to take the job right now would be to bolster your CV prior to getting a job where you can do something. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Yeah the rebrand looks good and we’ve had some good attendances but the Toronto report and everything that went with it was embarrassing. All in all the clubs will never agree and it’s an unforgivable job. Just a glorified spokesman for the 12 turkeys voting against Christmas.

All that matters are the clubs, it's not a case of I'm alright Jack, it's the case that without them the game has no revenue at all. If those 12 clubs fail then the game dies, so I'm more than happy that they put themselves first and carry on ignoring the fantasists on here and in the media.

Wholly Trinity Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 30 minutes ago, Mark S said: The role should go to someone who has not had a connection to a club at any time. Ideally, a savvy business person with marketing ideas and very good connections. Do not let Hetherington near this, he’s yesterday’s man.

DoubleD Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 No surprise, his position really became untenable in recent weeks - Failure to stipulate 'introductory fee' was only payable upon SLE either entering exclusive talks with a PE provider or execution of agreement. That was a costly and unforgiveable mistake, even more so considering he knew there was opposition to PE within SLE stakeholders. He was ultimately accountable, particularly as he was so heavily in favour of PE The continual leaks to the press, undermining his position Now is the time to undertake root and branch structural reform amongst the stakeholders at the top of the game to create governance that is fit for purpose, and not at the whim of turkeys. Alternatively, it could open the door to NRL.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
