Anyway this is now my post so only admin can remove it let’s see if they do as that will answer the question.
OMG people. Asiata lands at 11.15am tomorrow go meet him and cheer him in. The website is broken we are having it fixed a budget has already been set into a new one that’s being built to replace it but this one is being repaired. A new social media expert from a football club is serving his notice and due to start. An NRL player didn’t get a GBE so we can’t register him he was 0.5 games short. A player will be announced in next two days that has been approved and another has signed and will be approved but we won’t announce until it has we also have another in the pipeline. 1.2million pound squad plus coaching etc for 180k central funding and 400k parachute plus all associated costs it’s a massive investment. When Adrian names his captains his players will be first to know along with squad numbers he has chose not to do that yet. Whilst our fans are what it’s all about and the most important revenue stream we don’t run the club based on your comments or needs. We are dual with saints and know what we can expect from them player wise. We are not stupid and I have a lot at stake and am very happy with the work of Karen. Chris Neil and Adrian in running the club. We won’t sign people that do not fit for signings sake. We will deliver for our fans when the result at the end matters I hope our fans deliver for us as up to now our sales don’t do that. I must say the negativity and slagging off is wholly unhelpful. We had an employee in tears last night due to tripe ranted on social media about merchandise. Everyone has an opinion and is entitled to it just as I am mine especially when I am pumping fortunes into the place again to get where we deserve to stay there. If you ain’t got anything positive to say then please keep it to yourself as it just don’t help. Trust in those putting money time and effort in and those with a proven track record and experience who are being paid to do a job that they will do it. We won’t fail and we ain’t perfect but I could easily come and analyse any of our critics in their lives and work and give a load of negativity. A supporters job is to support to be positive and defend the club no matter what not disrespect and criticise it. I care not if people who are of that ilk like my comments or even turn up I would sooner go to war with real people who go with what we have and fight till the end. Rant over!"

Well I’ve been saying this for weeks now , it looks like Derek and Adrian and Chris have everything in control ,a couple of our fans on here have been negative about future signings but it seems there is no need to worry , have faith in Derek ,I have .
I’m sure before the season starts our squad will be one that will impress fans , let’s get behind Derek and the Centurions , I can wait for the Haven game .

I have stated a few times that recruits will be overseas due to the lack of availability of FT players of quality willing to play in the championship over here. Now we all know visas get declined etc so its far better to announce when wrapped up than hopeful and fall through.

So according to Derek fans aren't allowed to criticise anything the club does and it needs more supporters as you don't have enough. What a way to talk about your fanbase.

Re: John Asiata : Mon Jan 17, 2022 1:27 pm  

Lack of communication by the club created a Void and rightly or wrongly the void was filled.Derek seemed to address fans concerns but then shockingly went off on one . Maybe a insight into Derek's big balls character, legal action will be taken against any form of discention more akin to North Korea. Maybe the reason we have a high turn over of board members staff and players and trouble recruiting players.Anyway that aside looking forward to the new season and hoping for success and not the clusterf#ck we have had to endure the last few seasons

I wouldn't want him but Im a little divided on it. Yes his money brings the opportunity to have a shot of playing at the top level but I would also feel there is as much chance of that happening as there is of him destroying the club.
