So regardless of Starbugs reasoning we HAD employed someone.

As that person has moved on why are we not employing a replacement?

The job description included stuff like getting old fans back and getting new ones in - not an impossible task is it? It sounded like a no lose situation - we employ a person to attract interest/money and the RL pay his wage

I know of a very experienced person who applied for the job and wasn't even given the courtesy of an interview. He says the communication was shocking for a prospective employer. The club know who is - why don't they give him a call.

Probably coz he might be good at his job and might show the board up

Don't know if that's the case or not - only the Board can answer that one. But surely if the club is to move forward they should be looking to employ experienced and committed people.

Not what I was told , and fine though it would be having somebody with that directive paid for by the RFL , without a budget they will achieve nothing

As there was no job description in full published with the advert I presume 24.7 applied and got a full one? 'cause the bit about old fans etc certainly wasn't in the advert I saw.

sounds ok

Well, there is experience, in the family. Neil's brother, Richard, was Commercial Manager, in our SL season, but didn't last long in the job. I think he found travelling from Wakefield a bit of a nightmare.

Not many can last long in that type of position at lower league or unfashionable clubs

Even the ones at big clubs are now struggling , the number of corporate sales info sheets I'v had from premier footy clubs this year has rocketed
