Definatley

As you and myself has posted , the possible start of your 1 k club

It always was a good idea , but not for the average fan , but it is very accesable for companies big and small

Been thinking about it today and the conclusion in my opinion would be to say yes £ 25 a month is the starting point , but a grand a year [ £ 20 per week is a viable amount for many businesses ] , be they pubs ,shops or anything

I would suggest that they would get a tangible return of around £ 400 each in either ticketing , corporate , sponsorship or merchandise at cost price

Leaving £ 600 profit for the club each

The target then is 100 of them but done in stages , 10 , 20 ,50 up to the target of 100 I dont suggest that this is done by contact from the club to the business but by business to business contact

I will sign up now

After speaking To Allan Rowley after todays reserve game he clarrified a couple of points to me,
first the money raised by the 'corporate club' (my words not his) is only to go towards team strengthening and team matters, Allan is hoping that the take up of 'membership' will grow as people hear more and more about it and he is always willing to speak to businesses to explain the venture in full,
second the £25 per month is only a starting figure and is aimed at the small business and it is hoped that bigger businesses would put more into the 'scheme' than £25 per month, but no pressure will be put on anyone,
third as for the 'perks' that would be open to discussion with the individuals concerned,
fourth I asked is this the start of Mr Thomas pulling out or taking more of a back step he said that wasn't the case, he stated that 'I'm very excited at the prospect of these initial five members involvement and all of them had put in a 'substantial sum' to start the scheme going, all are not only successful businessmen but true Leigh centurions supporters who are willing to back the club with this cash injection to kick start the scheme, they are also available for us to ask advice in matters of business.

I'm sure the doubters amongst you will look on the above with the usual scorn, but at least I get off my backside and asked the questions off my own bat I wanted answering I'm sure if you aproached him he would answer any questions you have.

So you would want this group of people to set something like this up without speaking to the CEO of the club they are hoping to help

Alan Rowley is the unpaid chief executive of Leigh Centurions , in some respects I dont personnaly think Alan even wants the job , but he will do it to help our Chairman

Some people really do need to ' get real ' about the situation our club is in and how it is run

then he can leave cant he....not getting paid???? well suppose eating entertaining all for nowt no doubt..lording about in the executive suites!!!

Oh and as a CEO???? his qualifications are????

and to be a succesful club then maybe we do need to pay for a good CEO!!!!
BUT as usual on this board dont dare say anything against the mighty Rowleys!!!

Maybe some of you rose tinters need to get real....

ALL corporate entertainment at the LSV is paid for FACT.

What qualifications do you need to be a CEO?
I cant find any CEO qualifications on any University website

Like I said you could voice your concerns to his face.

Its well documented why Allan is CEO and the conditions why he is there.

Why not buy the club and appoint whoever you wish?

But I suppose with your obvious hate for all things Rowley you will see the above as being 'rose tinted' when in fact they are just questions and statement of fact, now that is reality.

Yes he could leave but as I said he works for AT and is paid by AT's company [ but recieves no money from Leigh centurions ]

Shock Horror Club CEO seen in boardroom and corporate rooms of RL club , where exactly do you expect him be on match days ? , where do you think you will find Gary Hetherington at Leeds on match days ?

Qualifications for the job of CEO at a sports club ? well let me think

Bricklayer

Postman

How about an MP or top management of an international bank like Northern Rock [ would you trust one of them to do it ]

Why dont you offer to do the job [ for free of course , then you could ' lord it about in the executive boxes ' as you put it ] or maybe you could offer to pay for a ' real ' [ in your opinion ] CEO , then you would be happy

£ 50,000 should get you one
