I ask the question. Is Nigel Wood good value for his £314 000 salary?

Re: Nigel Wood : Mon Jul 31, 2017 10:30 am  

In my opinion NO.

* The poor commercial performance of the RFL, sponsors, Sky deal.
* the relationship with Bradford, both the town ( inexplicable decision to give them the museum ahead of Huddersfield or even Leeds), the lack of effective oversight of the Bulls last franchise application and the ownership of Odsal,
* the inability to set the sport up for longterm success with a settled league structure..........

No
For all of the above, but mainly for the total lack of vision for the game going forward. The game is dying in its current format. the world club game is pointless and proves nothing at all, SL crowds are falling, ditto the other leagues.

The whole edifice needs a restructure, where the challenge cup fits in for example, it doesn't at the moment, the need to get a better visibility on terrestrial TV (Floodlit Cup anyone?).

Need to get a "Think Tank" Lenaghan et al together to relaunch the whole RL-SuperLeague concept

Re: Nigel Wood : Mon Jul 31, 2017 7:56 pm  

Have to agree, the game needs a radical shake up. Too many teams playing each other too many times in a season, leeds cas what is it 5 times already.
The challenge cup has lost all its sparkle

Who heads up the RFL and who votes on positions, pay, sets KPIs etc

Who does this guy answer too??

To put Big Niges salary into perspective. He earns more than twice what Theresa May earns as Prime Minister.
I suspect Big Nige would answer those who say he is rich in the same way Jeremy Corbyn responded over his salary.
Corbyn stated he is not rich on £134 000 per year, because of what he does with his money.
For Big Nige it must be the same. I suspect he puts it down his throat.

Not worth £314 pa never mind £314K pa. He has no vision and no idea how to improve. I agree with all the other comments made by everyone and I think this is the first post on here where no one has jumped in to defend a person or club or team. He, like SKY are fixated on SL and with just 12 teams in the league and only a 7 teams shown on SKY regularly and the remainder very occasionally this makes it boring to the independent viewer as they may never realise the great games that go on with the lower teams and the classic games in Championship. He made a massively stupid gaff with the placement of the Museum in Bradford and also buying the ground at Bradford for them to play at. Bradford have fantastically loyal fans and if he really wanted to help Bradford he should have bought a smaller ground to rent back to them not crippled them with a ground they could not afford to upkeep and put on so many restrictions no backers were interested. He has no idea how to conduct and grow a business and while he is at the top the game is sadly going to sink back to the 2 corridor and then into oblivion.

Aw come on leave the big fella alone, he is the lynch pin of our sport. He needs all that cash, he can't just go to m&s to get his suits you know!
