Actually no - it hasn’t at all other clubs. In a recent fan forum we learnt that our sponsorship at Huddersfield is the highest it’s ever been. Ken Davy realised that trying to grow the fan base to increase revenue was a lost cause so the emphasis was taken away from there. Instead he reduced ticket prices and increased the focus on business sponsorship. The business sponsorship brings in more revenue than money lost to ticket sales.
He didn’t build a financial advice business and sell it for 75 million by not understanding finances!
This is exactly what I have been saying for a long time,it is the job of the CEO/owner (call it whatever you want) to bring on the investment or get in people who can bring in the investment, it quite simply isn't good enough or proffesional to say "nobody wants to invest" a good CEO/owner gets the people to believe in the product and puts the necessary plans and procedures into place to make this happen.
We are (at the moment) playing in the elite level of rugby league but being run like a corner shop
