Nigel Wood : Sun Jan 28, 2018 10:53 pm  

Because Nigel has done such a poop job running the RFL , they (whoever they are now?) are going to give him £500,000 according to RLE !!! I can only think that he made a clause in the chief executive contract whilst he STILL held the position that this would happen. The game has very little money spare, yet this man gets half a million for LEAVING! Christ on a bike..
Not only that but he now gets PAID to visit places like New York in his new ‘job’ he must live next to a rainbow and a field of four leaf clovers, how does anyone so useless get so ‘lucky ‘ ?

Just sums up the administration of the sport. They really can't do anything right at the the minute.

I don't usually have any gripe with someone in a high profile and pressurised role wanting a high salary, with this I do.

We are a minority sport, and probably a good percentage of our clubs are financially struggling, or have done over the past few years.

I bet there are several fans who have a good all round knowledge of the sport, who has a sound business knowledge could do a better job, who would see the sports welfare as paramount for a much smaller salary.

Just think how much could be put back into the sport in grassroots development and good marketing Tec.

But this isn’t his salary EW this is a pay off because HE left his job!!

Good for him. If he can come away with a deal like that he does right.
It reflects perfectly what going on in the uk today
People who have achieved sfa walking away with massive pay outs . He isn't worth a dime

Yep. Do a good job get a huge payoff. Do a sh*t job get a huge payoff.

Twenty Nigels and you've got a new stadium. That is all.

It's not the pay off that is the problem, it's the contract that included such an astronomical figure (or calculation based on salary).
Even in an uncertain world where positions may not be for life, or anything close, 2 1/2 x annual salary is just unnecessary.
You cant ever blame someone for accepting too much brass, most others would be happy to do the same but, who the hell draws up such over blown contracts.

He could certainly go under the tag ‘fat cat’ couldn’t he? Twenty of him would also FILL a stadium

Who agreed this package and who do they report to.

Typical of small groups of directors rewarding themselves for failure.

Where has accountability in the UK gone.
