you can't get the 50ish regular posters on here to agree on anything (besides Thorman's general crapness) How do you think multiplying that by a factor of 200 would work in any way, shape or form?

Really? Why?
Or were you under the impression that ordinary shareholders were told everything about the operation of a company...

agar has been in charge for a year now. The team are underperforming, playing abysmal rugby and seem to lack effort. A decent coach gets the best out of players, agar does not. Stop laying the blame elsewhere

No one could definitively say he would fail, however there was a high probability he would, and it's come home to roost. At the time, the club shouldn't have gambled on an untried coach

Or if they had to, they shouldn't have given him a 2 1/2 Year contract.

Yea but only for the next 3 months they aint getting anymore of mine until they start to listen and sort out the crap we have - as I have said before we pay the top dollar to watch at the KC - and much as I love playing there and would not watch anywhere else I am only going to games I choose in the future - much like going to the Theatre or a concert me thinks

They didn't have to at all. They should have made him caretaker for the rest of last season whilst they looked for a top quality coach

Thats not the point, the point is it would show the boad that we want changes and are not just willing to fund the club regardless, it would make them listen, anyone who has thought about it properly knows that we need the current board, there are no other options nobody wants to bring the club down/turn there back on the club, but they also need us and we need to make them realise that its best for both parties is we have a successful side on the field, becuase I feel they believe that they can cut corners on staff and player recruitment becuase of no threat of relegation and an average of 13K will turn up week in and week out.

Im not boycotting a game but i would be more than happy to sit there for an hour afterwards if it got our point across. Keeps me out of the sports bar and off the over priced gastly beer!

My understanding is that hierarchically we have:
The Board - they own the shares of the club
The Directors - some are board members some arent
Our Management
Players
The only way that the board could leave would be if they sold their shares to someone else. I believe also that Kath is both a Board member and a Director.
IMO the issue lies with tiers 3 and 4 above not tiers 1 and 2.

| This is what i said a few weeks ago look at St Helen's average crowd each week 9.000 crap ground but squid class you can never wright them off in any game now look at Hull F.C 12.000 fans at a game like quins or Catalan best ground in the league but that's it. When you dont have a Bord that will spend the money to make this club be one of the best in the league well i think they should just sell up and move on speculate to accumulate i think is the Fraze if they think they are earning good money off us now when they just bring in any average Jo if they put there hands in there pockets and got a world class coach and some world class player's they would earn double dont you think if the fans can see this the Bord must be able to but until they sell the club i can not see anything changing

We have had world class players, we have spent money on some occasions.

The thing is Rovers board isn't all that great, they have just profited from our mistakes. Letting Briscoe go, not having Cooke on a signed contract and us not being prepared to offer good money to gain Dobson. I know people say that Tony is better then Briscoe, or Dobson wanted silly money but it don't look too silly now does it with KR sitting pretty in the league.
What we need is to sign a top class scrum half on a 3/4 year contract and build a team around him.

Don't forget the MOTM performance by Briscoe last week

| Thing is how many world class 7's are there? Maybe 3 or 4 in the NRL and 1 at best in SL. They are all tied up to their clubs (have a think when was the last world class 7 to move clubs? Probably Scott Prince 3 years ago!). Usually it is about having decent players that can play well then adding a sprinkle of class where you can find it and finally getting a good coach who can pull it all together.
All clubs are on teh same salary cap so it comes down to getting best bang for your $.
You may be waiting a long time if you are waiting to get your hands on a world class 7!
