fair in what you said, i totally agree with you on Justin but Hoo er took it too the extreme, callin him childish names and for a foxes chief rugby league man i thought it was very childish. I understand he follows us and like the rest of us was frustrated but he was the first to sink the boot in every time and now we have had 2 wins he is on the train so to s eak. The media are on our side atm but wait till we have a losses they will be on our back again with knives shar ened. I dont trust our boy James Hoo er one little bit!!We have easily been the worst run club in sport within Australia the last decade and a lot of it has had to do with our former CEO Pascoe who was running the ship as I don't think he was leading us to success but more likely the other direction as each year passed (if that upsets some people, I'm sorry but it's just the reality of it all)
So can you blame Hoops for being critical of us because it seemed he hasn't been wrong in identifying Pascoe as the issue this last decade which is not solely his fault don't get me wrong but a large portion if you ask me.... 2 or 3 bad seasons fair enough but it was 12 years of straight failure. The negative reactions were warranted.
This is a CEO who kept trying to shove membership increases and $ deals in our face framing we were making strides to success when really we weren't; it proved to all be one big lie as Richo came out stating the membership numbers were flawed the whole time and our fan base were being lied too. I won't ignore the COE as that was a big deal and something Pascoe should be thanked and acknowledged for, however if the only thing you can point to in 10 years is no on-field success in the slightest with no top 8 finishes, terrible retention record with superstars leaving us to win premierships elsewhere as a main piece, terrible recruitment and inability to acquire top level players even with the inflated $ offered and don't get me started on the 6 NRL coaches we had in the space of 10 years but you point to the new facility...…well it's clear to see we weren't well run at the slightest.
I never understood why people get so defensive of the journos with their thoughts on us like they weren't technically wrong.... don't get it twisted I can't stand the toxic media outlets lately but the journos aren't the ones to blame entirely.... it's the player managers who are meant to protect the players images who are pulling the strings of the journos doing the opposite to benefit their pockets.
Sorry for the rant and I know it’ll be unpopular cause I’m backing the journos a bit but just my thoughts.
