Privatisation Tito, but not to just anyone. We're so far behind how the other clubs are run financially we need someone or a consortium that can dump money into it so we can catch up then dump more so we can start clawing our way ahead. In virtually every department we either have less staff, less qualified staff cause theyre cheaper or just don't have a programme. What blows my mind is we are in a game of developing junior talent through our nursery. No matter any player at some point was a junior who was identified by a club and picked up. That's the back bone of any club. Successfull clubs have recruitment programms and pathways to identify and nurture these kids through their football programmes. Roosters I'm pretty sure have about 5 scouts at any given time out looking, who also back up as assistants and perform other various tasks at the club. We have 1 Shannon Gallant. With our catchment we have 1 scout who's job it is to identify the talent. It's pathetic. We can't compete. Richo opened an office in Campbelltown, to do what? What is it there for? Is it somehow making us money? Seriously what is it. Is it a recruitment tool, like the army you go in and sign up?
Hbg have left us treading water on the smell of an oily rag from day one. Wests Campbelltown, Ashfield and Balmain Leagues were all deadbeat useless owners who argue about the colour of a jersey or size of a strip bird instead of funding us properly. You want to fix the joint, get rid of the braindead deadbeat owners we have once and for all and privatise to a consortium who understand business and that in this game putting money into the joint creates success that in turn creates wealth. Hbg have been at the helm now for over a decade, we've been a mess and achieved nothing. Yet do you think that they have ever just said to the ceo or board were upping our funding or here's some money to put somewhere, with out asking without being asked, they just said here's funds use them. If I'm running the joint after 10 years with no success first thing I'm doing is looking at how the successfull clubs are being funded and how I'm funding mine. Not our fantastic owners. They do sweet f.a. They asked Richo if he needed more funds he said no. As a professional he's too proud to say yes, he should suck up his pride for the good of the joint and say throw as much at us as you can. And Hbg, shouldn't even ask if they really give a toss, they should just throw money at him, they're a not for profit arnt they, so what do they care, it's all supposed to go back to the community anyway. It's an enditment on our owners that after 10 years with no success they must assume its normal or they would just force the issue not ask if we need funds. Morons. Deadbeats. Sorry that's my rant over.
