I am hearing no. My information is that the CEO of another "sports related organisation" is in line for the job.(hint - based not too far from Parra!).;-)
No. Instead of thinking outside the square - think sports venues !!!;-)
I was told that the club was interested in a particular person but I have no idea how far it has progressed.
Two things I like about this appointment.
* We got a professional not a politician or an ex-football player
* It wasn't leaked before it happened

All I am saying is the club have been after Ken Edwards for quite some time. I was given the tip 12 months ago the job was his.

Great appointment by the way.
Well about time! This is a long overdue appointment but at least Ken Edwards has the experience and reputation that a club like ours deserves. I am happy to see that he is keen to increase our membership numbers and I hope that he places a high priority on our fans to achieve this. Does anyone have any idea of how successful he was on this front with the Knights and Jets?
Don't know about Newcastle itself but my mail is HSG has been treading water for a long time, and the rumours about Tinky boy are even more unsettling for those working for himthe fact that parramatta were able to prise him away from the tinkler empire, does this mean that all is not going well in newcastle ?

My only concern is his former position as CEO of Stadiums Australia. I hope this in no way is any indication that we can look forward to moving more home games to ANZ in the future. Parramatta Stadium has already lost enough as it is and if anything I would like to see a movement towards returning more games to Parramatta Stadium and co operation with the Wanderers to press for further improvements - Something Edwards could be good at considering his involvement with the A League and the Jets.
I'm suss of any appointment this board makes. Their track record is dismal.
He was very successful with this with both clubs although the backing of Tinkler mean't that prices were cut I think pretty dramatically.

Sounds good. Must be concerning for Hunter fans that he's leaving the Tinkler group at a time that there is a (alleged) cash crisis for the said coal dude.
We've been spending some big cash on coaching staff and now office signings. Hope we can afford it. Are the pokies doing good ATM ?
lol.I was excited by the Osborne appointment, I therefore have no opinion.
