Probably some keys points, GM is required as role is to big for CEO/BA to share.

Our training facilities are shit, it’s probably rates in the bottom 25%!

And this is why you can never listen to the guys at TCT:

“The Old Saleyards development has changed the status of the club, with Parramatta now regarded as having one of the best training facilities in the NRL.”

So why the hell didn’t we apply for this funding in December last year? If we’re so far behind, this was easy money to tap into. Appalling from the CEO and Board that they either didn’t bother applying or couldn’t write a successful funding application when these other clubs could.

Their story is 2 1/2 years old. Still better than Tigers, Roosters, Canberra, Bulldogs, Souths, Manly.
Maybe you shouldn't bother to read what they say if it confuses you

It is you who is confused mate. The story is dated November 2016. Do I need to remind you that we are in August 2018? Count with your fingers if you need to. That is less than 2 years old. And Saleyards were never "one of the best training facilities in the NRL". Complete bullshit.

Because you have to fund 50% of it yourselves and we have burned $20m in the last few years. Poor timing.

Also, the facilities need to be shared with the public. I expect that most clubs would prefer a private COE like Panthers if they can fund it themselves.
