Well we're hardly making a profit it seems on both the leagues club and football club, place all our emphasis on pokie machines instead of finding other avenues or introduce new inatives for increased revenue. We have a massive junior base so hence why we're always competitive in the junior ranks. We f**k up fan days, have one of the lowest sponserships in the NRL, declining home crowd averages thanks to a masterful plan to reduce our stadiums capacity ( lol at the BS excuse for that), tell every man and his dog that games are sell outs yet crowds of 19,000 are posted, have DF coming out and disrespecting our former great players and not involving them in anyway with our club, not even bar work, or what about autograph sessions after the games? nah the players need to 'warm down' more like warm up at the crown and rose, those 'warm downs get finished mighty quickly as when i've ventured over after the game some of the players are already there!
Well if we were to measure success on what i've written? we're f**king hideous and attrocious at runing a football club. But hey DF is the longest serving CE in the game:roll: he must be great lol. The only reason why he's the longest is that no one has really ever challenged him, he has the same cronies by his side eg Ron Hiltich aka Supercoach and Overton. I'd love to see Price, Sterlo etc try and do something here, could it be done?
lol i hate some of the attitudes on this board, a real looses mentality, they are kinda like your parents saying to you when you were younger before a sporting contest that ' it doesn't matter if you win or loose aslong as you have a good time and enjoy yourself':lol: i bet this is Dennis' mission statement, plastered on his office wall next to his pic of Ray Hadley and an old 7's trophy, and you wonder why we haven't won a premiership? Dennis is simply a looser, i don't mean that in a bad way? but he is! he's happy with medocrity aslong as anything slashes costs he'll be happy, funny though that he cannot even negotiate better sponsership deals or find anything but pokies to balme for Parra's potential decline in revenue.
Apart from Parra TV it has been well documented that our marketing department is/was rooted, and what about good ol Damien Kelly:lol:, however maybe someone had something to do with that? so i'll let that slide after all budget cuts and slashing costs wouldn't have helped Damian, but all is good, i'm sure Dennis would've been scouting the local tafes around and found a couple of promosing candidates who are hoping to finish the Cert IV in marketing reasonably soon, go get em Dennis!! before they're snapped up by Woolworths check-out managers!
IMO if i were runing the club? i'd be making an offer to Wayne Bennett, that's just me though, and sure Hagan has done a great job and still under contract, but the influence on our organisation would be amazing. And if Hagan hasn't done anything worthwhile by the end of his 3 years you watch DF rush to his side and sign him for 5 years.
Our club has never really been proactive, we're content with just stability rather then being more stragically orientated. Yeah sure we've had some moments, apart from pulling out a fake dog tud and plastic vommit out his bag of tricks, Dennis has done some things like ParraTV and ummmmm Eels on Wheels? lol and even that apparently has stopped.
Who remembers Dennis wanting to make a mothers day game an annual even at Parramatta stadium? :lol: well Dennis here's a tip, if you're that worried about making a profit, do not have games on Mothers day, if the first 3 times didn't produce anything over 9,000 people i'm sure it wont in the future lol
Possibly the stupidest idea i've ever heard! next he'll propose a game on Christmas day.
Anyway that's all i'll say.
