Knightsrebuild - time to do something.

[Whats Doing]

Great work Nuffy and Macca.

Whilst there appears to be positive signs from the Board about the directions they are wanting to take the club, I agree with Aqua that there needs to be real and visible signs of improvement over the next 6 months.

I would hope that there is some sort of supporter input into the Board as it will provide a mechanism for input from a real time, different and impartial perspective for the Boards consideration.

Hopefully when they do their reviews, they will turn to us for abit of feedback from the fans perspective. Most legitimate businesses value customer feedback and I hope the club is the same. We'd atleast through Jason and Shane have shown we can articulate ourselves in an intelligent and concise manner which is more than I can say for a lot of the supporter base

Been following and love your work, whilst the club won't come out and say it is their any indication stone will be moved on if we don't improve?

Just listening to Corey Parker on triple m and he was asked what is different this year.... Why are broncos going so well........... He said the number 1 thing was accountability........ You put on the broncos jersey as a privilege, you are given a job and you are expected to do the job

Signing hodkindon is not rebuilding

Nothing to suggest that it will happen. But I guess you could say that they weren't going to sign anyone and then Hodkinson comes along so who knows.

My concern is the economic impact of not doing something. The club doesn't want to pay him out I would assume and then add another coaches salary on top.

But what happens if we continue to lose into 2016? What's the economic impact in lost members and reduced corporates?

Somebody needs to do the math.........

Very interesting and easily understood. I'll tweet this.

Newyboy,

Signing Hodko is not rebuilding but sticking with Tyrone is???

It's possibly a start at least.

 

[Whats Doing]

Good article by McGuigan in todays Newcastle Herald. At least he is starting to communicate with the fans.

 

[Joker's Wild]

How many times did he use the word "magic"?

 

[slotmachine]

Not enough. He says Stone's loyalty to Newcastle deserves to be rewarded.

Er, what loyalty? Stone was interviewing for other head coaching jobs when Bennett was in charge. I guess loyalty is having clubs like the Cowboys (wisely) reject you.

 

[Nuffy]

I get what he is trying to do, but right now the supporters need more than slogans, we are well beyond that now.

I'd also make the point that invoking loyalty seems unusual when you are trying to shop your halfback..........

Team, its time to decide whats the next step for the campaign.

We've got the strategic plan coming out shortly.

Things are going from bad to worse on the field, with the club seemingly immovable on a change of coach irrespective of results.

The players are letting the coach down badly but unfortunately for Stone, he has to take responsibility and if the club is committed to accountability then at some point very soon, people need to be held to account.

My great concern is that the commercial impact of not stepping in and acting will be profound.

 

[Frederick]

Could always wait and see what the crowd is like this Saturday. I reckon there's a damn good chance of a sub 10k crowd.

 

[Haffa]

I doubt they'll post it as a sub 10k crowd even if it is.

If the strategic plan is coming out shortly I would suggest we wait for that. We would then see where they are behind in terms of achievement, (the 1st grade performance is an obvious area together with dwindling crowds) and hold them account as to what corrective action and timeframes they propose to undertake to address the deficiencies against the strategic plans KPI's.

 

[Spot On]

Maybe the strategic plan for the fist grade side this week could be to run harder and tackle harder than their opposition??

Play like they want to win a game after 3 months of shit.

Something.

Amazing really, everyone can see the same thing. Except the club...................

 

[The Showstopper]

Great work from Kenty. Best part in NRL 360 was him saying they aren't playing Newcastle football. I believe Mullen, Uate, McManus, Snowden and Houston are the players he was referring to. He is dead right. We need to find kids with hunger. In time the benefits will follow.
