Drew would Mark Coyne ever make a play for CEO?
What is the politics of Doust's reign? How come he cannot be removed please?
I don't know a lot about Coyne. The little I do know is he qas quite hesitant to get involved on any side. Can't say I know what his intentions are, but I hope he sticks his nose in one day. Would be an asset to the club.
The structure of the Leagues club, RLFC and JV makes change incredibly difficult and very slow. Even if you got 3 members on the leagues board (which is the first step), you're looking at two to three years before real change could be enacted. Robinson, Doust and co have a very, very deep hold on the club and it makes uprooting them incredibly slow and involved.
Doust and Robinson will retire before they're 'ousted'; not enough supporters will come out on election day and cast their vote, essentially. I would say we have another 10 years of their meddling before any formal change of the guard could be considered as having passed without a huge effort from the supporters to rally and enact change.
To be honest, I also think there's not enough qualified men to replace them that could be trusted. There's about four or five really good egg's around, who would be beneficial if involved in the leagues club, but you can only devote part time energy to this and the club is running 24/7, so it's not easy to mount a ticket and keep your entire life operating normally. We really do need someone like Kevin Ryan, or Mark Coyne, to give it a go - men who have time, a lot of business nous and a league understanding.
Check out this thread, and you'll see some of the stuff that goes on and why it's so hard to enact change.
