Good riddance.'"
Wow - that's some statement.
As a fan with absolutely no inside knowledge I can only react to what I've seen during his time at Wolves/Wire.
Clearly some of those initiatives may have been planned, but your comments are fairly strong stuff on the face of it. |

Maybe Draper's tenure at the club is a cost cutting exercise considering the reduced profits that were announced earlier in the season, & hopefully he can work some magic for the game as a whole via the RFL....media & marketing would be a good place to start.
As for pre match spotlights ,I think it was obvious that the idea would fail once the clocks went forward & games started in daylight .

Yes, with a Wembley appearance, an Old Trafford appearance, a league leaders shield and increased attendances, we should be very concerned about the financial wellbeing of the club. |

You didn't read the article in the Guardian a few months ago then about the dip in profits, but i am sure Draper's expertise will be put to better use serving the game as a whole anyway. |

Seemed to talk a good game and made a few positive changes (that I saw) but I always had the impression he thought he was doing us a favour by being our CEO.
Im sure the club will recruit well. They have a good solid set up at board level.

Lol. Funny I thought the same thing.
Now it seems he had his eye on another position all along.
Just needing a foot in the door or a stepping stone.
Andy Gregory springs to mind about now. |

I certainly did see the article, I keep a sad passing interest over the financial performance of the club.
I saw financial results that were profitable, despite significant transfer spend, lowest attendances for some time and extrodianary 'Admin' costs of £500k (which seemed to tie in with the expenditure in the new indoor training base, although why that would be classified as Admin I have no idea).
I'd imagine that Wembley, Old Trafford and the Shield would have netted us £400k at least. |
