Well unless he is planning on throwing money at the team I can't see how. I took it to mean that when we had the arena we would be signing the best players - and had we won the tender I think we would have.
Until then though, we can't hope to compete. And I guess we will have to see how much being PI's tennants will cost us.

There is just a general feeling I'm getting. Things like the taking the merch off CH Sports, or the Red Army thing at the expense of CDSL.
Yes, I can see the reasons for those decisions. But I can also see the negative effect they may have - and how out of depth the club looks sometimes (*cough* buying game worn jerseys *cough*).
After the bad taste left by Poppy Gate last year, the outcry from leaving players, and a myriad of little things, I am worried that we haven't just not learned from the bad feeling they built but may actually be increasing it.
No 50/50 around the rink? Are we not doing because we have changed direction - or are we annoying people so much they aren't helping?
We seem to be leapfrogging from ultra professional to less than Sunday league style administration of the business. They need to remember that they are a very small business, with a tiny turn over and I doubt any profit. I am willing to be proved wrong, but I would hope that they would realise that in their situation good faith is often worth more than any finacial rewards, and they build good relationships that return more than they could otherwise afford to buy.
I hope that my fears are proved wrong, but I dread that I wont be.

Interesting. I hadn't really thought of it like that but I see where you coming from.
I do however have faith in Paul Reagan (if not all the backroom staff). When he said at the meet the players night that he knew some of the decisions taken would upset some people (as change always does) it was his belief that everything they were doing was in the best interests of club and he asked people to trust him and the management on that.
I'm not really in a position to comment too much as i've never been in CDSL or in many of the things that are changing but I would like to give him time. I think it will take some parts of the organisation more time than others to catch up and become as professional as I believe is the vision. I have faith in Paul that he will push that through the change for the better and weedle out those people who are not upto the job and perhaps responsible for some of the PR gaffs we have seen in the past.

I would have more faith if it wasn't for last season and then the Romfo incident. Taken on their own, no biggie - together they amount to a big question mark for me. The Devils aren't going to be the all powerful juggernaut that the likes Manchester united, or the Scarlets :lol: are.
I wait to be surprised, but I am deeply worried that they have alienated a lot of people moving so much.
