In going forward we need a commercial attitude towards the development of a sustainable financial and inclusive board and club. In order to do this we need to respect all those that have contributed towards this club in our darker times as well as embracing those that wish to donate small and large amounts of money and time now. A business model needs not just a leader and a structure but a commercial approach that recognises those that bring in money via all means including performance pay. If a person brought in £100k then I would not begrudge them getting £10k of that. After all 90% of something is better than 100% of nothing which is what we have now. Thats good business. Reliance on one person to supply income is also is not sustainable. I do think, however, that clarity of information and reporting is needed. Bar talk, forum dirt throwing and rumours whilst the norm these social media days do not help us as a club and the only way to dispel them is communication by the board.
A spirit of recognition of club / board members who may put in money or skill is needed. Members contribute just as much in skill as money i.e. free legal and accounting advice, summer works programme. All contribute to creating an environment where we all muck in together. This is how we have got to where we are as a club. Let’s not fool ourselves in thinking that money in will match money out. I am sure that most clubs at our level work on a manageable deficit each year. We do need more income that’s true and this is a somewhat urgent matter but without a balanced board with skills from the past and present why would people or companies come and donate to our club as opposed to others.
