Well at 45 yo at least he's likely to have fordys approval

 

Where have they worked together before?

 

Featherstone

 

On the face of it, another great peice recruitment. Glad to see we've replaced Sparks vacant role rather than simply incorporate it into his current responsibilities

 

“I started with a plan to improve all areas of the club and I believe we’ve achieved this.

Furthermore, ranking first for financial performance in the latest ROI measures just demonstrates the club’s financial stability.

With the hard truth interview, this ties in with the ethos and thinking of Sparks. On the face it, seems a forward move.

 

45? Wet behind the ears.

 

To me & you maybe !

Apparently this guy is coming to Valley Parade as our new Commercial Director more positive moves from Ryan, maybe he worked with him during his time at Featherstone Rovers.

 

Jobs for mates

 

It's a good decision. Ryan can't (and shouldn't try) to do everything himself. In the same way Turnbull came in, we needed a specialist in this role. Good news,this.

 

Thought Mick Shackleton might take over but wonder if will be number two

 

Sparks has mentioned what a good job they did at Featherstone

 

Sparks is definitely the best according to Sparks, no question.

 

And?

 

Excellent move, like anyone in sales he will have his own pre existing client's which will be an upsell if they are with the new guy for not just supporting the local rugby team but looking at the return and commercial exposure through city.
