I was thinking more of his tweet when he left which appeared to be supportive of Paddy.

I also thought we'd forgiven Charless?
As for forgiving Charles, that would be a bit like moving......
Actually for Charles I blame whoever wouldn't let him come here early, if we had he might have given more of a feck

His current role of Director Of Rugby and previous are very different to a CEO. His education wouldn't lend to it either.
Touche - I shall remove Charless from the blimp order, and replace him with Toby Hedworth, Pip Browne, the other Pip, Tommy from Comber and CliveBaggyTrousers wrote:I was thinking more of his tweet when he left which appeared to be supportive of Paddy.

It was a crap move that Nucibastard, I assume, would not allow him to come 6-8 months early, it would have meant he did get a taste for the joys of Lionelland.

There is an argument that the CEO decisions are made at D4. Strategic long/medium term planning should be similar for all 4 provinces. And the IRFU's interest in the provinces is about strengthening their Ireland business.Fortyniner wrote:like it or not all professional rugby is now a business. So a CEO is essential. Not a "penpusher".
and so therfore is a DOR.
far sighted bollix.
local deals and sponsorship would not be the traditional role of a CEO. I accept that Ulster in particular will require individual attention with their relationship with Stormont for example, but that could still be led from Dublin with divisional management providing the local knowledge.Fortyniner wrote:BR
possible, so long as there is some local autonomy in pursuing local deals and sponsorship........some of which is only interested in UR support. ( and I know the money goes there (d4) anyway, but it is about perception).
My thoughts as well BR, 1 CEO for Irish rugby is all that is requiredBR wrote:There is an argument that the CEO decisions are made at D4.

Therefore is a CEO required in each province? 4 VPs in a COO role may be more appropriate.
I don't think there's any question about this - the "CEO" roles in the provinces are more in the nature of an Operations Director, reporting to group CEO in Dublin, responsible for implementing the IRFU board's strategic plan in the respective province.BR wrote:There is an argument that the CEO decisions are made at D4.
