Re: Contract Situation
Here's one.
How much doom and gloom would be lifted if Paddy was announced on a 2 year deal as Billy's replacement?
I think it'd be huge, and that supporters would lap it up.
There's also probably the same amount of chance of that happening as me being announced on a 2 year deal to play 10 tbf.

Re: Contract Situation
Listed in the annual report under the heading of "Professional Game Board" are the following
S Best
M Boyd
DMF
Bryn
P Magee
D Millar
C Small
T Bowe
Petrie
Are these board members that have allowed the current shambles to develop? At present there is as much clarity around who exactly is in charge at Ulster Rugby as there is regarding the number of oul Boris's weans.
I didn't feel inclined to browse too much of said report but it is all too evident that the "blazers" are alive and well. Picture after picture of immaculate blazers all over the shop, I suppose it has always been so and will forever be the case

Re: Contract Situation
I saw that myself and wondered how it could function. Not a fan of committees at all, add to that that some of these are actual employees of UR and others 'just' volunteers, how on earth can that work! Who is accountable for what, just so weird.horslips wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 4:33 pm Listed in the annual report under the heading of "Professional Game Board" are the following

Re: Contract Situation
I've said it for a long time. Most of the committees at Ulster Rugby should be disbanded. There are too many people involved whose sole qualification is that they have sat on a committee for 30 years.Lurgan Lad wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 9:50 pmI saw that myself and wondered how it could function.

Re: Contract Situation
Well... The board could look a bit different as could the team if this is to be believed

Re: Contract Situation
Marshall's deal is up in the Summer, Addison signed a new deal with unknown length ahead of the 2022/23 season. Possible those two move on. Would be surprised re Ewers, he only signed last Summer.NoPayneNoGain wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 1:31 pm Well... The board could look a bit different as could the team if this is to be believed

Re: Contract Situation
The irony that Luke has been one of the few warriors for Ulster.. unlike a few I could name in the squad. He adds spine to our midfieldNeill_M wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 3:36 pmMarshall's deal is up in the Summer, Addison signed a new deal with unknown length ahead of the 2022/23 season.

Exterminate all rational thought
Re: Contract Situation
Ewers signed a 2yr deal, can’t see him leaving unless he wanted to leave. Petrie may well be sniffing getting back to Scotland. I think there’ll be serious consideration now given to recontracting players. Surprised re Marshall but maybe time for postlewaite to push through.
As much as the coaching tkt needs replacing, the squad does need an over haul too.

Re: Contract Situation
The biggest question to me in the Annual Report is with regards to grant income, it was £4.6m made up of CVC £2.2m and IRFU £2.4m. Given we made a loss of £900k and this is the last year of the CVC income, how much do we need to cut spending by? On the assumption that £600k of the loss was due to pitchgate, are we having to cut spending by something like £2.5m or will the IRFU make up a some of the grant income? The other provinces should be similarly affected unless grant income has a strong relationship with Ireland representation.
Also think it is crazy to make the decision to go with one of Petrie and Cunningham now, we could have sacked at least one of them due to pitchgate at the time. Unless Petrie is leaving of his own volition I'm guessing we would have to pay him something to get rid of him.
