Whilst ever Lowe is our CEO, I will not be renewing my Sea Eagles membership. However, as soon as Penn and whoever from Quantum pull there head in and stop trying to save money on such a crucial position within the club by employing someone with only life experience, I will be quick to hand over my cash again.
I genuinely feel as though the club has no real direction at the moment. Something that investing 350-400k in a genuine candidate would solve.
I wonder how likely a return of Grant Mayer would be, Penn's were big fans, Quatum were big fans maybe the only stumbling block will be the leagues and football club or maybe not.
The bloke has proved his worth now in two roles firstly with us and now with GWS.
However I think we need to be fair with how we judge lowe atm
he has had to work with a disfunctional board (Penn / Delmege differences) Being the only club not having a major sponsor is a real concern and would have to be causing him some sleepless nights.
I also think the percieved seperation from the club and the support base since the exit of Aaron Markie wouldn't be helping the clubs cause in generating new membership.
Like him or not the one thing Aaron was able to achieve with the assistance of the likes of Mark and Vidmar was a really feeling of belonging between the members and the club. The closing of the forum and the limited communication since has really eroded alot of that good work.
On the bright side, new owners and a new membership manager could go a long way to restoring some of that.
I think the future looks promising for our club.

Mate, we would never be able to compete for Mayer, salary wise...now.
We had him but then we ****ed him sideways so he had no choice but to move on and continue kicking goals elsewhere.
