Why don't we have a CEO after all this time in the middle of a season?
Laziness, unprofessional small business, and a tight arsed owner. If he can get away without paying a salary (despite the walls falling in) he will.
Why don't we have the other one (CFO?) after all this time in the middle of a season?

Where has the passion of Des Hasler gone?
Put it this way. Crusher failed his KPI's so badly at The Dogs, they wanted to sack him. Des then brings him back to Manly! It's a job for the boys. I DO think Des is trying though, I just think the games well and truly moved past the old dinosaur
Why are we the most strapped team in the competition?
Not sure if you mean CAP strapped, or injury situation. BUT, I will say our cap management, roster mangement is an embarrassment of epic proportions. No Hooker for 3 years? Ugh.
Why did you extend DCE before you had to?
Desperation signing after others are exodusing (see Walker, Foz) - it's also AGAIN, poor management. 34 next year. Highest paid player in the league. Look at our results. Inconsistent at BEST.
Why is club communication so rubbish?
Arrogance. Terrible media manager, who literally has no boss. Tuilagi still hasn't been announced, and it's getting airplay on nine and Fox during games. Who was that woman that went to Parra, then another sport? She was fantastic, and started building bridges with the divide between fans and our club big time.
Why do we often not use all our interchanges?
Because Des is devoid of ideas. It's also why we've had to plug in players who aren't ready for fist grade into the top 30 just to make the player numbers required. A lack of planning. A lack of execution. Des did the same with the Dogs when he took them to the cellar (and where they still haven't recovered from)
Why is Schuster still on the bench?
To a degree, I get it. He's not match fit or game ready. He wasn't even looking at balls beoing passed to him at one stage, and if you saw him trying to run the length of the field.....I'm not sure he has 80 minutes in those big chunky legs.
Why was Jorge in the side?
Desperation, lack of planning, lack of creativity or imagination. We had MUCH better options, but risk adverse Des went with the easy way out, and we got absolutely fleeced for it.
Why do the players look like they barely know each other?
Culture. It's driven from the top (we've all heard the ex players say it). We don't have a CEO, we don't have a CFO, we are crap with customer interaction. These players don't care about the club. They care about their next paycheck.
Why do the Penns still own the club?
Because he's made a huge profit from us. It feeds his ego, and gives him a value of self entitlement. He'd rather us collapse to the ground than sell to another party who may add value (and this may be in the course of happening).
Why can't I stop caring?
My final straw was last night. All I have left now is venting with you guys. I have the NHL, the AFL, the Soccer (and all my other teams show pride and spirit), so I'm okay). The players have an apathy to losing. I have an apathy with them now.
