I’m still not sure what questions exactly you want asking. It appears to be “why is Phil Finney CEO?”. You say he’s incompetent, loosely based on poor recruitment and poor results. I don’t believe you have any real knowledge of how he performs as CEO, nor do I. But it’s the board’s decision to employ him and I’m sure they are happy to do so. It’s quite a different situation to James Rule, given he was trousering a load of expenses and was also on the board himself; he was unlikely to vote to sack himself.

I’m not sure if you listened to the podcast I did with PF, but he explained in pretty detailed terms the decisions surrounding the academy, especially in relation to the withheld funding and the financial impact. He even said in the interview that in hindsight, they shouldn’t have taken on the academy post administration - but the goalposts were changed and they weren’t aware of that.

There are numerous full-time staff within the club - are you calling for all of them to be sacked? Saving money on admin staff doesn’t create more room on the allocated salary cap.

I’ve asked Simon Finnigan some questions about the team - if they’re fit enough, if there’s an attitude problem, if confidence is an issue, what the situation is around recruitment etc - which will be in the next podcast.

I’m not shutting down any debate, I offer my opinion on things - I just don’t particularly appreciate being called out by anonymous people.

Flash - don’t let the idiots wind you up. You’re doing fine, nobody else gets as much info out of the club than you do.

It was only a matter of time till the Wire Comical Brothers turned on you Flash.  It was a different story when I sent them a couple of DMs and they where pleading with you to ban me 😂😂  I would also put money on it that the have tried to get most posters on here banned.  The Wire loving duo are Keyboard Gangsters of the highest calibre.

Hey glad you’ve crawled from under your rock and sorted out your internet. For your info I never had a pop at flash, as I pointed out that is fans own 11% of the club via VIQI therefore they are entitled to know what’s going on. As for trying to get you banned last time, spout the same stuff out at you did last time about a certain topic, at around 11 o’clock on a Saturday night when you’re fuelled on frosty jacks, it won’t be me, flash or anyone else that’ll try and get you banned, you’ll be jail me old china!

Anyway glad to see you back and look forward to your insightful comments about all things Widnes

So, if VIQI (or the fans that contribute) are 11% shareholders, what input are they having, re; Coaching appointments (Finnigan) recruitment/retention of players?

Or, are the 'named' Board members just providing the funds to PF, to run the Club how he sees fit?

Who is calling the shots?

That’s exactly my point to flash, by the looks of it all VIQI members should be written too, or at least emailed to let them know what the set up of the club is. I thought that is Mr Shaw is the VIQI chairman (I maybe wrong) and he was the ‘fans’ voice on the new board.

COMMUNICATION

We acknowledge that communication is key.  VIQI members will receive regular updates by email and via the VIQI website.  We will also share information and comment via our Twitter account (@Vikings_Quidsin).   We also plan to introduce occasional meetings and online surveys and further channels for communication and opinion sharing.  VIQI  members are always welcome to send letters or emails to VIQI and we will endeavour to reply within ten working days info@viqi.co.uk

This is an extract from the VIQI Charter. If you are a member, why not contact them direct and ask the question? As you we know, Jason Shaw is the current VIQI representative on the club Board of Directors. You could also look at the WV Official site if you want to know what the "set up" is at the club - details of the first team backroom staff were reported in February.

As for fans having an input into the appointment of a coach and player recruitment/retention, isn't that Jason Shaw's role as the current VIQI representative on the Board. If you want VIQI to be more democratic in its appointments in future, why not put a motion to the next AGM about this.

Not all "fans" contribute to VIQI therefore to say ...that it is fans own 11% of the club via VIKI... is not correct.

Do us all a favour sunny and translate your quote into English? Also could you explain what VIKI is?

Thanks in advance

VIKI - a typing error on my part, apologies, should have written VIQI. In mitigation, typing errors are not unknown on this board however you are quite right to draw it to my attention.

The quotation I used was taken from your own post so you will need to ask yourself to put it into English.
