typical glory hunting MD was draper... where was he when we were at wilderspool eh?

He came in, made it rain with someone elses money, then when the going got tough, he ran off with the first person to bat their eyelashes at him.

Good riddance.

Wow - that's some statement.
As a fan with absolutely no inside knowledge I can only react to what I've seen during his time at Wolves/Wire.
Clearly some of those initiatives may have been planned, but your comments are fairly strong stuff on the face of it.

Sorry but I don't follow.

Apparently the head of Britains cycling team has just resigned.Suitable replacement?

Maybe Draper's tenure at the club is a cost cutting exercise considering the reduced profits that were announced earlier in the season, & hopefully he can work some magic for the game as a whole via the RFL....media & marketing would be a good place to start.

As for pre match spotlights ,I think it was obvious that the idea would fail once the clocks went forward & games started in daylight .

Yes, with a Wembley appearance, an Old Trafford appearance, a league leaders shield and increased attendances, we should be very concerned about the financial wellbeing of the club.

You didn't read the article in the Guardian a few months ago then about the dip in profits, but i am sure Draper's expertise will be put to better use serving the game as a whole anyway.

Seemed to talk a good game and made a few positive changes (that I saw) but I always had the impression he thought he was doing us a favour by being our CEO.

Im sure the club will recruit well. They have a good solid set up at board level.

Lol. Funny I thought the same thing.
Now it seems he had his eye on another position all along.
Just needing a foot in the door or a stepping stone.

Andy Gregory springs to mind about now.
