No owner/chairman/coach can promise success, whether it be football, rugby or any other sport for that matter.
All you can expect is for them to promise to do the best they possibly can to achieve success, a subtle difference.
I understand your comment, in my opinion though
Adam has overseen-
Made significant statements regarding player recruitment and not really delivered. The justification given for this apparent failure appears questionable. Demonstrated with Rangi Chase being recruited by Salford.
Employed staff who have made some strange signings and possibly Inappropriately high contracts offers? Either he has either been naive or guilty of not been sufficiently diligent.
Ousted a coach that delivered some progress including CC final and play off's. The reasoning being that results have not been good enough.
Replaced with another coach that has taken the club backwards in terms of on- field results. Yet to date he has retained that coach despite worse outcomes than his predecessors.
Has Adam done enough to help achieve on field success? Does Lee Rafford have enough support? Why when a coach is struggling to get on-field success, is he having to spend time going out to purchase air conditioning units.
The one thing that everyone appears to be agreed upon, is the difference made to the academy. But I ask how we actually know what that investment is. We only have Adam and his employees word for that don't we? Maybe I'm wrong here?
Why do good players that ideally we would like to keep continue to leave the club. Surely they are best placed to see the impact of AP's vision for the future of the club? Or are they all just greedy?
The only thing we can measure is what we actually see on the field and Adam has to do more to increase the likelihood of that happening in my view.
Again just my opinion based on what I have observed.
