Jack's Vision
Accidentally stumbled across this earlier. It came directly after we'd lost 7 on the bounce and released Ian Millward.
"Castleford also announced several changes to their commercial team, with interim chief executive Steve Gill taking the role on a permanent basis and chairman Jack Fulton stating: "I am determined to turn the fortunes of this club around and believe that will happen under the tenure of Steve Gill.
"He is a Castleford man through and through who is dedicated and devoted to leading the club to a bright future."
I think it Could be motivational for both the semi and semi final to have a Jack Fulton banner for our changing room quoting him, along with a brief word from his Son Ian before the games.
Jack knew we could do it. It's time to reconnect with how far we have come and what we went through to get here.
Bless him. RIP Jack. Not only did he bring Steve Gill forward, he identified and brought several highly skilled new Directors in. Do not underestimate our leadership team....we have the best.
I wonder if any talks etc will be done before the big game(s).

I won't lie, I thought Gill's appointment was gonna be a disaster, a cheap option when we needed someone with proven pedigree. I'm so bloody happy I was wrong. The trip to Wembley a couple of years ago was fantastic and this year has just been incredible, with more to come in future seasons I have no doubt. Cheers Jack, you left a wonderful legacy at the Tigers.

Re: Jack's Vision
On a similar track, a friend pointed out on hearing DP had the coaching job that it was a good deal for Cas. He was local therefore no house would be required. Coach on the cheap? Never imagined how it would turn out!
To finish last in the Tour de France, first you must finish.
Re: Jack's Vision
I must admit, I was pro Stuart Raper, even speaking to Him about it
I wasn't overly excited about DP.
In future years we may look back on Daryl's appointment as the point when our club began a dynasty :hand: :pray:

Re: Jack's Vision
For me the change occurred when the penny dropped for Jack when he realized you need more than one person running a sports club. This resulted in the removal of the lovable Richard Wright (the one man show), the appointment of Steve Gill and the installation of a coaching team headed by Darryl Powell.
All the new appointments appear to have worked together with the available resources to not only slowly build a team but to also improve the available resources.
It may be the blueprint for running a rugby club but I'm not sure I want others to follow too closely!

Re: Jack's Vision
Like a few on this Board at the time I thought Gills appointment was a cheap option instead of appointing an experienced CEO but I am glad it has worked out. Same with DP i thought it was a gamble but he proved me wrong.
But I am glad that I and others on here were proved right with our campaign to get rid of Richard Wright. At the time we and got absolutely slammed by posters on here saying that we were not true supporters and we should always support the Board.

Re: Jack's Vision
I too thought Gill was a gamble/cheap option. But I was always happy with Powell. I wanted him instead of Basil. What DP had done wth Leeds and Fev made me think he would be alright and he is better than that.

Re: Jack's Vision
I recall getting an insight in to how DP worked over a 2 year period and I can remember telling a few Fev fans that DP will end up at Cas and go on to be a success. I can tell you they disagreed in a way thst isnt repeatable.
He was/is different gravy and Sheridan was the icing on tbe cake. I used to watch and listen for ages and tgey way the dealt with people was what I was impressed with.

Re: Jack's Vision
I daught when he loaned funds to make up for the board at the time what turned out to be poor decisions and a major short fall between sky money and the salary cap that the new generation of the Fulton family would want to make a profit by charging interest on the Fulton loan. COYF
