Steve Gill saved the club, he made the choice to sign Powell , The previous CEO, Ferris wanted to take the club into admin, what would have been the end of Cas due to the value of assets we had, what would have been sold to pay the creditors, Gill changed everything, The feel good factor came back, and he was loved by most of our fans. That went POP when a drug addict who Cas gave a chance to resurrect his career destroyed the togetherness in the Dressing room, by taking drugs, and getting banned just before the Grand Final. Gill did the right thing, and the buzz what we had under his guardianship has gone, the people doing his job are mainly anonymous.

Steve is history now and it is always easy to judge with hindsight.
I met him once when l registered a complaint and he seemed a personable chap.
Although l thought perhaps the matter could have been delegated.
I did however come to the conclusion that there seemed to be a lack of organisation and professional.
Which seems still to be the case.
I feel now as then we as supporters were taken for granted.
Might work to an extent but not the way to attract future support or sponsorship.
Not living in Cas and without being itk.
He seemed like the right man at the time.
His appointment coincided with an upturn in the clubs fortunes.
Don't remember to many arguing against his appointment at the time.

Maybe because he can and no one will question it.

I doubt he will be rewarding himself a bonus this year or next!

Can i ask how you know he gave himself a 20k bonus and did anyone else get a bonus?

Im sure there would of been a few bonuses handed out the season we won the league did we make a profit that year?

Not aimed at you OCL, more the person making the claim. I wondered how they would know such a personal thing?

So, a Mark Grattan allegedly paid himself a bonus in 2017, yet your moaning that the money could’ve been used half way through 2020 to get Niall Evalds early??? FML...🙈🙈

Probably still quite passionate about Cas. Can take the bloke out of Cas but can't take the Cas out of the bloke.

Respectively speaking no doubt SG made some mistakes but 1 things for sure he absolutely loves /loved the club. In his veins

My mistake. What role does Davide Longo have at Fev then? I thought he was C.E.O!

You answered your own question. He's in charge of our finances and has turned this club around. I've no objection to staff being rewarded, particularly when you look at the salaries Cas offer.
