Essex Outfielder : The Unofficial Essex CCC Forum

DM- thanks for the update.
My perception is that the club is complacent, off the field (which ultimately affects on field performance) there is a lack of drive to improve.

Aside from ground re-development, where once again, there are no definite timelines, what is the club doing to encourage children to attend matches? Did you see how few children there were in attendance at the current game? In the school holidays!

I sense the club is drifting with no strategy.

Convince me I'm wrong.

Quite maybe Daren can push for change. We are back to the east/Hilliard/Grayson says it feels a bit ( although not yet as bad on the pitch) Off the field incompetence and drift reflected in a coach being allowed to underperform for years. It took Ronnie and JF to shake things up and then Stan as well and Bowden to an extent. They held people to account didn't accept crap and got things done and drove change. The guys in charge now is somewhat out of his depth.

Yes we have no money due to greedy chancers and a KC who got so far due to DEI only who fleeced is, but no excuse for the drift and little things.

So Das is on a career break. The same as female staff who used to go on a five-year career break. Which should have re-titled resignation.

Men can take 5 year career breaks too - I know several who did whilst their wives went back to work after having a baby.

Well they don't manage do they?! They're both broke and badly managed.

So are Essex.

The club just need to admit they have no interest in outground cricket.

Despite flogging a book about Essex outgrounds 

The outground excuses don't wash.

Middlesex & Sussex don't have the proverbial pot to urinate in but they manage.
