It has been breath taking to see Waikato FC make a saving of over$100.000 dollars in its budget. A budget that has never been seen by its supporters at a AGM in over 4 years.
The sacking of a coach 3 weeks out from the season, seems a little far fetched in that the board and its general manager did not forsee a budget deficit that could not be serviced for the up coming season.
Granted there was a change in the general managers position in May and the putting together of a football budget for the 2008-9 season has proven to be a most arduous and complicated process, (by way of press releases , via the waikato times threw the WFC Board and General Manager).
But here we are in reality and the aceptence that but for the grace of god, we would not have a team from waikato.
It has taken myself and a excecative commitee of one, who responds to the name of tigger a mere 15 minutes to come up a a further cost cutting plan to enable waikato to go to new hieghts in demonstrating best practice- football budget plannning. saving $40-000 grand in one quick and painless stroke for the good of waikato FC.
Replace the General Manager with a volenteer manager.
So there you have it $140.000 grand saved in 7 days.
Well i,m off to save the world, working on a plan to find that missing 7 trillion dollars. maybe its hiding in the Waikato Stadium, with the rest of our 100 supporters from Gods land.
