Titans undertake organisational changes

[Sydney Titans Fanatic]

THE Gold Coast Titans will make changes to their organisational structure and are yet to reach a rental agreement with Centre of Excellence owners Bond University, according to club boss David May.

The university is set to lease at least two levels of the six-floor Robina building to the NRL club but May rejected it would cost the Titans a reported $600,000 a year.

It is certain the Titans will occupy the ground floor -- which includes a state of the art training facility and pools -- and first-floor offices.

It is also possible the club will lease the fourth floor, however May is yet to decide if it will be required given the club is undergoing organisational changes.

May confirmed an annual review was being taken into the football club's performance while the off-field entities will also see changes.

"I've said pretty consistently throughout that we've got to look at the structure of both the administrative side of the club and also the sporting side of the club," he said.

"With regards to the administrative side, we've got to look very closely at that as I've said from the first day I was in the job. We're moving to a much simpler organisation. We don't have a bar (Titanium Bar) or property (Centre of Excellence).

"There's a number of things we don't have any more. We're structured for a group of companies when in fact moving forward, we're just going to be a football club.

"We are looking at it at the moment and I've been consistent with that since we started."

The current set-up of the Titans has the football department housed in the ground and first floors while the fifth floor is home to executives.

The university will take over the top level, which includes former boss Michael Searle's lavish office, and is planning on occupying levels two and three as well.

May, a former marketing guru with iSelect and Jetstar, said a deal had been tabled by Bond but the club was yet to agree to it.

"We're very close in negotiations. I'm hoping to have that wrapped up within a week," he said.

"We haven't agreed to terms but we haven't disagreed on them either.

"We're currently working through with the new landlord who's only owned the building for a week and a half.

"We're coming off level five but I actually quite like that. I'd like us as a club to be working more closely together. The fact we're split over four levels doesn't help that."

I beg to differ. For example our membership department is under resourced.

Under resourced possibly but there has been suggestions of lazy workers cross my ears

Ah well that is another kettle of fish. But we all want passionate people there who care about the club and game dearly. I hope that is the case...

You don't need many staff to manage only 6000 members!

You don't need many staff to manage only 6000 members!

true, but you need extra staff to drive new memberships.

i think from the sounds of things, we may not need to just cut jobs in the CoE, but we need to assess which ones are necessary and which arent, and who needs more staffing, and who needs less.

it could be that the exact number of people we have now is perfect, but they need shuffling into the appropriate divisions to maximise their effectivness and minimise the time wasting.

Surely Tayah Bot is not a real person .. it's sounds like a dole rort.

Interesting that the Lions have all those positions staffed by women, clearly targeted it for a reason.
