The Board of the Gold Coast SUNS has signed off on a full review of the Football Department to be conducted over the coming weeks.

The review will be overseen by Marcus Ashcroft, General Manager of Football Operations, who will report back to the Board.

Chairman of the Gold Coast SUNS, Mr John Witheriff, said that the Board wanted a full review of all elements of the Football Department following a disappointing finish to the season.

The Board expects the review to look at every element of the Football Department, including:

Coaching

High performance

Welfare and administration

List management and recruitment

The Academy and 2nd Tier competition

Mr. Witheriff said that the Club had a lot to be proud of this year, with increases in crowds, membership, sponsorship and corporate hospitality.

“Members and supporters of the Gold Coast SUNS had a lot to be excited about this year, but we had a disappointing finish on the field,” Mr Witheriff said

“The football team has delivered great wins this season on the field, and we are keen as a club to take the next step towards greater success.

“The football review announced by the Board will assist in making decisions about season 2015.

“As a young club we should be very proud, but our members and the Gold Coast community deserve to see us aiming higher every year. This review will give us the information we need to make the right decisions.”



Mr. Witheriff said that the Board will receive the outcomes of the review at a Board meeting during the week commencing 29th September.
