Congratulations John!
From the Eagles:
The Board of Sheffield Eagles has announced a restructuring of
senior leadership positions focussed on addressing the
challenges faced by the club over the past 15 months and aimed
at addressing poor results and performances in the men’s team
ahead of the 2026 season.
As highlighted at the recent fans forum, the need for the club
to move to a more financially sustainable model and reduce the
reliance that it has on benefactors is a key priority and,
starting immediately, John Whaling has been engaged as Director
of Commercial Operations with the brief of significantly
increasing the club’s commercial income and identifying areas of
saving and efficiency to reduce costs.
John was one of the founding directors of the post-merger
Sheffield Eagles, prior to which he was a long-time supporter of
the club. He was elected RFL President between 2011/12 and also
previously acted as a trustee of what we now know as the Eagles
Foundation. More recently, John has been working with Rotherham
Titans in a similar commercial role, which has seen the Titans
and the Titans Foundation see a significant increase in revenue
and efficiency

What does that mean for our club commercially?

John is quoted as saying he will still be involved with the
Titans in some way so hopefully disruption will be minimal?

John said in the Whatsap group that he will slit his time
between the two clubs with Travis Gordon and another coming in
to work when he is not there.
