David Moore’s job as Bermuda head coach is safe for now, said new Bermuda Cricket Board president Lloyd Fray.Two weeks into his new role and Fray is discovering the severity of BCB’s current financial state but he said he had no plans to dispense with the services of Moore, nor chief executive Neil Speight.Fray said both men were ‘crucial’ to the Island’s future and his plan to turn the game around. However, he acknowledged that a turbulent economy meant no one’s job was entirely safe.“We will always do the checks and balances, no-one job’s is safe, including mine at BTC,” he said. “I would say, it (the financial position) is bad and we will have to evaluate as things unfold.“That process is ongoing but we have this strategy, and we know the roles that are going to help us achieve the strategy, which we can’t achieve if we don’t have good and proper resources.“People like Neil (Speight), people like David Moore, people like Fiona Holmes, Sam Robinson, they’re crucial, and most of them are wearing many hats.“I want everyone to understand, it’s important to understand that these people are in a capacity, not just from an ICC standpoint and the criteria we have to meet, but they are working their butts off.”With the Board facing an uncertain future over its Government funding, Fray and Speight have been searching for corporate sponsors willing to back their vision for the development of the game.“It is tough out there, although they (businesses) are talking with us, there are some saying ‘please, come back’,” said Fray. “We’ve made some pretty good traction in the last two weeks, nothing on the dotted line as yet, but some very close.“I can tell you from BTC, sponsorship isn’t the same, revenues are going the wrong way for everybody. You have to do the balancing act, things are a little rough now but we are working towards long term.”In a results orinteted business, Bermuda’s record of 28 defeats in 41 matches might have had Moore looking over his shoulder. However, Fray said the Australian had been brought in to help transform the game at grass roots level and that he wanted this to be Moore’s main focus in the near future.The hope is that the long term strategy of developing the game at the grass roots level will ultimately allow the national team to compete at the highest level once again.“Results in international cricket are the ultimate measure (of success),” said Fray. “We set an expectation (by reaching the World Cup), we have to get back there. It was a major achievement but we didn’t have the process set to get us there again.“David is very crucial to assisting the national programme to get us to the levels that we fell from but also important in what we need to do in the development stage.“I was chairman of the committee that hired David and we wanted someone who can get down to grassroots level because development is really where we wanted to park this. We knew where national (cricket) was going at that time too, and it wasn’t pretty. But we wanted someone to assist us on the creation and development side.”Still, Fray knows that things can change and he said he and Moore had already talked about the future and what might happen if the Board’s funding troubles continued.“I want him (David) to get more involved in the schools, visit the clubs more, get to them to assist them, even if it’s just for a couple of hours to get some of the coaching going, because we need to start somewhere.“He is critical to this as well. But, again, if funding is not there then we have to review these things, and David’s not a stupid person, he’s a smart guy and he and I have had this discussion. It is quite possible, quite possible that it (his job) may be (under threat).“But at this stage of the game it’s business as normal and we’ll try and get the funding as much as we can. If those results are not good, obviously we’ll need to have other discussions, other reviews, just like any business.”n Tomorrow, eight years of pain ahead says Fray.
