Quote ="Leythersteve"Well the seasons pear shaped already. Players seemingly unfit. Uninterested. Coaches clueless. All of them. Fans arguing amongs ourselves. Everyones given up Dereks insulting the paying public and is allegedely leaving. Well. I think that the situation needs grasping. Before its too late. We need Dereks help. One way or the other so. I feel the way forward is to get a fan consortium to hold talks with Derek to find out the solution. Does he stay? Can he find a mate to buy in? The good doc etc. This needs starting soon. Unfortunately I'm not in a position as I am still in hospital with this damned brain tumour but if was fit would be there. Come on Leythers pull together. Before its too late'"
Leythersteve, your current health situation puts everything into perspective re Leigh. I sincerely hope that you get well soon. Your good health is everything and worth more than any amount of money.
Derek has clearly lost his way re Leigh. His abuse of the fans is a big mistake. He is burning bridges wherever he goes re Leigh. Narcissistic people like him rarely show humility and admit to mistakes. They think that only they know best, and they don't listen to good advice. They take praise at every turn it is available and blame others when things go wrong. Derek will view the fans' opinions and advice as not worthy of his time. Power corrupts.
