Make your mind up!
Do you know interest is being shown or not.Tittle tattle down the wash house isn't relevant or positive information.Like most all of your posts you know jack.
The only thing you have done, on a regular basis, is slag players and owner off.Seriously doubt any postings on here would put anyone off if it did we would not want them anywhere near.This place has declined in posters and relevance.
As a self confessed wiggin lover your time would be better spent elsewhere and you could take one or two others with you.
Its tragic,frustrating and annoying that the club finds itself in this position again.The forum has, in the last couple of weeks, attracted the mix of usual suspects with axes to grind old grievances to air,real, imagined, or made up,persons gloating on the car crash and some genuine posters,visitors, who have been through the same thing and wish us the best.
Its clear RL has major issues, they will come to a head.Locally, lets wait and see.Beaumont will have an exit strategy which we may or may not like.

Well 4 posts in I'm not too sure how much you know of the historical posters and threads on this forum - but welcome aboard.

For me, everyone (within reason) is welcome on here. Not sure having a go at a specific individual (especially one who seem Leigh through and through to me) is the best way forward, but enjoy the ride

Quite right Col. Charlie has been a poster on here, whose views and opinions are respected by folk who know him. He is also a genuine Leyther, who has gone the extra mile to raise much needed funds, when times have been desperate before - and I'm sure he would again. Also, he is an individual, who is just as entitled to post his opinion as the next person. I believe we should all accept that!

Said the pot to the kettle.

I'm sure DB has a much better exit strategy than his coach and recruitment strategy.

Let's hope so

Wow, it seems you THINK you know me?Maybe you DO

,however you certainly won't intimidate me, better than you have tried and failed.As for being a Wiggin lover as you put it,95% of my Family are Wiganers so yes I do love them,though NOT the Warriors of course.

The rubbish I post on here is just as good as the rubbish you post on here,just a matter of opinion,if you don't like or disagree with my opinions TOUGH,like it or lump it, I bear no malice.Charles.xxx.

Well said Ian. After looking at his/her first 5 letters of their username, I would say go to hell.

You do yourself an injustice Charlie, your rubbish is in a class of its own and surpasses the feeble efforts of others.

Keep it coming.

Cheers Derek.

Thank you Reffy.

Thanks Alan, you know me well, always ready to help my beloved Centurions.

I just hope that the powers that be let the vast majority of investors (us) know as soon as possible as and when there are developments.

Just one of the reasons you have my respect, Ian.

I'm not sure that was a compliment

Charlie knows. Lol

Col, I think even you know I mean no malice, I do love Leigh Centurions dearly.

If Charlie chats rubbish I’m sure, even though we probably don’t think it, most of the rest of us are in the same boat, but that’s our right.
So chat on Charlie, we all know!

In his initial statement, on 25 July, did our owner not promise a 'more detailed statement at the beginning of next week?' (i.e. the beginning of this week) https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2018/07/2 ... atement-2/ I note Harold's earlier explanation that he is waiting for the new structure to be announced - although goodness knows how that will impact on us, now, or when it is likely to occur! In a similar vein, we announced the signing of Brendan Elliott and another overseas' player, immediately before the initial statement of doom from our owner. Surely the club had an inkling then, that all may not have been well, and may have been better served not to make the announcement of signings? We seem to be very good at announcing positive news (and that's great) but less so at announcing the not-so-positive news. Meanwhile the rumour mill goes into overdrive! Personally, I would welcome a further statement on our situation.

Ralph Rimmer stated in his interview " Its not all about the structure" It's about putting things in place that take the game forward to 2021. As I stated in another thread, I assume that will see a return to licensing now rather than 2022. Clubs not meeting the criteria now, have three years to meet it. I would imagine the current deliberation which would concern Toronto and Toulouse, as in what criteria should be set in order to protect them along with SL Clubs who also don't meet the proposed criteria at present.

Then, perhaps our owner could say just that? Surely, the RFL future deliberations were relevant, when our initial statement was made? Also, I can't see the future of the Game, being announced any time soon.

Best to just leave all speculation and rumours in the bin until something ' concrete ' comes to the fore , we have a match to attend next week , Sheffield again so hopefully another enjoyable game

Derek will let us know in good time

How can he? Surely, you aware of a possible structure change? As is he. The new signing was also reported on the official website,would you like another statement to show why thats failed? Or can't you see why it's failed?

Yes, I/we can see. So you reckon he can't say why his announcement is delayed. I don't see why not. However, publicity/PR is all about telling people things, rather than letting them guess. He made the statement saying that he would tell us more 'early next week.' He hasn't done that. Do you think that the future structure announcement is imminent? If so, can he not say whey his promised announcement has been delayed?

And yes, the 'new signing' was announced on the official website. That's my whole point - it obviously didn't happen, but nothing was said. As a club, we don't communicate all that well - in fact, when the news is 'negative', we tend not to communicate at all.

Spot on Alan.. As usual.

Why say an announcement will be made on Monday, then not make one. You could just say an announcement will be made in 'due course'

However, contrary to Atomic's view, I do not believe Derek wants out. Just that the level of investment required from him to maintain the current squad next year makes it 'untenable' from him alone. A substantial amount of future expenditure has since been removed from the wage bill.

The structure and more specifically a clear pathway in to SL for ambitious championship clubs will be the key driver.
