Quote ="Mr Northstander"When a business does this type of thing it holds a meeting of all potential investors and at that meeting they appoint an interim management team, normally 2-3 people to manage the flotation.
When that has happened , the club has floated then they advertise the management postions and interview on behalf of the shareholders.
At the first shareholder meeting, the shareholders approve the recommendations from the interim management and then the new team takes over and runs the club going forward.
Leigh Centurions needs new management, ideas a fresh drive and to be managed properly without going from crisis to crisis like it does. New brush sweeps clean and that is what is needed.
There is a lot of good young management talent out there. With a flotation and structuring the debt the club stands a winning chance rather than where it is today with its current clueless management who are out of their depth!
Does that answer your question?'"
Sorry mate but you are way off the mark here.
Firstly there is not a snowball in Hell's chance that you could float a business like this on the public markets.
Secondly any potential investor wants to know what the management team is BEFORE they make the investment.
Thirdly no-one who invests in a Sports Club below the absolute elite does so with the expectation of making a profit so the only potential investor pool is people with an affinity to either Leigh or Rugby League in general.
I could go on with questions as to what capacity do "potential" investors have to implement management changes, who will pay the Interim Management Team whilst the funding is raised, why would management report to a shareholders' meeting etc but there is a match on tonight and by the time I had finished I would miss kick off.
We are in a difficult position due to both internal and external factors and everyone accepts that major changes need to be made but some of the drivel being spouted on here makes me glad I have always avoided the temptation to get officially involved with Leigh RL and if I feel that way then I am sure many others do.
My suggestion - let's all do what we can to generate incremental revenues for the club; alongside this any sensible ideas should be proposed to the existing Board and perhaps they will call a meeting of fans when we are not on the brink of a problem to have a proactive debate on how we move forward.
In the meantime I'm off home for some tea before the match.
COME ON YOU LEYTHERS!!!
yeah, that'll pack 'em in
