Lets see what happens,

I know your not having a go Linda we all want the same outcome and I know your as passionate about the club as anyone and have my upmost respect for what you do personally and on behalf of LISA for the club.

You also know how much respect I have for your Steve and believe his diverse thinking and ideas are needed going forward.

If (and it is still an IF at this stage I must stress) I'm part of things going forward I will certainly champion you personally for a major role in a new structure and id love to count on your support as im sure the other guys will feel the same.

Thanks

Andy

Longest takeover in history,at this rate the syrian conflict will be over before anyone takes over at leigh

No he was on the apprentice scheme but they were all made redundant last friday.

That is a shame, hope he finds training and/or employment soon.

Takeover



What takeover?

Fev would be bonkers to go FT in a PT league that has no basis for on field success counting for anything.
The RFL proposals are just that.....proposals.

In terms of Leigh I suppose the players giving 110% effort week in week out has managed to keep the off field stuff out of the limelight (which is exactly how it should be), however the club needs direction and quality leadership if it wants to move forward, I hope things are moving behind the scenes as its been a long time since people started supposedly leaving or moving positions.
Having so few people involved in running a RL club is a bad thing long term, we need a clear understanding of just where this club is heading and what path its currently on as Leigh cannot afford to be left out of any proposals.
We'd need to be a driving force in what happens to our division once the RFL restructuring commences.

Why can't the Leigh centurions community trust Trevors involved with employ Ryan and the others? Anyone know why not?

So were the apprentices part of the Foundation?

So as i understand things correctly, We had an award winning community dept, we didn't commit to said community dept and parted ways.We start a brand new shiny apprentice scheme that has soooooooo much long term development potential for all involved. How long has the apprentice scheme been running for ?. If i have the wrong end of the stick and the community dept and apprentice scheme are not connected and one didn't replace the other then please forgive me as i'm not poop stirring just confused as i thought i read that the apprentice scheme was cheaper to run even though the community dept was run at no cost to the club. I would be very grateful if i could be put straight on this .
P.S Fred this isn't aimed at you i'm just using/quoting your post for anyone who knows to answer.

The community dept was costing the club up to AT s departure, but in March last year a proposal was put to the club for it to operate at nil cash cost from then on ,that offer was declined

As for the apprentice scheme, I assumed it was part of the new Foundation

'Cos I was doing it!

Conspiracy theories abound again??????

Apprentice scheme started some 8 months ago, Community trust founded two weeks ago - all well 'documented'.

Leigh Centurions Community Department closed end of last season - no money-again well 'documented'.

Apprentice scheme closed last friday - no money to pay them - probably.

As for anything else I would suggest contacting Mr Freer as I dont think you will get an answer on here.

Not conspiracies Fred, just confusion, I was genuinely under the impression that the Foundation was an ' evolution ' of the apprentice scheme and would be the organisation that would provide the finances for it , if it isnt, then who is Duffs ' managing ' ?

The community dept, circa 2003/2011 run by Hannah Forbes did bring in a lot of grant funding, but it did cost the club money , how much is open to discussion

Irrelivant now

In truth Keith because of the way the club operates/operated everything goes into one pot and then everything gets paid out, the problem then arrises when there is nothing left and what is seen as either a luxury or unneccessary or unproductive ( in some eyes ) bill has to be paid, then things get confused and complcated

Keith I fail to see why you direct your questions and or statements at me the last time I checked I was just a poor speccy like others, I am just giving out news as I know it the answers you require can be given by one person as in my first reply, like others you mistake my answers as 'sticking up for people' instead of what they are, just statements as I know them.
I stayed away from this forum for a while due to others doing exactly what you are trying to do which is to twist my words and meanings to suit others campaigns, it looks like I will have to do so again.
You more than others know that unfortunately a Rugby Club like Leigh Centurions isn't perfect and that mistakes have always been made no matter who the custodians be. I would suggest if you think or know that any fraud has been committed the people you talk to be the Greater Manchester Police and or The Rugby Football League instead of veiled and not so veiled accusations on an open forum like this one.
People need to put past grudges and or perceived slights behind them and try and take the club forward instead of trying to ground it in old mud it neither assists nor encourages new investment and is damaging to the utmost degree.

So again I leave this forum for a while I will continue to try and make Leigh Centurions into a successful Rugby league club by giving up my time and energies in SUPPORTING ANY FUTURE REGIME no matter whom they be or what mistakes they may make for in the end the only place I'm really bothered about is what goes on on the green bit of the ground and not the politics behind it, petty squabbles and the attempted scoring of political points don't interest me, only the points on the scoreboard by the players be they Internationals or 'ham and eggers'. As for the rest of you go ahead and drown in the sludge of rumours and tickle tackle you are welcome to it. Bye Bye.
.

Is it me or are there some accusations being made on here which are borderline libelous. Some people are not satisfied with trying to remove the people at the top but they clearly want the club to die.

I am joining Fred and leaving what has become a horrible place to inhabit.

I m struggling to understand this accusation, why would me chairman be in a meeting involving the community dept and hear about grants being spent inccorrectly? as far as I know it's untrue as well.

Not impressed with the wording.

Smart logo.

A logo and a strapline, but no actual substance, or havent they made their mind up yet ?

I agree, its the wrong way round , I'd prefer the community back watching Leigh Centurions where they belong
