I think that sums it up perfectly. Yes, the timing of his departure was awful, but we have to ask what caused him to leave the club he was so attached to. As with many departures over the past few years (e.g Brierley, Ridyard, McNally, Hopkins) we have only heard the club's spin on events. As always in life, there are two sides to every story, and we have only been hearing one of them, for some time now. I will never be convinced that we heard a balanced view of young Brierley's departure. Yes, he may have been ambitious - indeed I hope he was/is - but having got to know him a bit, in his time at Leigh, I will never believe that he was the 'villain' he was portrayed to be, leading up to his departure.

Like I say, Paul may not be my cup of tea, personally, but I don't think we have seen a better coach at the club since - especially if he has learned from the Middle 8's disaster of 2016 - and I believe much of that was caused by the pressure of having to finish top of the league, rather than 'pace' the squad for the 8's.

For me Paul has done nowhere near as much damage to the Club as Beaumont, it could take us 10 to 20 years to recover from his egoistic plans, I'm glad to see the back of him , and hope we never see his like again in charge of the Club.
He claims to love and care for the Club, what a load of Coal.

Without his input at the time, where do you think we would be:

a) at the time
b) now

You've started to show a lot of bitterness towards him recently, and that's entirely up to you, he's made poor choices but we have to look forward, blame solves nothing

True, Col, but learning lessons might?

How many other clubs have been in a similar position to throw a six and eventually ended up with SL stability - we threw a 1

And the lesson being ?

Be like Halifax... get into the qualifiers most seasons (take the money from the RFL but spend very little of it) ....then lose every game !

Sounds like 2015

We won one !

So will Halifax

Widnes, maybe.

Bitterness, a resounding Yes,add to that anger as well , I've already said he has ruined the Club I love, whatever he did at the time means nothing now, we could be on the road to oblivion now, he handed out the 2 year contracts, knowing they would be useless if we didn't get into the top 4.
I've said it before,if you take the plaudits you must be prepared to take the brickbats,I would do anything to save the Club, which is why I'm so angry,DB is is on par with the Blackpool lot now,it took many years to recover from them ,and it will be possibly be the same again now, hopefully someone will come in , once he has gone and recusitate the Club, I know it wont happen they won't till he shuts the door.

What happens to the Chairman ??Nothing has been been heard or said about him, very intriguing. Hopefully this answers your questions,at the time is irevalent, now we are in dire straits, I fear for the Club and it's future, I'm sure a fair few others Leythers do the same.

Myself , I will be at Dale on Sunday, at the LSV for the Batley game, and at Dews the week after, how many others will be there?Now that remains to be seen.

At the time , up a creek without a paddle

Now , possibly up a creek without a paddle , but nobody , and I mean nobody except Derek knows for sure , time will tell

In between ? , a lot of excitement , twice involved , twice in the top tier , but perhaps some of the obviously more talented posters on here would like a go , they obviously know all the answers to the ' problem ' that is Leigh RLFC

I'd be careful too what you write on here you'd be surprised who do reads it

Charlie, our debt is to one man who has stated he will write it off if someone comes in with the money to take it forward or if players contracts are too high based on current reality then it folds to rise debt free and he will put 100k into the bank for newco. The chairman, Michael, left last year. Blackpool lot left with deeds to the ground, it got them 750k back, if you see similarities then you live in a strange place. Fwiw I see a decent short term future with a squad challenging for promotion/T4, reason being we will have crowds circa 3000 and great sponsors
