They got a £500k parachute payment. Sod all investment required last season in SL Someone was calling his investment back,long before the current situation.
Why no response from the other share holders? Because they are puppets awaiting a pay out.

There was a leadership group set up during the first QTR of our SL year, it consisted of Hansen, Drinkwater, Higham & Stewart.

This was the point at which that statement was made and Jukes should have gone then.

In the end KC got sacked not long after we beat Saints and he ended up at Leigh with Derek Stating he needed someone to take his role as Director of Rugby over so he could focus more on his own business.

lessons learned from the middles lasy year as a different more controlled game was needed, this was agreed before KC

Well it wasn't learnt was it because at the beginning of the season we played attacking rugby and won games then kc came in and we didn't win many and got relegated,so it was someone's brainwave to get rid of that team and start a fresh and we all know how that's gone down don't we

Don't disagree I'm just setting the timeline and reasons for the change in systems

Did we really play attacking rugby in those three wins early in the season? Think we got a decent number of tries from prop forwards, then when teams wised up to that we had nothing.

Is it just me , I don't care who was to blame , it's done , as fans , have any of us not had our monies worth in the last 4 years ?

Yes things are poop ATM , well that's just the way it is , people can pontificate till the cows come home trying to apportion blame to this or that person , it won't change a single thing , nor will it most likely stop it from happening again at some point

Just o to the game and support whoever happens to be wearing the shirt this week

If our experience is anything to go by then you'll have people playing the blame game for years to come. Hope you get through this episode and can start to move on soon.

The other shareholders have no power. I assume Derek had total control. With regards to a pay out - who from? Their shares are worthless. No one will buy them. A new investor only need derek’s shares and will have total control. There’s no reason for them to issue a statement. What would they say? It wouldn’t matter what they said as it wouldn’t be important unless they were willing to take over which we can assume isn’t the case as it would have been announced by now.

is This the same cunningham that told micky higham that his son was better than him and he did not have a career left at leigh and his son and Baptiste was better than him but when purts took back control higham come out of retirement and been a good number 2 to hood where are Baptiste and young cunningham now

Do you believe in unicorns

If he does I will sell him one, 1 careful owner, FSH, low mileage .....
& some magic beans !

How can they be powerless? He is the majority shareholder at around 56%..44% he has no control of.

Well Mr Ego certainly aint struggling , he's apparently buying 2 more Lamborghinis & wont pay players .. what a nice chap

I would say that's a much better investment than a rugby club!

Were you born on this planet or just visiting ?

Says you who saud we'd finish top 4 in super league hahaha

I would like to see you quote that post if you can, but you can't because it never happened you prize plonker !

Now run along little boy & dream up some more B.S !

Live at LCRLFC board meeting '' right lets vote on the proposal, all those in favour'' - Derek raises hand. ''Proposal passed''

Hope that helps you understand the meaning of 'powerless' in the boardroom

Dereks business continues to be successful, he will get us to the seasons end and then we will find out whats next - personally I am optimistic

You put it on that nazi banter page after the 1st super league game you liar haha

I call 'YOU' out as being the BILLY LIAR around here, just because you have been butt hurt by Degsy at some point you mistakenly believe you have the devine right to appear on here spreading your malicious untruths.

You really are a very SPECIAL kind of NUMPTY !

There have been 'suggestions' on here that DB is reneging on his promise to ensure we can complete the season. I don't recall having seen anything 'official' that suggests he won't honour that commitment.

YOU are BUTT HURT AS YOU HAVE A TINY MIND AND BELIEVE OWT DIRK SAYS HAHAHA

It's very simple Peter, just prove what you said he said - go ahead we're all waiting

Surely what he does with his money is his choice, presumably at the moment the club don't have the money to pay the players - although to be honest I struggle to see why the club finances stack up so badly. I appreciate that circumstances mean we can't pay next seasons contracts, but with the players we have offloaded I would have thought we would have be flush enough to cover this season
