But aren't most managers generally like that?

Tell me Iain what part of SALARY CAP do you not understand?

=========================================
Dont use that owd line with me Fred SALARY CAP
How come Gateshead--Shefield, Barrow, Halifax, Widnes ect ect ect
all have salary cap but much better classs of player and in the case of
GATESHEAD n Sheffield they are still signing class players
THATS THE PART I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW GATESHEAD can keep on signing when there crowds are poor
SALARY CAP












RL IS BENT I SAY BENT

Got to agree there the only thing is if these sides have gone sh*t or bust this season they can't continue this recruitment next so as long as we don't go down we'll be top of the tree next season simples!

===============================================Watson played well so far player of the season MADO waste of a shirt
Stewart.waste of a shirt.... Donlan done nothing Nanyn ok
Alstead ok Smith playing in wrong position.. Jock played too much RL
needs a long rest.. Armi unfit... Hobbo nuts but a good player
Regarding playing well in the 21,s you have to get real we are playing second rate teams in the 21,s and to be honest there is only a couple of stand out players who i personally think are good enough to step up every now n again .......
This season we have recruited very poor brought in players in the backs without pace and forwards who are weak and not strong enough to turn players and break the line ect out of the present first team squad i think only 6 have played owt like thats not very good out of a squad of 20 odd
players....

The truth is hard to comprehend at times.

While i would like to see Leigh do well, your miles behind on the recruitment and Millward is no longer familiar with this division. When he arrives he will have one hell of a tough job on his hands.


Second comings arent always great.

2006 should of been a great year for us, newly relegated from SL we had an outstanding opportunity present itself and TBF - IMO the club worked hard behind the scenes to make the most of it.

* Automatic promotion up for grabs,

* A surplus of SKY cash,

* A more more professional ethic adopted from the previous 12 months,

* A F/T Chief Exec

* The deadwood cleared from both the coaching and playing register,

* An excellent off season player recruitment,combining an exciting blend of youth, experience and class,

* A F/T squad assembled that was in many observers eyes one of the best two outside SL,

However the final last piece of the jigsaw, that vital all important cog was then IMO either overlooked or not recognised.

* A proven experienced coach who could execute it all



And we are now where we are but as I'm sure some would say, I suppose hindsight is a marvellous thing..

But did a proven experienced coach apply for the job ?

er no

I'm not talking Tommy Martyn here either,

And anyway if we were going to down the road of a young, up & coming coach,one had just proven outstanding promise and shown great credentials by taking a relative unknown squad of players in France to within 80 mins of The 2005 Challenge Cup Final.

He then delivered SL status the following year IIRC

Mr Morgan

We spoke to him in 2005 when they played in the cup at Blackpool along with Tommy Gallagher , but a deal had already been done earlier in the year

==============================================
The truth is out there...Trust no one
They live amongst us
X FILES
Or in the case of Richard Lewis..
The truth is no where--Trust me i wont lie
Sporting Village..Whats that all about..Dont know what ur on about
Leigh they play at a substandard ground Hilton Park

Ah VM, but he's familiar with the NRL! This seasons' shambles is a cunning plan, to get the RFL to grant Leigh 'development' status, in 2010, so that we too can have ten top grade NRL players, three NZ internationals, four Fijians, 6 Papua New Guineans........(and one 'token' Welshman)

all i an say is,good job ive took time out recovering from illness,simple fact with this club and its always been the same,too many loyalties to people in the club,too many back handers n penny pinchers and complete n utter bad management all around,things started going wrong in this club when mike callahan n that got sacked and certain directors are still in the club who will only go if they get there money back

Will they ?

Are you sure ?

Name and shame

At the moment there are 3 directors at the club who were there when Mike RESIGNED

MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


Has a point!

We could always play Kolpaks like certain other co-op clubs do.............

I hope you are feeling better but I honestly can,t see how any director past or present can stay put just in the hope they,d get their money back.

You can,t invest in any Championship club and expect a return on your money. Seems to me if you put in a few bob it,s because you care but what do I know ?

You Frank

Very astute

Strong accuisations there WC are they true?

No director can serioursly expect their money back. 2009 is now a completely different set of circumstances than 2003 especially with P&R now abolished. Quite simply 1 share today is not worth a fraction of the £7.5k paid back then.

Darren Abram

lets see now wasn't he the coach who finally took us to Super League and then paid the price because all the good players had been signed up to other clubs.the poor guy never stood a chance.I for one will always be grateful to him for giving us our Season in the sun.

I too am grateful but if he would of listened to others advice and comunicated better perhaps he and we together could maybe of still been in SL and done a HKR???? We'll never know.

Lets move on.

Ian Millwards Red and White Army!!!!

Do you mean we should have accepted that we were coming back down and planned accordingly

Recruiting players to get experience in SL but be in a strong position to bounce back again in 2006 with Mr Abram as the coach ?
