| Quote ="Harold Rigby Jnr"But when 5 Super League clubs start a bidding war for a prized asset, it does give you stronger leverage.
Let's just see. Whilst inevitably we will need to streamline operations next season, Derek simply does not invest over £1 million of his own money to just walk away from the club he loves and supported from a young boy.
I saw him and Dr Marwen just after the hooter and whilst he must be hurting inside, like all of us , he did not strike me as someone just about to throw in the towel just yet. Not IMO.'"
What happened to the SL season? They met the required attendance and more to only break even. I would say money back on that season. 500k parachute payment plus top central funding. As a fan I'm asking questions?

Think you know the answer to that - although we would be £1/2 mill better off
Unfortunately we have to cut back where we have the choice to do so

Christ, with all these players being snapped up by SL you'd think we had a decent team
Let's hope the fans turn up in droves on Sunday to show their support. In fact, if they bring their boots they might get a game at this rate

| Looks like every player is up for sale if the price is right. Heard a rumour on Friday that if we didn't make the playoffs on Sunday the club would go into liquidation. Hopefully that was only a rumour, but it appears now that it might not be. Very sad times I feel.

Let's just wait and see what team we turn out this week end, before all the doom mongering,maybe a few leave ,it's expected,but hopefully we will see a good Leigh team on Sunday.

well you'd like to think the players owe us something, and there's still another 8 weeks to go after that. Offload a few no doubt, but you'd expect pride in the shirt for anybody who pulls it on

| With all these Players 'allegedly' leaving, I wonder how many of them had already been offered alternative employment? Certainly, the attitude of the players on Sunday left me wondering how much desire they had for our club and, may explain our weak defensive performance too

Central funding:
2017 - Promotion to SL - £1.7 Million
2018 - Relegation to Championship - £1.2 Million
2019 - From Finishing 6th in Championship - In reality c£0.00 give or take a few k.
Quite simply put, finishing 5th or 6th was not accrued in the budget when awarding this team of 'NRL and SL superstars' 2 year contracts to the end of 2019. We are now where we are, off loading the wage bill to a more sustainable level.

Have no problem with the fact that we are downsizing, and no problem with supporting a part time team next year. In fact, quite looking forward to the prospect of supporting a team looking to upset the odds, and less of a circus around the club in general.
However, it would appear that Plan B hasn't really been planned. Derek says he's committed to seeing the season out, but who will play for the rest of the season?

| Have to admit, I expected 2 or 3, maybe even 4 or 5 to go this week. Fact that all have been asked to look for another club suggests that all is not right for paying this season's wages, let alone next season's.
Disgraceful mismanagement of the club.
