Bye,bye Derek. https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2018/07/2 ... atement-2/

WOW Looks like Charlie was wrong

Sad times for Leigh. I hope you secure investors for 2019, Rugby League needs clubs like Leigh to be financially stable.

Thanks for the memories Derek. So sad to see this happen but I will still be there in the north stand cheering my team on as I have done for the last sixty odd years

I would be very annoyed with Beaumont at the moment if I was a Leigh fan. He's basically treated Leigh like a toy and discarded it because he's had enough. I really hope you guys find an owner you deserve and build some solid foundations to enable you to have another crack at SL.

It was inevitable, delayed decisions and haphazard recruitment, the league table doesn’t lie.

Thanks for the ride Derek, we must gather the remnants and start again.

Very true Mick,I really thought Derek would have stayed,shows you what I know,it was always on the cards,but I thought he may have toughed it out with the rest of us,I know I will be there on Sunday and next season with my season ticket.
For me the blame lies with Derek, the players, Jukesy, and the Coaching Staff in that order, Derek signed these players on inflated contracts,the said players werent up to the level needed,Jukesy had a terrible start, again Derek's fault for not getting shut sooner and the Coaching Staff ,well you only have to watch our last 2 games,not 1 player able to tactically kick.
Indeed it's a sad day,we have been here before,we need the fans to stay loyal,we all are hurting right now, but remember the Alamo.

Charlie I know true supporters like yourself will see Leigh through their current difficulties I take no pleasure in it as we at Fax have known Financial problems too many times.

I know that Mick,

I sincerely hope Fax do well in the coming 8s, may even venture down to the Shay to watch, depending on the Leigh fixtures.

Told you all months ago he jacked and was pestered to come back as soon as heart not in it should of stayed away then

The strange thing is Leigh are not 100% out of top four contention yet. Why not wait until Sunday teatime? Strange things happen, I just hope if it did it dosen't involve Fax.

Very sorry for all you Leigh fans. We were in an even worse position not too long ago and know just what you are going through. Really hope a new owner can be found to take you forward.

Absolutely no sympathy for Beaumont. He came over as a big headed loud mouth. Seems he is just another successful business man who loses his rational thinking when making decisions about the club he loves. Football and rugby have seen too many of those over the years.

Transfer deadline would have passed by then so it would have been too late to reduce the wage bill.

As a Bradford fan I just want you Leigh fans to know that you have my sympathies. It hurts to see the club you love go through this but just know that it got as bad as it can ever get for Bradford and we're still here, so it's not all doom and gloom.

Not the first time we've been here and may not be the last. All we can do is buy the tickets, attend and sing. It's what the North Stand if for.

Spot on

I have looked at the crowds Bradford have been getting recently and they are impressive, I think it was 6,000 for the York game,so it shows keep the faith .
I think we should look at Bradford as an example of what can be achieved,it's now important to get someone to take over then get a Coach and players who want to do well for the Club, not just for cash,it can be done.

Agree totally, Derek is History now , let's move on,back the lads that want to play for the Club,and do what the LSV does best, turn up in numbers and support the Club.

Bang or Bust and that was never a way to run the club.

All those people who said that once Arthur Thomas passed away the club should never be allowed into the hands of one person again where absolutely correct.

You will get through this lads, come on you Leythers and Up the Fax.

You Leythers will be fine. The true supporters will stay and support regardless of what happens, after all you've been here before (haven't we all). The 'glory hunters' may disappear but I don't class them as die hard supporters. You've every reason to be pi**ed off with DB and some of his decisions but you have also had a great ride over a the last few seasons that a number of Championship clubs wish that they could have had. Fax have been there on many occasions so you have my sympathy, but many of you have tasted it before and know how bitter it is.

I wish you all the best and I know that Leigh RLFC will come through it and come out of the other end in a good place. You won't be the last club go go through this.

When I was an RL fan I used to love Leigh, the passion and hatred(good natured) shown when I visited HP a couple of times is what sporting rivalry is all about.
Best wishes for the future, RL isn't all about Super League imo and im sure you guys will come back stronger & more sustainable

Regards Peter.

Bye Derek - must add Thanks- but so many underachievers!
Next job - stay out of League 2???

Pretty much sums it up LLHKRF. Very poor management on various levels (starting at the top) since Rowley left. I think we all saw it coming and watched it unfold month by month since Jukes took charge. If only big mouth Beaumont had found the courage to do the right thing, at the right time.

The season isn't over yet, embarrassing for some if they reach the 8's...

We won’t make 8s we struggling for a side for Sheffield might just get a team together

If true Monty, an even bigger insult to the fans -- to QUIT before it's mathematically over.

This constant nonsense being spouted in the media about loyalty to Jukes, loyalty to Cunningham, loyalty to players to pay them off big or let them find new clubs. WHAT ABOUT LOYALTY TO THE FANS, the club, the history and the future?

This stinks of a child wanting to be liked to boost an incredibly low self-esteem. I'll pay you crazy money on a long-term deal if you like me! Using the club as a vehicle to get emotional needs met in other words. It's an absolute car crash what we're witnessing.

What a squad we had last year, with many players now performing way above last years incredibly inept coaching level.

Fingers crossed HRJ wins the Euro on Friday, as now we really need it!

shouldn't that be WE ?
