| There are two seperate issues here that make the club look totally unprofessional. Not only Mason's sacking but the signing of Kopczak. Also add to this other poor decisions such as the Brett Hodgson leaving fiasco and the whole joke with Nathan Brown last season then it is very clear this club is been managed in a disastorous fashion.

Shame, innit? Hope Ferguson goes well for you next year- he left us for the Huddersfield Vultures when we went bust

| How funny that Wakey and bulls fans come on here to have a dig about financial issues! Bulls chairman is about as unprofessional as they come going by his twitter account- and Wakey have enough CCJs filed against them they could use them to keep their stadium in toilet paper for a whole season.... Which would make a pleasant change.

| Okay. Three words....
Legal Expense Insurance.
I refer to the post I wrote earlier in the thread. This case will have been underwritten by a policy.

I think you misunderstand, its NOT the financial aspects of this sorry affair that carry most significance. Its the fact that the Giants have been shown to be underhand, lacking in ethics and morality, duplicitous, two-faced - call it as you will. The fact that the court case confirms Bradfords suspicions that he was tapped up, and that the RFL apparently knew and kept quiet about it exacerbate the stink around this whole sorry affair, and the fact that the Giants constructed a cack-handed excuse to sack him is beyond the pale.
All in all, the financial ramifications will be short lived, its the stain on your clubs reputation that will be harder to clear.

Does it cover willful disregard of the law?
The money is the least of your worries, apart from its affect on your cap for the next year or two.

| I have no doubt insurance will cover it but I partially agre with the wakey fan in that the whole shambles is shocking news and Thewlis should be dismissed as the MD or relegated to a much junior position in the business sorry its harsh but remember its a business folks !

| Who gives a toss. It's not like anyone likes us anyway.
We killed Sheffield
We killed Paris
We ruthlessly crushed the dreams of Dewsbury and Hunslet to preserve our Superleague status
We have no crowds
We sign young players from Castleford to keep ourselves alive rather than develop our own
Ken Davy is a financial vampire who crippled Town to fuel his ambitions for the Giants
This court case won't make a blind bit of difference to anyone. The haters will hate whatever happens. They can all rot in hell for all I care.

| It doesn't, it covers you via an insurance company who assess your claim and allow you to pay a premium for them to underwrite your case. Most cases can be brokered - as I said in an earlier post the premium forms where you offer the out of court settlement. So if the premium was 50k you may offer Ā£55k out of court, ie the premium plus the court costs for 2 days in court. It's up to the claimant to accept OOC or choose to have a day in court, either way it costs Giants Ā£50k + Pre insurance fees.
Your team not paying inland revenue cannot be insured against, because nobody in the industry will insurance against the Government because you don't win.

| Were the giants relying on Thewlis to buy this insurance? Hope he remembered.

Did you offer an OOC settlement?
I've got a policy for my house contents, but if I don't follow due diligence (ie lock my door and turn the burglar alarm on) it wouldn't pay up if I was burgled. Insurance companies are THE experts when it comes to not paying out (after us, of course....there, I beat you to it)!

Confirmed Bradford suspicions? I think you'll find those were confirmed when we had to pay them compensation!
A Wakey fan wittering on about reputation- seriously I actually did laugh out loud when I saw that comment.
CCJs, breaches of cap, failure to deliver on new stadium promises, administration, crowd trouble....again.... How much is that suspended fine by the way....
Yep the giants will have such a tarnished reputation....
