Firstly, thanks for taking the club on, and the best of luck.

Secondly, you need the fans on side.

With this in mind, I think you need to be forthcoming with a full and frank explanation of the "tax legacy".

Without one, I can assure you that people will be sceptical of the make up of the new board, and the town rumour mill will do all the talking.

Anyone agree with the above? Say so below....

Goes without saying.

An indepth statement would be welcome.

Sick of hearing the word LEGACY

Pretty much spot on.

As the last month or so has shown if information is not forthcoming people will fill the blanks in themselves.

Fully agree.

If the new board want any form of credibility they need to act now and answer those awkward questions that will not go away.

Come on directors, everyone wants to give you all a chance, but do the decent thing now and put the rumour mill to bed..........or do you savour the prospect of face to face confrontations at Cougar Park???

If you google Legacy Tax Debt using uk pages, 3 of the sites on the first page are to do with us.

Have Keighley Cougars invented a new piece of terminology?

I'm pretty certain that I know where this thing originates from.

It's all in the public domain if you have a bit of a root around and do some maths.

However I'll give the new board the opportunity to comment on it first.

If they don't then I'll share my theory.

A J I agree with you it would be great to get the facts before the Hunslet Knights game otherwise folk like me will get more wound up, and could help heal wounds.

Fully agree.

Its time for someone to come out and tell us what the hell has gone on and what is going to happen in the future.

Wow. AJ, Girl power, and guess who all agreeing on something.

Dont worry it wont last long

Well it is christmas

Not for long

I like the sound of that......



I do hope they invite folk down and answer all the questions first though..

Yep I'll bring my German Shepherd and Rhodesian Ridgeback with me just in case I get "approached" in the toilets.

It wasn't in the bogs - it was in Exec suite upstairs.... I was bursting for a pee when I left

It's OK, my dogs don't mind slumming it.

I'll meet with you and your dogs when the forum is held... if thats ok?

I almost - just almost - got exited about the new board until I read the Sodfather had a retained a seat on it!!!! How the hell has that happened - or been allowed to happen. Some people have no sense of shame.

I am not saying the boom and bust journey from "Feel good Factor" to "Cougars Aministration Confirmed" has been taking the P*** but:

(The Inland Revenue) is an anogram of (Handle Urine Event)

Can't really blame them though - nobody likes paying taxes, but we all have to.... and it has been owed and accruing interest for many years.

Its nearly the new year and still no statement from the former chairman which whilst not suprising is a disgrace.

Lets assume for one minute payment was made regularly to the taxman up to the non payment period of say for arguments sake December, this would mean that the bill of £180k was larger to start with so how the hell did it happen.

I think the ego of Mr Spencer must be big because there does not seem to be any remorse that I am aware of, it puzzles me how the rfl system works regarding directors of clubs that went into administration as I see it by allowing this it gives the impression of rewarding what is ultimately failure.

With Mr Spencer staying on the board to me it tarnishes the efforts of the new board before they get started.

I would hope the situation is clarified and that Mr Spencer explains what happened and not pass the buck to someone else then graciously resign from the board to allow the club to move forward as it cannot at the moment!!!!!!

I saw his car parked up at the John Charles Stadium, I was tempted.........

Administration law is shocking. To allow anyone to go on the Board of Directors of any Company not just an RFL one after plunging thier last one into debt and not paying creditors is beyond comprehension to me. : I pay my taxes in full. They are using my money to fund thier lifestyles. NAUGHTY:

Silence is golden...
