His wife was the marketing manager, she's gone as well.

he seems to have done some good work at cas so if we could find a spot for him i would have him on board the good ship trinity

Interview with Steve on the YEP website -

I might be reading between the lines and indeed over thinking this (as TRB often jokes I have a tendency to do), but it does sound to me like Steve may have been leaning towards a ground share at Newmarket, if ultimately the plan to significantly improve WR didn't come to fruition prior to Newmarket being completed in (hopefully) 2015?

EDIT: Just to add that is also sounds like he might have been pushing the BOD to actively seek or accept new investment to finance improvements to WR in the shorter term as well, to generate more revenue.

That thought crossed my mind as well IA. No wonder the Cas Tigers BOD told him to do one.

I have to agree and suspect that many others on the board would too. Equally, if Steve's own 'Cas' vision was Super League, come what may (so to speak), then along with maybe the BOD's unwillingness to dilute their shareholding and welcome new investment in the club and presence into the board room in the short term, then going was probably a decision they ended up reaching almost mutually?

Agree entirely. I remember when we had our 2 stints in NL1. Some of the comments from members of our BOD were quite warming to playing at that level, even more alarming was the fact they were comfortable with the lower finances involved at that level. I get the feeling Cas Tigers would take a drop down before even comtemplating a move to NM.

Hahahaha, see sky sports news rugby league section, look closer to home. A 6 figure shortfall ?? Oops

I think you have the wrong thread - a trait seemingly very common over the common - if you get my gist!

Oh dear.

Wish we played at agbrigg, beautiful place

#lol

I thought half-term was last week?

Run along now Son, the grown-ups are having a grown-up conversation.

If you have 'nipped over' here to troll. Don't bother.

Still here? Try the 'Eric France' thread - there's a clue in the title!

Indeed. Sigh.

It seems in his rush to troll he didn't read the titles/posts correctly.

Epic fail

I see our six finger friends are getting excited, must be skiping school o'dear

jog on be a good lad mummy may come home and catch you off school..

Final warning.

Mate, you're not even good at trolling! Do one!

Don't worry, he's 'done one' for a while!

TROLLS are not what they used to be.

No class at all.

Doesnt sound like this issue will go away anytime soon..what has been going on at Cas??

Doesn't look good does it, I am surprised they haven't staged a protest yet to the BoD.

At the moment, peering over the common's like watching an episode of Spartacus

Political manouvering, square offs, assassinations, blood letting, power mongering, rebellion and at the end you know someones going to get crucified!

Its never been the same since we re-named the ground "the Colosseum".

It's like tit for tat bad news, they get a resignation, we get a CCJ!

We'll be bankrupt by next week then if Fozzard is right!!
