With a few more members of staff leaving today and the sale of players I wonder if Elston or Glover feel any guilt about the situation they have got the club into in such a short time. I also believe Glover has played a blinder by being out of the country for a few weeks while Mr Carter swings the axe.

He knew we was in the bottom of the toilet bowl most likely the reason why Mr Carter took over.

Glover must have know what was going on, like board meetings, he must have asked whats going on here, like we better slow down on the spending or we will be in the brown stuff. What top man would let this go on, thats why he is to blame more than is pupet, he run the club, but like my Dad once said, never trust what a double glazzing salesman tells you

like I said in another thread it was a gamble that hasn't paid off

at what stage do you give up on the top 8 position in the season

Glover saved us from extinction before and put alot of his own money in, so why should he feel guilty? Both Glover and Elston also put alot of effort in trying to do good for the club including getting Newmarket on track, but unfortunately it sounds like too much faith was put in Elston with the purse.

Heard that we need some serious investment in the next four weeks or we'll be folding :/

Hope not, if we do then we will have lost the lot from the city, rugby league, union, cricket team, great the only city with no pro team whats so ever

You don't say 4foxsake. Have you been hiding in a darkened room for the last week.

AG had a punt, nearly got lucky with top 8 finish last season & trying to draw something positive from this, at least BV has felt alive again,these last 2 years,
even though we were resigned to being booted out 2years ago (& would have been, but for the Welsh implosion).Makes you wonder how many lives aWildcat has?
As for AG, he may be reflecting on Bernie Ecclestone's quip " if you want to make a small fortune, amass a large one & invest it in formula 1" ( or Super League).
PS: Coolcash, take heed!

I hope the shooting aint aimed at me, Trip.

I stumbled across it when looking for something else today, and felt sick when I watched it. I can't believe after what I saw on there that we are where we are now.

And the RFL get the painless 12 team top flight they've been after.

They might let us reform in the Championship. With promotion back on, and hopefully still Newmarket, maybe we have to go back one step to make bigger steps forward, like Huddersfield have.

Absolutely not sir and your 100% right.

Not quite because I certainly don't think the Broncos are one of the teams they want shut of.

I agree there, but the Broncos might do it for themselves.

I don't see any way in this world the RFL will let them drop or even worse fold, I personally think the London expriment failed long ago but I also think that super league has failed if it ends up being just Yorkshire and Lancashire but on the other hand we still have the French so not a total loss.

I dunno mate. There are lots of little things in those clips that I think show you who was really running the show. But I'm grateful to Andrew Glover for what he's done, and for keeping his money in the club at a time when we really need it to be in there.

I'm with you on that. I think he went into it with the best of intentions. Perhaps a bit of an ego trip, playing the club chairman role and splashing his cash, but eventually reality hit home and realised he had bitten off more than he could chew.

I suppose the surprise factor behind all of this is because of his double-glazing salesman background, where everything is the best deal ever. When was the last time you saw a double glazing advert that said, "the best discount we could muster, but still decent windows"?

Some of the gambles didn't pay off. Cheap season tickets got the turnstiles clicking but not the tills. There aren't the facilities to cash in on the extra punters.

Ultimately, he had a go at something that was maybe always doomed to fail.

From what I'm hearing, another club with a new owner could soon be in a not dissimilar position to ourselves; it might not be as straightforward for the RFL as you think.

Two divisions of ten with two up, two down would be better than the convoluted crap the RFL are wanting to bring in after next year anyway.

This could happen sooner rather than later. What are the chances of a 12 team SL next year with another going down at the end of 2014 to be replaced by NL1 GF winners of 2014 ?
Imagine London dropping down for 2014 and coming straight back up in 2015 after winning the 2014 GF.

Yes the fact he totally ignored it is why we are in the brown stuff
