Is it just me or shouldn't it be the case that the coach of a team should always be the person in charge of recruitment?

Maybe if Hudd-Shay donated his daily beer spending to the club, Fax's financial worries would be over!

I thought the update was informative, even though I think Lee Kenny needs to get some specs that fit him cos he kept prodding them up! Certainly need to get things moving with the Shay. Give it to Town and Fax, knock down the unused Skircoat Stand replacing with some kind of community centre / hotel accommodation / room hire / match day bar - let's get some sizeable other income streams. Target season tickets / mini season tickets. They're trying the family ticket of £40 for 2 adults and 2 kids - what if you don't have any kids! Still think it's too expensive anyway. Prefer a 3 match ticket for £45, more preferable to fans who don't want to commit to a full season because of holidays or a ground switch (like the Haven game).

Should always have the final say on whether a player is required at the club,while a DOF deals with the contract,accomodation etc etc..Think Finn inherited players,including Widdop,who he may not of wanted...at least the buck stops with him now and there's no excuses...

Hudd-Shay is very adept at drinking a lot but spending very little...I like Lee Kenny but admitting he knows little about rugby including how many points a victory gets..has to be a slight concern..

We wouldn't be from Yorkshire if we didn't have a moan about something, especially moaning about the moaning


Happy Yorkshire Day

Everybody knows that unless you have a millionaire backer you are always going to be struggling along, Lee Kenny whilst admitting he knew little about running a rugby league club mentioned it.

Fax aren’t the only club past and present to be in this situation with several clubs seeing a number of changes of ownership and BoD simply because having a few £10 grand or even a few £100 grand doesn’t last long and when it’s gone it’s gone even some millionaires have seen little to show for the amount they’ve ploughed in.

Anything could happen, we may just keep limping along or pass the baton to another group with similar lack of financial clout, we may go bust or we may get one or several millionaire backers who know just how to run a rugby league club.

What do you think, for me it’s very unlikely it will be the last option, is there anybody out there that even meets that criteria?

Looking on companies house it’s Colfax windows that sponsor our away shirt that are in liquidation.

And as Lee Kenny clearly mentioned, in business your chain linked to other business / customers and as so often happens you only need one of those links to encounter problems and go under and it’s passed on to the rest of the chain, everybody knows it.

It’s even been mentioned only this week on here that it might be a good idea to go into administration to clear the debt and start again.

What effect would that have on the people / businesses etc that Fax owe money to, not a good one and how would that be their fault

While all the issues that Lee talked about are important the biggest one is trying to get someone to invest in the club. How many times do you hear we can't compete with other sides who own their own ground because of the extra funds that gives them. Good luck to him and the rest of the board because if they can it would be a massive game changer for us.

There's no such thing as investors in rugby league. Only benefactors.
