Quote: Ilkley Fax "I presume that you're not a supporter of the club - if you are God help us!
I disagree with a lot of what's written on this forum but can acept that other posters are not necessarily wrong but just have a different point of view.. Yes I think most would agree that we've not had value for money from this years recruitment- putting it in the hands of the person responsible for picking the team seems reasonably sensible. The rest of your post is such a twisting of the comments in the update as to not even be worth commenting on.'"


He is part of a group that have previously tried to take over the club so its safe to say he is quite bitter. One thing I never forget about the group is that one of them agreed to be a major sponsor before the start of one season and it got announced by the club only for the takeover to then fall through and he pull his sponsor ship just a couple of weeks before the season helping to leave the club in a bit of a mess.

On another note I don't get the moaning about people having a moan though. If Fax put out a signing video then people would offer opinions on the signing and some will be positive and some will be negative. Fax put out an info video which is fantastic to help keep people in the loop but you can't expect people not to comment on it and some of it is always going to be negative. I know my comments were negative and always have been towards this board because I always got the impression they wanted to take over the club as a status symbol rather than actually believing how hard the job in hand was going to be. I'm not happy to be proved right and I hope we can get some more serious parties involved after this cry for help.

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?

Quote: Greg Florimos Boots "I don't normally agree with you but I did chuckle at the way the increase in budget was dressed up almost like it were a deliberate act rather than someone being in charge of it who didn't have a clue what he was doing.

Who are these sponsors that have gone bust? Isn't the shortfall more to do with promises made by certain people who have one by one decided that it were no longer for them for whatever reason? It does sound like desparate times the way they are now asking for people to join the board and I just hope the people who took over do the right thing and give up their shares to any good people that they do get coming forward to be involved.'"


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 icon_confused.gif:

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.
