Put your dummy back in lad. Ive not really had a go at the BOD in my posts in this thread have i? Saying the board agreed to pay him what he wanted isnt really having a go is it? A tongue in cheek remark about Mike been a bit of a gossip isnt really having a go is it? Not like it isnt true is it. The other remark isnt even about the clubs current BOD but you know that already dont you.

You can see the irony in the clubs Lottery manager(Just to confirm thats right isnt it?) mentioning about confidentiality and things that you would assume you should know little about.

No really. I genuinely believe that this guy has the talent for it. You can read it in his posts. He is born for the job.

If ignorance really is bliss, then GFB would indeed be the happiest person in the world!

Going off at a massive tangent here but - what ever happened to Yob? Mr Griffiths?

The RFL have finally caught up with him after the infamous scenes in Wigan in 2002. He's currently serving a ban from Rugby with Des from Barrow.

I can not believe that statement.

Didn't he have a falling out with a director? The courier said he left his post to "concentrate on his business".

Ian (yob) lost his mortgage business sadly and moved away from Halifax. His partner lived in Hartlepool which is where I believe he now lives. All I know us that there was a differing of opinions at board level regarding certain things and left the BOD.

He's definitely in the land of Monkey Hangers.

My bloody ears were burning!

Nice to see all my old buddies on here.

Thanks for the kind words Chris, but I didn't lose the Mortgage Business, but more, shut it down - before it collapsed!

A long story, but basically, after surviving having the best part of £200k pilfered by a couple of trusted staff and then being left without telephone lines in my offices for over 3 months by 2 rogue telecoms companies, I decided to wind down the business in the difficult climate we were in and didn't have the energy to fight them all.

I started working from home, but was spending more time giving free Debt Advice helping a Debt Charity, than helping clients get decent mortgages.

Trying to get people a decent rate was impossible and I've never ripped anybody off in my life, so wouldn't just "Sell" a mortgage to make a living, so decided to have a change of life.

No more stress, no more bills, live by the sea (haha) and enjoying life a little slower, but still helping people to make money and save money, which is what I do best.

Incidentally, I didn't leave the board because of any disagreement with anybody, let alone a board member. Though I was upset at the way my Sponsorships were being given away without any consultation.

I truly left because I actually could see what was coming with the economy and knew I'd need to spend more time helping my clients and so had to give up.

I enjoyed my time on the board, even if there were differences of opinion.

There is something odd about Halifax RLFC though, in that it seems that any Director who leaves suddenly becomes the Anti Christ and should be avoided at all cost! Those same people who have plowed thousands of pounds of their own money and many sleepless nights trying to help it out. The fans see their loyalty and value, but unfortunately the club seems to resent anybody leaving, for whatever their reason.

I'm still, and always will be, a Fax fan and you'll see me at a game now and again, even if it's when Fax next play Gateshead lol. But I've got some exciting (for me) things in the pipeline that I'm hoping I may be able to bring to Fax and other clubs some time soon, so watch this space

Catch you all again.

Yob

Can't believe I've not been on for over a year and still have more posts than TS!
