Your team must be doing the same after the season they have had.

Quote: MjM "Leeds CF&A is probably a relatively easy thing to divest himself of if he wanted to get some cash in without disrupting his own business (assuming there is a willing buyer anyway). I wonder how much it could be sold for... and would he try to bundle in Leeds RUFC with it - we could do without having another owner who is happy to oblige that ongoing distraction.'"


Obviously this is all speculation, but I don't mind speculating.

Caddick's "Rugby Project" has been going what, 15 years. In that time the Rugby League side has achieved as much as could be dreamed of, and more, and the unprecedented on field success will probably never be matched with a salary cap in place.

However, Caddick's background was the Rugby Union side and his dream was to create a Premiership powerhouse, and this has been an unmitigated disaster and bottomless money pit.

The signs are he has given up on the union dream, they are back in Headingley colours with a cheap coach and playing squad. If he has given up, what better time to sell up, retire the project, and Bank a seven figure cheque for Leeds CF&A to partly offset his losses from propping up the 15 a side mob.

As MjM says, it would explain the postponement of the southstand, let the new owners commit to the borrowing; and it might explain why all the stand delay press releases were in the Caddick name and not Hetherington.

100% total speculation mind.

I just gave an opinion about improving the ground, i didnt expect anything more from you anyway, the words bitter and twisted certainly comes to mind.

As a Leeds fan I think Headingley is woefully short of the standards that should be expected from a top sporting club.

Three quarters of the ground is not better than the likes of Whelden Rd, Odsal, The Willows.

When you have one stand that cannot be filled due to safety issues, you have another end that is completely exposed to the elements and your "Prestige" stand has 50 year old wooden seats.

Viewing is poor for 70% of the ground - as the saying goes "Those in glass houses"

Absolutely agree. Said it for a number of years. Best thing this club can do is up sticks and develop elsewhere.

You can't keep polishing a turd, eventually it falls away.

Why you having a pop at Wheels?

Not only are your arguments of the swiss cheese variety, your banter is pretty naff also.

Jeff just likes having random pops at people it adds to the flames he thinks.

Quote: Adeybull "Something like that thought had crossed my mind, since I had heard it said Caddick was not a well man but was at best hearsay. Is there any truth whatsoever in that last point, or is it bollox?'"


He's fit and well.

Quote: MjM "An interesting whisper of a rumour which I heard today could be relevant.

What if, just imagine, Caddick was interested in selling Leeds CF&A Limited. And had, let's just say, discretely circulated that fact to a selection of appropriately wealthy local businesspeople who might be considered suitable potential new owners for the Rhinos?

One probably wouldn't make big capital decisions, however urgent they are by all accounts, if there was a change in ownership in the offing. Especially if those new owners might have a different strategic direction in mind for the club.

Quote: Maverick Rhino "What if, as part of this change of ownership, the minority owner and Chief Executive also sold up and decided to take control of a rival club in West Yorkshire?

Why should the Council pay for any repairs?
