That part is just the standard playbook that all sports fans use when a player leaves. RL is better at it than most.

1) Well, he's had his head turned by club X, we can't stop him from following the money.
2) Age: 23 & under - they're paying over the odds for potential
3) 30& over - they're paying over the odds for someone who's best years are behind him
4) 24-29 - He's average at best, we've 4 players in the squad better than him, & 3 coming through
5) I've never rated him.
6) There's better players available to sign.

Yeah fans always spin a narrative that suits their agenda whether bigging their own club up or throwing mud at another. We're all guilty of it. Beginning of the season some rival fans were saying it's inevitable we're going bust again and they can't wait for it...

Anyway there clearly is an investor of sorts. An unknown lottery winner who only wants the money spending on the squad does seem a little out there however.

Even if there is an investor, I believe we've just posted a profit for the second year in a row?

Think it's a case of bulls aren't actually offering huge money and more that Halifax really can't afford to offer much at all the moment and their fans can't really come to terms with that

Said person isn’t an unknown lottery winner. They’re a lottery winner known to a select few Halifax fans and no one connected to the actual club they’re said to be pumping their cash into.

I've got a good friend who's a Fax fan and he warned me the 2012 crash was on the cards 18 months before it happened.

He also told me Keys is leaving because they spent massively on Widdop's retirement and that put his nose completely out of joint - esp as he's been 'a complete waste of time and money'. Can't discount all they tell us

He even told me that Nigel has a decent plan and we should be happier than we've been for years.

Is there still no news on the lease? It seems to be stubbornly dragging out.....
