| Quote M@islebugs="M@islebugs"I don't quite buy that. I can't see any scenario where either Nigel or the RFL would gain any benefit from holding a lease on a site owned by CBMDC. The idea that £700k buys you the Odsal site is implausible. A more likely scenario for me is that Wood and co bought into the Caisley conspiracy stories being peddled (on here by the club) at the time and wanted to help Hood. By the time they realised Hood could never pay them back and the loan would become public and disastrous PR, they made what must go down as one of the most terrible decisions in the history of the British game. That neither party insisted on a EGM of the shareholders tells you everything you need to know. The 'saving the iconic Odsal stadium from predators' story should have seen the wider game call for clear out at the top of the RFL.
Why he has maintained an interest and returned to the scene of British RL's greatest disaster only he knows.'"
That whole episode just reeks of total incompetence. Yet the RL press meekly reported what they were told.
Whatever the reason for Wood hanging around his parasitical influence remains on the game and us. Maybe he does hope of working some angle on the ground, even though it seems completely implausible? I can't think of any other reason. His track record as a club owner is abysmal.

Well if he did that I'm not sure he'd make any money since the "assets" amount to bugger all.

I mean I have zero time for the bloke but whatever his end game is, I doubt it is liquidation.
Why buy the club in the first place?

I don't even think that many would be bothered anymore
5 years ago they was a will to save the club
I don't think the fanbase would react the same now.

| At least we can forget all this talk about attacking kicks, dummy runners, offloads and one up rugby and we can get back to the proper talk about TUPEs and admin fees.
Anyone got NestEgg’s number?

| Think we've drifted off topic a bit but that was inevitable given what's going on.

You are Nigel Wood and i claim my £5.
In reality the reason the squad is in such a state because of all the other problems.

| It's a good time to remember that the soon to be ex-Mrs Wood is taking him to the cleaners...
He may well need out and have no choice?

| On topic and on players, other than Tommy Doyle and Gill I don’t think I’d be crushed by anyone leaving to be fair.
There’s a few I’d prefer to keep, more backs than forwards as I think forwards is where we really struggle.
Unfortunately the lack of money means whoever goes will be replaced with a similar calibre of player unless we have a huge cash injection and can start completing with Fev, Leigh, York, Fax etc on spend. That is where a dedicated set up like Batley comes in to punch above our weight which I think we wanted under kear but it never seemed to happen for us.
I don’t think the squad is as bad as it looks, certainly not promotion pushing but not shipping 50 to Newcastle (no offence to them). Maybe the negativity and attitude that ‘everyone is playing for fun while Fev and Leigh battle for promotion’ has worked its way into the club.
Naturally they can’t tell the fans that though as they need to ticket sale so it’s business as usual and SL here we come….
