| Certainly a strong statement and puts part time rumours to bed hopefully. Would have been nice if he'd clarified how, if at all, liquidation of safeguard could affect club but guess that's his personal business ateotd. If club is being run as a business then only major issue could be his ability to temporarily provide finances in event of cashflow issues.
Looking at players leaving, departures should pretty much cover shortfall in central funding as its mainly players you would expect to be bigger earners, plus quite a few who've been taking a wage and barely playing. Down to Rohan now, to identify better value options and bring through the youth.

| Positive statement from Green, and I absolutely agree with his comment on the junior intake at all levels at the moment, we have got that very right at the moment.
I get his frustration given he made an earlier statement about staying full time next year and that our squad was just about complete for next year. BUT..... Look at where the rumors really gained credence, in the media! Within an hour of Sunday's game ending, Phil Caplin on Radio Leeds was talking about hard decisions needing to be taken and that players may have to be unloaded next season if not before, a view supported enthusiastically by the T&A & the YP this morning. This helped feed the on line frenzy that seems to have so frustrated Green. It's clear from the T&A articles that there isn't a good relationship with him, and I guess the rest of the press. That is something that is in Green's power to put right, nothing to do with supporters, but helps feed supporters less than positive attitudes. The way the club communicate on injured players sort of bears this out as well, no word on why players are missing, what the problem is etc. I get not wanting to show all your cards to competitors, but when were we informed that Gaskell would be out approx. x weeks, 2 or 3 weeks ago.
All this would be irrelevant if we saw the team fighting as a team, even in defeat, but too often we see little fight, hence Green should understand why people question paying top dollar for ragtag performances. Address the communication issues, keep a future vision with the development of juniors and get a group of players fighting 80 minutes each week for each other (not just against Leigh) and I have little doubt the majority of supporters would continue to shell out cash to support our club, if they have something to feel proud of!

| Fair play mate, you have been saying exactly that in exactly that way too. I hold my hand up to not completely believing it. Nothing to with the messenger, just the abject craziness of the message.

That is quite possibly the best idea I have heard in ages!!!

| So, on a lighter note, which half back did we turn down from signing this year, my money is on Rob Burrow

| So we could actually have had an entire team of scrum halves out there at one point. It might even have been considered.

| I'd have taken Marc Green's statement on board more readily if there'd been even a smidgeon of humility.
No recognition of mistakes made, bad signing policy, keeping Lowes as coach for too long, players not performing to their undoubted ability - and so on...
Yes, the abuse and mistruths are all wrong - but once again we have a statement that places the onus right back onto the long-suffering (and diminishing) supporters.

Why was it a bad signing policy. As individuals the players aren't bad they just don't work as a team.

| Quote: ifallwerelikemumby "The witch-hunt against Ferris particularly from some of the T&A forum muppets was just grounded in dislike of the guy and the club, not substance. Nobody other than those involved knows exactly who signed who.
But in the end what is not in doubt is that many signings have not worked out and hopefully lessons have been learned. A huge clear out is needed. Without any substance other than rumour I was told a certain prop forward was on £90000 a year for 15 mins work every once in a while! if some our players are or were on that amount then it should be relatively easy to save some money by getting rid if they are out of contract.
I agree with Green it is up to the supporters to keep the club afloat and hope the club can be more prudent with our money.
On a footnote does any body seriously believe Batleys wage bill is £150000 a year!!! This is a club who when announcing attendance figure against us last year brought howls of laughter from the crowd.'"
Batley budget can't of been £150k because they players was on a 5k bonus for winning on Sunday.
