| I think they're in a naff position of we know we're down, but not mathematically. They can't say here's how we're going to get out of L1 and the plan for the future. Doesn't help the ridiculous uncertainty on what the new structures going to be. For me when we're down, we need to get a statement out as soon as possible. Toovey seems adamant we're in good hands long term, it's important Chalmers shares what's convinced Toovey, with us fans too. John Bastian must be convinced as well as he's convinced some outstanding 16 year olds to sign with our academy. Just a few paragraphs along the lines of
" It's hard to take, but we will rebuild and come back. We are assembling a squad capable of getting us out of the L1 that we build for the future and improve year on year. Our academy is staying and these will who we will build the team around. We are keeping players x, y & z"
Mind you exactly this time last year, Marc Green released the statement after the Fev debacle saying he WOULD NOT and NEVER will put this club into administration.
For me the squad will be key whether i am on board next year. Doesn't have to include Chisholm, Smith, Tonga necessarily(although it would be nice), but keeping players like Butterworth, Lumb, Pickersgill, Ricketts is key for me. If it's a team full of London rejects then i think i will be out.

| Quote: HamsterChops "To have a season where they essentially tread water and get the business side of things in place (sponsorship, bank accounts, credit card facilities, visa applications, pens...) and then start in League 1 as they wanted to in the first place? Rather than starting in League 1 in 2017 and having to try assemble a squad capable of getting promoted as well as doing all the business side of things with a week or two's notice, they have a year to prepare for that League 1 assault and get things in place in good time.
Makes sense to me if I'm honest. I just wish that if that is the case (and I'm convinced it is), that they'd been honest about it from the start so I hadn't wasted time and money earlier in the season thinking we were fighting something we really weren't.'"
In league 1 this season, on zero points and even with all the other trials and tribulations, (card machines, losing players and all the rest) we could still have been competitive enough to not pee off as many fans as we have. Instead of being pig sick of the rugby and everything which has gone with it at the end of this season (which I totally am) we might have been happy enough to be looking forward to continuing our, no doubt small but genuine, progression next season, maybe even considering the possibility of promotion. Instead, on -12 in the Championship, we've just dropped further down the tube and many are now wondering whether or not to turn their backs on the whole sorry mess.
At the end of the day, we've spent a lot of cash on a season in which we never had any realistic chance of 'doing well', or even being anything near competitive and were odds on to be relegated from before the first game kicked off. Well, thanks Mr Rimmer, thanks Mr Wood, thanks to all concerned, I'm sure you all feel really, really proud.

| It's saying something when Marwan is dropping more hints about the clubs future than the club itself.
The RFL wanted Cha-lo and told them before Christmas last year it was theirs but they needed to bide their time so I still believe there is something bigger in the background bubbling along to do with the RFL's need for an HQ and the land.
I don't think anyone is under the illusion that current Odsal is viable for any sport anymore, Dunnies is still in use til October so I guess until CBMDC call time officially on it no-one can say anything.
What's 3500 fans compared to the millions they can make from the land (allegedly) esp as the lease
(we believe) includes the land that Dunnies currently occupies? Split the parcels up, build the HQ on Dunnies site and dispose of current stadium site. Everyone wins, council, investors, RFL.... except possibly us.
Anyway... time to take off the tinfoil and get back to work.

Who rewarded him?????? Us fans? No.
If you have a problem start bashing the RFL. They decided our fate after miss management from Green and others.
We are supporters that's all.

Ha ha. Loving this. It's funny watching someone like this person make a fool of themselves.
