This is like a miniature Northern Rock, with SLE as the government. Unless it's a very short term (ie sold on in the close-season) measure I can't see how it'll work.

I wonder if this is a ploy (albeit with a preparedness to act on the promise) to force the hands of the various consortia.

Not suprised at all by this.

In other news, I believe I may have knocked the bowler hat off my fellow civil servant's heads by exclaiming "fking hell?!" in the office extremely loudly.

A good move by SLE and good to see other club's chairmen putting the game before there own clubs. Although it does raise a whole load of more questions

Devils in the detail though Adey. This ends immediate uncertainty for players etc, but we need to know the details of SLs plans for us going forward now.

The Cas fan i work with has just had a stroke!

They need to come out and say how this would work asap. A dangerous precident is being set, every club that hits difficulties will expect the same treatment.

their hand was forced by BG. no offers so he was going to liqudate the club and leave the RFL up creek with what to do about matches against the Bulls.........

Sorry about this. Real thick question but if this comes to pass are all our old directors, directors no more, and would this lead to any potential buyer not having the share holder / directors structure's hamstringing them.

Have you reported this sexual abuse to HR?

Its ABC allright IMO.

Anyone But Caisley. And stops Guilfoyle committing euthanasia.

Buys time for a more appropriate future owner to come forward, without the time pressure.

Or, failing that, time to complete the season then put it out of its misery somewhere dark and quiet, when the spotlights are off.

And yes, we now need to be told the detail. This can only be a stewardship solution.
