Yeah, pretty much my reading of it. A few things I'm thinking:

- MG plays hardball, and it backfires and looks like he loses everything, so calls up the administrator saying 'Ok, I'll take 10p in the pound'.
- Dubious management information being cited as one of the blockers to a takeover, so making everyone redundant and severing all contractual ties makes this MI issues far less relevant: the can of worms has been emptied. Means we lose players but a buyer can take the club with suitable level of knoweldge.
- Wage bill for next year was simply too high. We lose our stars but now a purchase is viable. Looks like a false economy to me, but there we go.

Whatever the case, this is madness.

They would if there was a guaranteed buyback of the shares. This way the taxman gets something rather than f**k all under liquidation. Maybe that's where Green says his goodbye as well and gets something.

If this has legs, I'm more pi55ed off as we might have lost more players than we would have done ordinarily and for me to keep onside as a long suffering supporter it will need to be a good story with a bright future

Think we've jumped the gun here. If you take the 460 pages from the orig post, 80 from Phoenix thread and 10 from Players meet new owner, we would be over 550 pages by now.

If it is Green then Mick will be persona non grata just from the things he's said today.

There's some potential for hilarity here. Purely hypothetically, the RFL do some underhand dealings wrt the administration/liquidation, HMRC take umbrage and sue the RFL, the RFL go t1ts up, Fat Nige gets locked up for fraud, and I march up and down in front Red Hall, frothing at the mouth, shouting 'you should have cut your cloth accordingly!' like a real rugby league fan.

Aye. And the site would have stopped working.

There's so few left, they definitely could

Merge the threads!

'Learn to keep your mouth shut' is the first he should heed...

Just like my local football team, Alloa Athletic then?

I'll join you.

Indeed.

Suspect possibly a), to be honest. Obviously without knowing the actual figures, I thought the wage bill for[i next[/i year was looking far better than it has for a while. The squad size, and therefore wage bill, for the last two years must have been ludicrous however.

Can we organise a coach? With banners

"Mind-boggling Incompetence"

"Cut your cloth!"

"It's simple! Don't spend what you don't have!!!"

"It's time you learnt you are no longer a Big Governing Body!!! (well expect for yours Nige - obviously)"

"What have you done with our Tea-Lady?!?!?"

and my personal fave

"You should never have sold your lease?!?!?"
