It's an extreme example, but if you steal a loaf of bread - does your entire family go to prison?

The "crime" was committed by those who are no longer in charge of the club, what good does that do?

It doesn't act as a deterrent as there are no penalties for the offending party. It doesn't punish them as they have no interest, but rather innocent bystanders are punished for the actions of another.

Excuse my ignorance on this matter,but how common is it for an individual to take a sports club into administration and then be permitted to purchase the same sports club a relatively short time later?

Nice to see an individual who has been such a success in the sport take advantage of cronyism and get another good position having left Castleford,who have had a sudden surge in attendances and on-field success since he left.

Is it correct that as Marc Green was allegedly owed money he would be aware of what the potential new owners were offering in their bid to purchase the club?

I know Bates bought Chelsea for a pound and with a Trust fund he had in the Cayman Islands he was never fully investigated by the apparent official bodies in the UK.
I take it as you have only shown the image,did he also take Leeds United into admin and out again?
Pleased I am perennially impecunious :there does seem to be a certain something about many with money in this country.

Thank you all for being so generous of spirit that you restrained yourselves from pointing out my total ignorance.
I can only put it down to stress.
Of course this has happened before.Of course the RFL were involved....and Steve Ferres.
Also involved was the 'iconic' Racecourse stadium which had a RFL charge on it.
Long before Dr K had an opinion about the RFL.
Players were complaining.
