King James/Steph has been posting here for years so yes.

Nope Caddick delegated essentially total control of all football matters to Hetherington when the two of them bought the club in 1996. That's why you never hear from him.

Hetherington has no ownership of Whinos, he is just a gob541te who is up the RFL bottom, most SL owners cannot stand the guy, or his wife or Agar.

I think that in business and politics there is a lot of skill and experience needed if your charged with bringing a good number of rich and strong minded people together.

Let me have your CV in this area and I'll check it and send it in for you. I want 20%.

Indeed, Caddick re-built the ground, the pair of them make quite a team.......

Suffice to say they gave it a go and maybe it didn't work, so the idea that there is someone who from a position of employee can chair a group of generally top businessmen and rich owners has turned out to be a long shot.

So no need to renew his contract, but no need for people to have a go at the guy as some sort of scapegoat, as you say the chairmen don't seem to see eye to eye at all.

Another one of your cogent, well-informed posts. There isn't an administrator in the sport who comes close to Hetherington's track record over decades, both at the club he founded and at the club he now co-owns. I doubt he cares what other club owners, or what morons on the internet, think of him, his wife or his Challenge Cup winning coach.

Just to help remove a tiny bit of your ignorance, the ownership split of Leeds is Caddick Group 76%, Hetherington 19%, Rob Oates 5%.

Gone/going.

Well that worked out well...

No real say. Elstones resignation not linked then?

As soon as Elstone got on the wrong side of the most powerful club bosses his time was always limited.

Ironic considering McManus was one of the three who brought him in.

He seems to have changed his mind quite quickly. Leeds were always against the creation of Elstone's position, which was always going to make life difficult for him.

Wrong hetherington is a part owner Caddick us majority owner but GH is the brains.

He/she Totally mis judged that one, GH brings a vote of No confidence, Elstone gone. The Sleeve wins again.

Why would anyone take this position unless it's simply about salary?

What exactly can anyone try to achieve when the clubs have so much power?

He was merely a puppet for the triumvirate of Wigan, Warrington and Saints.

Was?

SL don’t enjoy being disrupted. That’s clear. Now is the chance to create more disruptions.

Hopefully the RFL and SL will merge again. Have an England Lions v Kangaroos 3 match Series every other year. 3 match series v NZ at times. No RLWC. No play-offs. 12 in SL, home and away to decide league title. Rename SL to RFL Premiership, CC Final in July every year, top 8 from the Premiership from the previous year go into the QFs. 1 weekend of Cup rugby in May, 1 in June and as said the final in July.

Hopefully Rimmer will have the decency too to fall on his sword

why does that matter? who would do a better job? we are a union of clubs, of course the clubs should have a say in what happens.

Strange timing from Mr. Elstone.

Elstone's been put on ignore

Hetherington has no recorded ownership of The Whinos.
