Quote: Dick Jones "Several years ago we went down the route of exploring if a trust would work better then what we have now, LISA, and our fans voted vastly against it,
To me the people wanting the trust, could have still set it up and should have done so, then people can choose, though with Leythers ,I think most would have backed both.
At this point we just need people to commit quickly and my idea of 1000 members to sign up in the next week is acheiveable and could bring in £60000 per year, this with the corporate club commitments will be there or there abouts, with the other income the club have already, for us to secure a short term future for the club, then we can look at what is better in the long run.'"
Great idea but how is the money put into the club going to be used? I'm aware the current problems are due to external circumstances but if the money you all put in is going to be spent on players (a stated aim of LISA), how do you propose that the club is going to become sustainable? Simply buying players isn't going to do it. And what happens when this money runs out? Do you do another appeal for more members or wait for the knight on his white horse to come along again and again?
If I were a Leigh supporter I'd be questioning where my money has been going to in the last few years since the club appears to have been reliant on an external benefactors contributions which, now it is no longer there, has left the club up the creek without a paddle. It obviously hasn't been spent on making your club sustainable.
