Well I congratulate all the directors who have put money into our club.

What astonishes me when talking to folk who have stopped going is that they invariably have a go at one or other saying that they are or were ripping the club off.

I dont recall AR being at the club when Emirates came on board, I also recall someone at the time telling me they approached us. I also believe if AR was at the club then DA wouldn't have been coach
If we had 20 Dereks we would be in a good place now, the past is the past and I am sure he learned a lot in a few years - he certainly learned how it could negatively affect a small business.
I am sure when Derek is able to donate his time fully he will be back, that aint going to be now but with the commercial success he is enjoying who knows whats round the corner.
Directors loans are the noose of many clubs but converting loans to shares and having the ability to buy shares in affordable lumps, say £100, is a recipe for success and the direction I would encourage the club to take.

I am 90 % sure it was Mike Callaghan that brought in the Emirates deal for SL, unfortunatly we had already sorted a main shirt deal, and they declined to support us the following year, although there is in existence somewhere a Leigh Centurions 2006 home shirt with Emirates on it, I have seen it

Isn't there also a shirt with [i"Body Image Fitness"[/i on it somewhere??
