The only ' point ' about thursday night was that for almost 4 days Ryans resignation was an internal club matter, strangely Ryan, other players and a former coach/club official were in attendance at a SKY match who then were given the relevant information

So who gave it to them?

Exactly

the Rowley departure has been acrimonious. The Breirley exit is a current running sore. The CEO leaves early. Current leigh players go to a sky game with people at odds with the club. Despite the rights and wrongs of the individual cases it is poor for the club.

Or maybe the big falling out of everyone at the club is the invention of some "fans'" over active imagination. Some players have gone out with their mates without even thinking about whether some of the people they've gone with get on with other people they know. Be honest I'm sure everyone has spent time with friends some of their other friends don't get on with without even thinking about it.

So who told SKY?

Up to that point there was still a chance of a reconcilliation

Ryan?

Player?

Ex CEO?

Ex coach?

Probably Ryan, now think it's very likely it's been Ryan all along starting all the rumours about him leaving & making public all the confidential details of his contract (only him & his agent had anything to gain from the constant rumours & speculation). Doesn't mean the rest of the players were in on it though.

Sky 'Sources' are very rarely wrong when it comes to football 'exclusives' are they, guess they must have 'agents' who feed them the exclusives, as theirs is the only 24 hour Sports News channel. In return for what, I can't imagine !
