All 4 players would have stayed with Leigh, but the club decided to 'Cash in' and very miserably too to keep afloat.
Steve Simms (alike Millward) saw the potential of the 4 mentioned and the rest is History. Maybe there is a new generation on its way. After all, what have we to lose ?
Our Academy / Leigh East in 1990/91 contained even better players and some didn't even bother putting pen to paper for anyone, not did Leigh try to entice them. Sam Horne, Ashley Rankin and Derek Hardman would have floated into Leighs squad, yet never had the opportunity, nor asked, to play. Scott Martin was probably the best of the bunch, yet never really reached his full potential.
Leigh could have had a fantastic Team in the Mid 90's from this pool of players alone. Instead, we had to endure the rubbish of Workingtons drubbing and 'blazergate' (although I must admit, they were bloody good times !!)
' Cash in ' ? , as in needing to pay bills ?
If the other players didn't make it , then they weren't good enough or have the desire ( something Murphy alluded to in his book ) , either way we didn't really see value for money from those players

Desperate as we seem to be at the moment, I would have preferred him to move on. Whilst having championed his cause, in the past, even I can't see a way forward for him at Leigh.

| And neither could Kieron , even on a PT basis and even with no players whilst Keiron was planning for next season as Leigh head coach.
Keiron made this point known to the power at the club but it would appear only to have fallen on deaf ears. Sadly.

With what is going to be, by all accounts, a tight playing budget, we simply won't be able to afford to employ someone who is going to be sat in the stand for up to half the season. Please sort yourself out, Jamie!

| Quote: GUBRATS " , in truth it should probably revert back to fully part time with a part time SC
'"
With one guaranteed promotion place there will be no chance of that. By the time the team heading for promotion are confirmed they are scraping around to try get a SL competitive squad, if anyone going up was only part time that job would become ten fold harder to get a full time capable squad for SL. At least with the cap in line with SL any club that can afford it can give them a base for SL if they have aspirations of promotion
