Has he actually gone or still part of the club and just taken a back seat

Seems to mean he has gone but is he still the owner?

Yeah just read he’ll be staying as owner, reckon a few years will pass of being self sufficient then when the league is more winnable he’ll go for it again and get us up

He's not said he's gone he's just taking himself out of the firing line,the way I read it was it's pointless throwing money away because there's no way he could compete financially with Toronto so he's hoping they get promoted next year then it would be more realistic the year after to compete for promotion with the other teams

Thanks for clearing things up Derek , and also thanks for the ' ride ' , hope to see you around the league , might even buy you a beer mate

A fresh start . Looking forward to the season

So the club owe his company millions which he can call in at anytime. So he actually put nothing in, they infact remain a loan.
He is still the majority shareholder so makes all the key decisions.

Looks to me he’s added some more named scapegoats, a lot of text to explain nothing has actually changed.

It’s a smoke screen nothing that’s all

Can we we not just look forward to next season, instead of slagging of a Guy who has invested heavily in our club. Call it a loan, or whatever you want. Other businessmen were queueing up, to take control of Leigh Centurions weren't they ?

Very true.. A handshake or gentleman's agreement plays no part in the modern world.

That statement though

I still remember his 'thank you' statement to our 'home grown hero' for all the hard work and commitment he'd given our club. https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2017/10/2 ... -beaumont/

I just don't like the way he's trying to re-write history. The last couple of years have been littered with ex players and staff who have been treated shamefully and whilst most people just care about the team they support I would only support a club who looks after it's staff in a respectful way that doesn't harm their mental health, regardless of whether that person is in the club or leaving. It just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth that this man can write reams about himself and his cash and how we should all be thankful that he put his cash into the club but yet have no concerns whatsoever about how his actions have affected various players during his tenure. And no I don't accept that fact that it was Juke's fault, or Cunningham's fault. IT WAS HIS FAULT and he should stand up like a man and admit that's he behaved appallingly. I hope all that is in his book but obviously we all know it won't be because he would never consider that fact.
