Fans venting understandable anger and frustration is unlikely to alter the speed of the challenge that the Club currently faces. The Club's hands are probably tied by the process, rendering the issue of update bulletins extremely difficult if they are to contain any meaningful information. Such bulletins in themselves could potentially delay the process and increase the cost to resolve the outstanding financial issues.

DB has made some very poor decisions both on and off the field. The fortune that has been wasted over the past 3 years should have been used to deliver a financially stable club, operating within a solid business plan and with much greater emphasis on cold commercial decision making, rather than emotion.
Judgements are easily made with the benefit of hindsight but the mistakes appear to have gone far beyond.

The fact is, we are where we are, the clocks cannot be turned back. There is a financial mess that needs to be sorted out regarding player contracts and other issues going back several years. This mess cannot be unravelled overnight - these legal processes and negotiations eat time. The irony is that the sooner the club announces a move regarding the future, the greater the cost could be to resolve the historical issues.

The challenge is that the longer this saga runs, the more likely the club will have to be wound up - to start again at the bottom. Irrespective of the player budget ultimately assigned for next season, it is already very hard to imagine a scenario where we can be competitive in the Championship in 2019. The players available to recruit a brand new part-time squad of any real quality are very limited and rapidly diminishing by the week. To remain in the Championship is very likely to condemn us to a humiliating 2019 season as everyone's Whipping Boys, with ever declining attendances and other income streams.

In my view, if we are allowed, it is time to wrap things up and start again at the bottom of League One, giving us a fighting chance of a lasting recovery. This suggestion may however be scuppered by the RFL who may prefer to prolong the agony by forcing us into another season in the Championship with a points deduction (just like Bradford). Remaining in the Championship will at best extend our chances of any kind of recovery, by at least one year and probably longer.

I doubt any clarity on the situation will be announced until next week. The official ending/starting of player contracts has to be fulfilled first. No point speculating or guessing what will be at present, until the truth unfolds next week.

If only we knew who 'the club' is these days. All the board and the coaching staff are away on holiday so none of them seemed to be too concerned about what's happening.

When do you suggest they take a holiday ??

And if you think that activity has not been going on for some time, and still continuing despite "all" of the being away then I would suggest your thinking is incorrect

None of them concerned

Yes, I would say if redundancy is on the line the last thing would be a holiday. Unless you knew different.

You can only make paye redundant, and how many of those do we run with today.

Does it matter if you are cards in or not! Either way your livelihood is still at stake.

Notable achievements in past few years. League leaders, first club to win promotion via middle 8's, victorys against Wigan saints Wire and hull in SL amongst others, 6500 average gate higher than championship winning season, virtually no debt outside director loan - pretty damn good return for a club of our size

You seem very positive and well informed about the clubs debts I am sure many fans on here would be very grateful if you could give us a breakdown and also inform us why the accounts due September 30th 2018 for the period up to December 31st 2017 now marked overdue by Companies House have not been submitted.

That brilliant success has led to this massive decline.

The future is bright

True this

I hate the words Whipping Boys, but unfortunately it looks like we will be the team everyone looks forward to playing next season.

This week's League Express features every Championship Club and who they are signing for next year, our small feature looks at our departures,it seems we targeted 3 Swinton players but all decided to sign again for Swinton.And KP is again reported to be interesting Widnes.My question is what players will be left for us to sign?It's frightening.

Loads left, we'll be reet
