He going nowhere till end of season he hounouring investment just like his mate at Salford did monkey see monkey do

I assume some players have 2 year contracts? Will we be able to afford them next year???? Also will a coach sign a top coach sign a 2/3 year contract with the uncertainty ahead????

If not then we will be another Bradford no decent coach in right frame of mind would come to this shambles at he moment. Why you think Baptiste was let go cause he was on massive bucks and bring the wage bill down

If he does go then he will never be able to show his face in the town again. He would be forever labelled a failure and a quitter. And I would really fear for the future of the club.

At the end of the day, late tries in two games could make a massive difference to this club.

Or maybe cause he wanted to go back home to earn bigger corn, not as if Higham will be playing for free, and who’s to say we won’t Replace baptise in some other form, what’s your source on DB? As last week he was saying how committed he is and said it again on BBC manc through the week. Aren’t you the guy who swore blind we where replacing Salford in superleague just over a few weeks ago? That that was 100% going to happen?

This is the guy that publicly stated many times that he's in it for the long haul and will be putting Leigh on the map. Letting the world know how he's building a robust infrastructure for the future with grandiose plans of academies and conveyor belts of talent. Looks like he was naively banking on Rowley being here indefinitely when all of this was said. And what about promising last years squad on live TV that all of their jobs were safe whatever happenened in the MPG, but 2 weeks later most had gone -- post relegation?

Last week became apparent he's like Trump! It's everyones fault but his, and publicly insulting paying customers. Massive error in judgement.

How about a better response this week and showing a bit of responsibility for personally making some shocking decisions and releasing one of your embellished press releases on how you intend to put it right ASAP?

Easy when you're winning and making profits.

Rugby club - profits????????????

If he’s gone the only option is bankruptcy. Why would anyone take over the current contracts.

What is true is that we once had an excellent coach, a team with wonderful spirit playing champagne rugby, a set of fans who were at one with the players and the coach. All of that has been systematically dismantled and we are now going to spiral into Champ1 but we will survive and rise again. May take a few years but Leigh RL is bigger than 1 man.

I'm referencing the benfactors business, not his hobby. This situation is evidently new and painful and he's feeling sorry for himself. However if you give it the Mr. Big Shot in public you better be able to take it when it gets rough. How about riding the storm and using the so called business and marketing skills to respond accordingly and rallying the troops. We're only on a 3 consecutive game losing streak, promotion is still possible.

I think only Leeds actually make a profit. DB's pumped the money in, previous to SL and 6k average crowds. He's quoted as saying £750k per season to run the club. Even after a parachute payment of £500k along with central funding of £800k. To invest £750k per year must take it's toll.

Fair point.

Absolutely, our destiny is still in the players' hands for the next few games, at least. No point in criticising the fans. The players should be good enough (based on their NRL experience and the money they are earning) to be beating oppostion teams without ANY fan support! However, if Derek walks away, all is lost because we simply would not be able to compete at the level we have recently become accustomed to.

The LSV is not a Championship 1/bottom half of the Championship stadium.

We are we're we are some decent players released but let's give KP a chance to turn things round, hopefully will assert himself as he seems to have done with some decent team changes this week and start pulling this team together with DB backing him.

KP is caretaker manager for a reason.
