Gub just wait and see the outcome it will all be revealed soon enough there is talk of a name change that’s what I’m getting at and that it would not be a bad thing if we did just trying to keep people in the loop

Quote: GUBRATS "A downward spiral ? , from when ? , when we couldn't pay our part time team , and Derek wrote a cheque to pay the wages ? , from then ?

Seems to me we've been successful since he took over , or has our season in SL all been a dream ?

Time to stop all speculating , let Derek get on with doing what he needs to do , enjoy our remaining games , support the players wearing the shirt and see what happens at the end of the season'"


When he was bloody minded, and wouldn't accept NJ resignation after the Widnes game last year,and was adamant that he was the right man for the job so he could keep on interfering which he doesn't do now coz KP won't let him. Thankfully the fans pressurised NJ into resigning after the Toulouse game,and then he had the audacity to call the fans despicable. Oh,and that day cost him a 7.5k fine for his behaviour on SM,and that was after putting that game back an hour which aggrieved quite a few fans. I could go on.

Who of any decent standing do you suggest would take a one year contract, or even a 2 year with a failure clause in it

I'll give you KC, sold him a good un there. Without him I reckon we would have had a good chunk of last of seasons squad and be rubbing our hands in the M8's looking at some SL teams performances

Quote: GUBRATS "Why ?'"


It is notable that the club logo is the coat of arms above 'Leigh RLFC' on an official press release today.

Interesting that, don't you think?

Ian, what i am unsure about is,the 700k & 500k we received. We had to spend that money on players,but did we have to spend it all this season? If we did,you can't blame degsey for spending it,but you can for not spending it wisely. We had a decent enough squad at the end of last season,and i just never understood the culling of that squad which we could've kept more players, and that consequently meant we had to recruit, and dish out 2 year contracts because 1 year contracts wouldn't have been accepted. BTW - It was Marwan who recommended KC to Degsey.

Col , the majority of the playing squad were given 2 year contracts ,which couldn't be honoured which is why a large percentage left,I suppose others like Hutchy, Reynolds ,Dawson, and Evans stayed because they could better the contracts they are on , or couldn't find alternative clubs to go to,

I agree about the players not wanting to take a contract with a failure clause in it, but the person who handed out the contracts shouldn't moan if the plans fail,after all he is the ONLY one at fault.

Derek, I'm not privy to who recommended KC to Derek so I can't comment on that,I'm not sure about the timescale for spending the Central Funding money of the parachute payment,but it caused average playing be paid very good wages,not the players fault, but the Management.
As for the breaking up of the squad, that must be Jukesys idea, I'm sure if KC was at the Club then, hindsight is a wonderful thing, losing at Barrow at the beginning of the season was the start of the bad run, but how did lose at home to Fev and Toulouse?

£460k parachute payment, DB would have had to chuck 40k in the kitty along with the other 11 SL clubs.

No that isn't what you were getting at , if it was you'd have posted " I think we should change our name " , not we will have to change our name

" talk of a name change " , by who ? , who told you ? , Derek ? ' if not then you'll believe anything

" Keep people in the loop " , what so you have genuine guaranteed information from the owner ? , so are we changing name or not ?

Or are you just listening to gossip and then repeating it ?

That's right,and £460k + £40k = £500k which had to be spent on players.

Not saying he hasn't made mistakes , although they are always easier to spot afterwards than at the time , as for the Toulouse game , his opinion , one I both agree and disagree with , I've never booed Leigh , but I did applaud the French

Yes, but all tolled the expenditure on players was £1.7m, so a further investment of £500k was made from somewhere.

Agree with you there Col

Just for the record termination clauses for under performing aren't as far as I am aware on the RFL list of acceptable clauses that can be incorporated into a players contract
