| Quote: WYSIWYG "It annoys me that a team gets penalised for showing ambition. Ok, so Des broke every rule going, but those rules are there to keep the Championship clubs down, and as in the case of Leigh and others, with no prospects of promotion then crowds and income go down and your club goes into liquidation.
The RFL say the rules are to stop clubs going bust searching for glory. That's their view. My view is that with no prospect of promotion clubs go bust anyway and then the SL clubs have a bigger catchment area for new players and supporters. It has all been engineered by SKY and the RFL.
That's why I am cancelling my full SKY package and why I have also stopped watching Rugby League after 50 years. It's a complete joke now, but I do think that it will spread like wildfire in London and Wales.'"
You reckon? It's taking a heck of a long time to do that. |

Next up for the " chop " hopefully you lot. if you were a business and had financial problems, as you say you have and could not pay your employees or creditors then, you would do the honourable thing and go into liquidation. I doubt very much if your demise would be felt or cared about by many followers of rugby. Your drunken gobby lunatic followers would not be missed, and that is an absolute certain fact.
I noticed on the news report that you only owe £144,000.00 and that if every season ticket holder / fan of Leigh contributed £10.00 you would be able to eradicate your debt. Where by the longest stretch of imagination have you clowns got 14,400 supporters,if you believe that, then you believe in fairies, goblins and the man on the moon, good God, get real and come on back to this planet.
I guess there will be a sports stadium coming on the market shortly, with planning permission for houses, well you won't need one as you won't have a rugby league team.'"
Genius. Really.

There is only one place to be! Watching The Mighty Leigh!!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47767.jpg |

What a dimwitted excuse for a human you must be Bluethunder! Every rugby fan should be pulling together to make sure that this game that we love still exists outside of SL! People like you are not welcome in rugby or on this board! We Leigh fans are willing to do whatever it takes to ensure our clubs survival and thusly ram your unwanted and unwarrented comments down your throat! What a complete and utter waste of oxygen you clearly are!

Just another thought on the Barrow situation, doesn't this prove that the current rules ie salary cap and no p&r, is stifling clubs who can afford to bring in players if they have the backing. Whatever you may think of Des Johnston, he put his money where his mouth is and was obviously an ambitious guy who wanted to see his club win things. I know the rules were brought in to level things up and stop clubs overspending but even with the rules in place clubs still get into financial problems.

It would appear one of the main problems/gripes is paying out travel expenses and it counting in the Salary Cap.

The salary cap is to allow the likes of Batley/Dewsbury/Sheffield etc who have few fans to compete with ambitious clubs who have fans. It exists in tandem with no P&R under the guise of 'protecting' clubs from themselves, otherwise translated as 'we will strangle you by stopping a benefactor pumping money in because you cant win promotion'.

 A 29 point deduction and an 8 year ban suggest that this goes beyond a couple of mileage claims. |

I think he was the founder of the Gateshead 6. Unlike the others he is probably out on licensce and receiving drugs to hopefully solve his issues. Poor soul.
