Bank of ireland own the ground and if i remember right then they let all there players go,i cant remember any fees changing hands.

In the current recession HMRC has a Business Payment Support Service: introduced by the Government in 2008. It said that all SME's with cashflow issues should be able to get a time to pay arrangement with HMRC.

My assumption is that this is either a wind up or the club have offered a fraction of the amount owing instead of agreeing the payment plan.

I was told that Ainscough would rather put his or hers money directly into youth rather than funding a professional sports team. Personally I find that thinking very comendable. Firstly it's the youth of today that really does need a lift and secondly why should anyone fund a company that is ruled by a bunch a dicks?

Heard a few months back that Ainscough was interested. Hope he goes through with it

Don't think they are anymore.

Ahh that's a shame. Forgot which Aiscough it was now. I'd hate for Leigh to go into administration.

It hasn't done wakefield any harm.

From what I was told, 2 in the running both mentioned on the thread

So they are going to buy the club as a going concern which will see us minus how many points and build it from there. Do we need this kind of investment if they can't come in and rescue us now. What will thay save £100,000. If they need to save that then they are not what we need.

Does it matter if we start on minus points?

OK, it unticks the box for SL, BUT there is no relegation next season .

Spot on and did Widnes no harm

Does it affect your SL application tho? I thought they changed it to just at points deduction? Wakey and Widnes didn't seem to be troubled too much by it.

No it doesn't

Super League was a millions miles away to begin with, now it's even further. As mentioned on another thread, you need assets to go in to administration and it's debatable as to whether we have any.
