Longest takeover in history,at this rate the syrian conflict will be over before anyone takes over at leigh

No he was on the apprentice scheme but they were all made redundant last friday.

That is a shame, hope he finds training and/or employment soon.

Takeover What takeover?

Fev would be bonkers to go FT in a PT league that has no basis for on field success counting for anything.
The RFL proposals are just that.....proposals.

In terms of Leigh I suppose the players giving 110% effort week in week out has managed to keep the off field stuff out of the limelight (which is exactly how it should be), however the club needs direction and quality leadership if it wants to move forward, I hope things are moving behind the scenes as its been a long time since people started supposedly leaving or moving positions.
Having so few people involved in running a RL club is a bad thing long term, we need a clear understanding of just where this club is heading and what path its currently on as Leigh cannot afford to be left out of any proposals.
We'd need to be a driving force in what happens to our division once the RFL restructuring commences.

Why can't the Leigh centurions community trust Trevors involved with employ Ryan and the others? Anyone know why not?

So were the apprentices part of the Foundation?

So as i understand things correctly, We had an award winning community dept, we didn't commit to said community dept and parted ways.We start a brand new shiny apprentice scheme that has soooooooo much long term development potential for all involved. How long has the apprentice scheme been running for ?. If i have the wrong end of the stick and the community dept and apprentice scheme are not connected and one didn't replace the other then please forgive me as i'm not poop stirring just confused as i thought i read that the apprentice scheme was cheaper to run even though the community dept was run at no cost to the club. I would be very grateful if i could be put straight on this .
P.S Fred this isn't aimed at you i'm just using/quoting your post for anyone who knows to answer.

The community dept was costing the club up to AT s departure, but in March last year a proposal was put to the club for it to operate at nil cash cost from then on ,that offer was declined

As for the apprentice scheme, I assumed it was part of the new Foundation

Thank god it's not just me then Keith.

'Cos I was doing it!

Conspiracy theories abound again??????

Apprentice scheme started some 8 months ago, Community trust founded two weeks ago - all well 'documented'.

Leigh Centurions Community Department closed end of last season - no money-again well 'documented'.

Apprentice scheme closed last friday - no money to pay them - probably.

As for anything else I would suggest contacting Mr Freer as I dont think you will get an answer on here.

Not conspiracies Fred, just confusion, I was genuinely under the impression that the Foundation was an ' evolution ' of the apprentice scheme and would be the organisation that would provide the finances for it , if it isnt, then who is Duffs ' managing ' ?

The community dept, circa 2003/2011 run by Hannah Forbes did bring in a lot of grant funding, but it did cost the club money , how much is open to discussion

Irrelivant now

In truth Keith because of the way the club operates/operated everything goes into one pot and then everything gets paid out, the problem then arrises when there is nothing left and what is seen as either a luxury or unneccessary or unproductive ( in some eyes ) bill has to be paid, then things get confused and complcated
