Agree totally, Derek is History now , let's move on,back the lads that want to play for the Club,and do what the LSV does best, turn up in numbers and support the Club.

Bang or Bust and that was never a way to run the club.

All those people who said that once Arthur Thomas passed away the club should never be allowed into the hands of one person again where absolutely correct.

You will get through this lads, come on you Leythers and Up the Fax.

You Leythers will be fine. The true supporters will stay and support regardless of what happens, after all you've been here before (haven't we all). The 'glory hunters' may disappear but I don't class them as die hard supporters. You've every reason to be pi**ed off with DB and some of his decisions but you have also had a great ride over a the last few seasons that a number of Championship clubs wish that they could have had. Fax have been there on many occasions so you have my sympathy, but many of you have tasted it before and know how bitter it is.

I wish you all the best and I know that Leigh RLFC will come through it and come out of the other end in a good place. You won't be the last club go go through this.

When I was an RL fan I used to love Leigh, the passion and hatred(good natured) shown when I visited HP a couple of times is what sporting rivalry is all about.
Best wishes for the future, RL isn't all about Super League imo and im sure you guys will come back stronger & more sustainable

Regards Peter.

Bye Derek - must add Thanks- but so many underachievers!
Next job - stay out of League 2???

Pretty much sums it up LLHKRF. Very poor management on various levels (starting at the top) since Rowley left. I think we all saw it coming and watched it unfold month by month since Jukes took charge. If only big mouth Beaumont had found the courage to do the right thing, at the right time.

The season isn't over yet, embarrassing for some if they reach the 8's...

We won’t make 8s we struggling for a side for Sheffield might just get a team together

If true Monty, an even bigger insult to the fans -- to QUIT before it's mathematically over.

This constant nonsense being spouted in the media about loyalty to Jukes, loyalty to Cunningham, loyalty to players to pay them off big or let them find new clubs. WHAT ABOUT LOYALTY TO THE FANS, the club, the history and the future?

This stinks of a child wanting to be liked to boost an incredibly low self-esteem. I'll pay you crazy money on a long-term deal if you like me! Using the club as a vehicle to get emotional needs met in other words. It's an absolute car crash what we're witnessing.

What a squad we had last year, with many players now performing way above last years incredibly inept coaching level.

Fingers crossed HRJ wins the Euro on Friday, as now we really need it!

shouldn't that be WE ?

I think every Leythers is doing the Euro this week

It is a shame what has happened but you have to say that Derek Beaumont has given Leigh fans one hell of a ride.

If it wasn't for his money Leigh would have been (at best) on par with Halifax and Featherstone over the last few years. Leighs ability to compete with some of the big boys and the fans will have some great memories of the last few years.

In the end it looks like to keep the team going for another year with the same squad would result in a short fall of about £1m. There are very few people in the world that can afford to lose that kind of money and Derek isn't one of them.

His banter with Koucash did a lot to promote the game.

He could have easily pocketed the parachute money and had a toned down squad this year but every effort was made to go back up.

Others at Leigh, including players and coaching staff are not blameless. However they will pay for that with their jobs.

This totally!!

I like everyone else have enjoyed the ride in going to SL and making a fist of it.
With a better coach and a well managed club we should have stayed in SL but that is all now history as we look to just exist next year as without backers the club will struggle..
I'm not sure why the consortium that came in to buy the club and put it on a level footing fell apart and allowed the risk that Derek would become purely the person left holding the clubs fate on his decisions(which have been well intentioned) as once that happened we became a risk.

Not knocking Derek as he's sunk a fortune in but the club cannot ever be allowed to be run by one person as when he gets bored or can't afford to justify the outlay then its shake the collection cans to save Leigh time.

I'm hoping a Plan B is in the pipeline as otherwise this club has learned nothing after going bust in what seems like a rolling 8 year cycle.

Worrying times ahead.

Would be interesting to know what the financial position is. The club was around £1.9m in debt at the end of 2016 It will be interesting to see if DB he rights of his personal debt (£0.9m) and the £1m due to his company. Much smaller amounts that caused MK to call it a day at Salford.

Will be a hell of a problem for new Board if he doesn’t. I wish you guys luck!
