Wire Quin at work:



When Bradford were going under the RL community came together and tried to support them. Protection of players from poachers initially, fundraising etc

Has this happened at Leigh, No. No one really cares. The tone of your club has been set by leadership and what a throbber he is.

DB has many faults, and I'm often critical, but think any unfavourable comparisons with Marc Green are nonsense imo. DB taking action before selling season tickets for example...

Any comparison with Bradford is not accurate. DB might have spent big to push for SL, but my understanding now is that he is taking pre-emptive action ahead of a known funding gap that he doesn't want to bridge, in a transparent way. Whereas at Bradford various owners kept spending when they knew they didn't have the funds and drove us into the abyss.
Hopefully whoever takes over from DB wont be left with unmanageable debt or wage structure and you can rebuild in a sustainable way.

Its always the risk relying on one man to keep funding over and above what the club earns, but at least he appears to trying to leave without leaving more liability than he has to, and Im no DB fan but if he's going to leave that's the least worst way to do it I suspect, so fair play.

Good luck, try not to listen to the idiots revelling in your trouble and hopefully we'll see you at Odsal next season to renew our rivalry!

All the best to you Leythers for the rest of this year and the future. Hope you get someone who can come in and steady the ship and keep you as competitive as possible on the pitch within what the club can afford. Anyone taking joy or finding amusement in the situation are not rugby league fans as no one should take joy in what's going on. Good luck at the weekend, would love to see you end up in the 4 after it all to give you a head start financially for next year

Let’s hope they would spend it more wisely than the financial head start they got this season.

Again GFB as I asked Norman. Will you return to fulltime next season?

Not unless we get in to SL, which you can get very long odds on. I doubt the club has the money and the move from part time to full time would mean a whole new squad and probably paying over the odds for left over full time players that none of the other teams want. Obviously you can bypass all that if you have someone willing to pump a shed load of money in but we don't.

So basically survival of the club dictates progression. But as you say IF you got back into SL that would change.

Survival of the club has to dictate progression. Too many teams have tried and failed with boom or bust and at Fax we have seen it a few times. Ive no idea how we progress to the next level though, it has to be about getting people through the gates.
