| Quote: Harry Stottle "Off course it would, like that nob from the trade unions doesn't already know this, he is one of those little nobodies that if you put in a suit thinks that he is important and peopke can't see through him, perhaps if his tactics go belly up and the players are left with nothing he will overright their losses.
The only truth in all of this is it is those and other players who have already departed are the main reason we are in this sorry mess, to all those who say it is Beaumont's fault, throughout this season DJB never knocked on once, he never missed a tackle, he didn't keep hold when he should have passed, he didn't walk about the field looking half interested, he didn't excecute nothing kicks to the opposition, he didn't get sent off and suspended, what he did do was give these guy's a job and pay them well with good money for the following year, they chose to wipe their ariss on the Leigh shirt, that is were the blame lies not the guy putting his trust and the fans of the club in our town in them.
If they have to leave with nothing so be it, they are responsible for pressing their own self destruct button.'"
Overall I agree with your point Harry , I do believe Derek wouldn't be doing this unless he had no other option

| Quote: Hanibal "It's not the fault of the majority of players left behind, the over paid players have sorted themselves out whilst Beaumont is shafting those players on ordinary money who have bills to pay. I know that the majority of these lads would not push for money past the end of the year however he's trying to get out of paying in November and he's already refusing to pay any promised win bonuses, the union is doing what it does , looking after its members from unscrupulous incompetent employers.'"
No it probably isn't , and since the ' cull ' they've put in very enthusiastic performances which I thank them for

| I will be there as well this squad is worth following and supporting the last game of qualifiers against Sheffield was the best atmosphere all year bar none, the players were buzzing only to find their wages cut. Last rant for now could go on but promise not to.

I don't regard your posts as a rant Hanibal,as I said you are the same as us all entitled to a opinion,I respect all of them.Again I hadn't heard about the wages cut you refer to,a bit wrong after a couple of good results and performances.

| Quote: Centurino "Conversely, he didn't have the courage to dispatch Jukes post relegation. Perhaps he came cheap.'"
I won't disagree with that Centurino nor his faith in Kieron Cunningham either both in my opinion bad moves on Beaumont's part.
But whatever the reason it was up to those players to earn the money they were payed for, if you consider they really tried I will argue the opposite with you forever, with your hand on heart tell me i am wrong in particular the games against TWP 1st up at home, Barrow away, Tolouse home and the finest of the lot Halifax away, then even at the end of the season in two of the last 3 games when points differance still mattered the bottom 2 clubs shipped nearly 60 points in against us!

I was at The Shay for the Fax v Leigh game. Before the match I had a discussion with some Leigh lads which went along the lines of my team is worse than your team, we both expected to get well beaten. As we all know it turned out to be a fairly comfortable win for Fax. After this game both teams improved as the season went on, and it proved Fax had got Leigh at just the right time. The point being it was much the same lads playing for your club post Fax as to who turned in such a shambolic display at The Shay. Summat was wrong and no way did your 17 that day put in 100%. Saying that and one decision here or there and you would have made top four. Fine lines indeed.

| We know what was wrong, the coach who said to his playing staff "im out of my depth and don't know how to fix it" got to control who we did & didn't sign and was kept in a job 12 months too long.
No more no less.

At which point of his tenure did he come out with those comments

Whoever a club signs, those players should give 100%, always. I don't think that could be said of all the Leigh players that day at The Shay.

I was at the Shay pre-Beaumont days when Leigh turned in a shocking display, to see Leigh players laughing behind the sticks following another Fax try to add to their rapidly spiralling total really hurt!
The following week we played Wigan away in the CC and I didn't go out of protest, what I also didn't know was that the Leigh players at Fax had not been paid and, didn't know if they were going to be!
I recall Derek Beaumont standing up and saying; i'll pay the players! the rest of course is history

Charlie your disappointed and annoyed like me and presumably all our fans but, Dont let T***ers like Nosey Parker and his Cynical Editor Danny Lockwood who, wrote a damming Editoral on Beamont the week before bother you they are only printing stories that they know will make their readers chuckle at our demise
Of course Beaumont has made mistakes however, its been his money (mainly) that he has made those mistakes with not yours or, mine!
At the start of the Season can you honestly say you weren't happy with the squad, Beaumont had assembled?
His loyalty may have been his undoing only he can decide that? Many feel Paul Rowley was lucky not be sacked after our performances in the Qualifiers in 2015 when we finished Bottom of the group? Neil Jukes too was lucky not to be dismissed after the MPG!
How badly have we performed this season? we lost five of our first six matches and this has proved to be fatal to Beaumont's plan of an early return to SL ! We have subsequently won 17 of our last 19 league fixtures and soundly beaten SL side Salford in the CC too Those stats will stand up against any club in this country!
We know the fine line that has cost us and, had any of the top four clubs played Toronto three times they too would not be in the Qualifiers! For what its worth, I do feel Leigh are/were the best team in the Comp regardless of how its ended!
I'm desperately sorry the season has turned out like this however, lets not join in with the Gloaters in condeming DB most other clubs would have been happy to have had his backing!

Charlie, the man sat next to Juksey was Cunningham. We can all use Juksey as a scapegoat,but you don't have to be an Einstein to who was getting the bigger wage.
