Quote: ColD "So becaus Monty says so it's taken as gospel is it, as much as I value his comments and believe he has some inside info he has been known to be way off the mark

And IF we did then maybe we offered what we think he is worth, not necessarily what we can afford, if someone offers more then that's there choice. Hopefully all part of the lessons that have been learned'"


Why did you ask then?

Quote: Montyburns "Joe digby miners and yes he a good player will mix it in championship would of been a good local lad to have on board if that’s the way we are going the best amateurs but if you can’t even land them then times are hard'"


Why would any lads from Miners or East sign for Leigh at the moment? If he's going to stay on, first thing DB has to do is regain some credibility. Not sure how he's going to do that (maybe start by settling up with 2018 squad).

But as for signing young players, chances are, if there is a 3 year plan in DB's head. It's probably to get young players on the cheap to start with, then replace with "stars" when he feels there's a chance for SL. I wouldn't exactly be reaching for a pen!

The answer to the original question is probably none of last year's squad will be there this coming season. I'm sick of being negative now and what lever happens I will be there supporting which ever lads have the shirt on. Being realistic we will probably struggle to get off the bottom with a lot of players already contracted elsewhere next season. The silence is deafening from the club at the minute but there will always be a Leigh centurions and whichever league that is in, ill be there! I hope we do start to hear of some signings soon.

Indeed Jason , we know things aren't great and could get a whole lot worse yet , but whatever happens you support your club , but constantly seeing the same crap regurgitated time and again by people who claim to support their home town club is tiresome don't you think , it's just sport , it's not ' Life or Death ' , the world won't end if we get relegated or not make the top 5

Some only seem happy when things are like this , ' fans ' , you have to wonder at times ?

I agree I’m certainly not enjoying the way the club going at the moment things got to start to look up

Lets make a start here and now. The club belongs to its stakeholders, the fans - the business belongs to the shareholders. Without fans there is no point carrying on, owners and players and coaches come and go, fans are the history the present and the future. Lets be fans and deal with whatever is next as fans, united, strong and committed.

But the club appears to have no respect for us, the fans. Can't even tell us when our coach has gone. At this rate next season will be a farce and well will have to stand and watch.

But what can fans do? We can't buy season tickets, and we don't know if any money spent would be going to a company about to fold, or a company that we can support next season.

I know stuff has to happen behind closed doors, but a bit more info from the club could give fans something to rally behind. Targets for LISA, agreements to sign for season tickets etc... But, as fans, we have nothing to get behind.

This is spot on.
All we have is what other fans think or have heard might happen.

I hear the arguments about staying upbeat and information will come out eventually however I don't think its disloyal to ask what is happening especially as the guy who was in charge of the club (and may still be)stated an update would be forthcoming weeks ago!

I don't want to know players wages, contract negotiations etc however I do want to know where we currently stand as a club and if we will actually exist next season.

Currently it's guesswork and people after seeing the unprecedented situation of the club not having enough players for the Shield games and reports of the LSV and players owed money will rightly think the worst.

I think most would like to have a bit more information than nothing at all as currently that's all we've got!

If the guy who owns the majority of the club, the same guy who funded the venture to SL. The said person also has earned the right to speak when the time is right.

Some right nob heads postings on here.. Possibly you should return to social media where you belong..

Wow, glad I didn't post that one! icon_wink.gif Surely Jenky is only expressing a view, on a public forum - one that I suspect is shared by many others?
