Just like to say thanks for the last 3/4 years Derek , its been a blast , we were so unlicky on so many occaisions last year

All the best for the future , I doubt we'll find somebody as generous as your good self

Nice words BIEL ....

Please don't take my £5 comment as a side swipe as it was never meant to be, just a post I saw on Facebook !

I really enjoy both the banter & the game day experience with Bulls fans & a small consolation (if we are not relegated by Administration) is that we will enjoy these games again next year, that + it would be nice to see some away fans & a 7K + crowd or 9K at Odsal !

Glad you've finally got rid of that poundshop Koukash, he was a disgrace to your club and rugby league in general. Hopefully you manage to get some humility back and develop a proper club over the next couple of years instead of the overpriced journeyman the clown brought in to try and buy success at the expense of the game

Really gutted for you guys, the brief Leigh Bulls rivalry was fun, although DB and Marc Green tried to spoil it.

If you go into liquidation, I really hope you get a clean start, not the one that the RFL handed us, -12 points, no players and in the championship where we endured a horror season. If a liquidation I hope you are given a 0 point start in league 1, you then have a chance to build momentum with a squad of players suited to whatever budget you can cobble together

Who's this Bell End /\

Somebody who wants Leigh to survive and thrive in the long term, that's something you would never achieve under the control of that throbber who offers people fights on social media and countless other things. You're better off shut of him

Bitterly, bitterly disappointed with this shambles! When the one-man band ousted the rest of the consortium and embarked on his journey, I felt there was only one way for it to end - it was just a question of when. We were encouraged to "enjoy the ride" but that's not easy, when you know it's going to end in a car crash!

But we were very close to achieving something like SL sustainability last year Alan , think back to how many games we were competitive , and how many we werent
Not forgatting some abysmal reffereeing performances and some just plain bad luck with injuries and suspensions
We were close to being able to establish ourselves
But it wasnt to be and we are here again , not for the 1 st time , probably not the last
the new year will hopefully bring with it new hope and optimism , you never know we might win a shield before then

Just waiting on a few of the old reserve squad to get back off their hols. Will have a team for Sunday and then a few amateurs/ex-Leigh reserves week after.

You surround yourself with clowns don’t complain your life’s a circus.

We will be back.

Good players Mitch and Sam will do a job

I’m very disappointed in the timing and style of DBs announcement even though I get the business side of it for him personally. It appears to me to be solely for personal benefit (as in mitigating any more personal loss) and not for the benefit of the club as a whole. If I’m wrong, I apologise, but it just looks that way from the outside.
That said, under Derek’s control I got to see a dream that my Dad would get to see Leigh make it back to SL and that I would be with him for the first game. Both those things happened when I was beginning to think they never would, and his last ever game was our first win which I also got to see with him.
So all in all I say thanks for trying Derek. It almost worked and along the way you made some people very happy for a while.
I hope there is more benefit to the club in how this last 24 hours hasn’t gone down than I can currently see.
Regardless I will be tuning in on Sunday for my usual breakfast game, I will cheer on whoever wears our shirt (even if they can’t hear me and I will continue to support our club in any way I can through the rest of this and our future seasons.

Totally agree about the timing and it seems unnecessary and over-dramatic. Surely he has a job to do until the end of the season to get us into the best place possible?

Maybe he sees this as the best way to do that - offloading large contracts to make us financially viable and a better prospect for potential new owners

One word. GUTTED. Lets hope the timing of this just might mean there is interest already out there.

Which begs the question why we didn't hang on to the majority of that team?
