| Andy you told us last week and the week before what you wanted before you invested a clean sweep off the board room a fresh start all new directors putting the same amount of money up front
Are you now saying this has happened because the club as been silent telling the supporters nothing
If the money is not a substantial amount from each director it will just be eaten up by the bills we have outstanding at present as you well know What the supporters want to know are their any new investors ? Or is this a spin off from the TDC
The team at present is brilliant but if we can’t pay our players and our wages we are in big trouble
We have axed the apprentices costing very little but kept our people on Good Money with a car on the payroll
Andy you’re a business man if you spend more than your income your in big trouble so will one off your first jobs on the board sort this problem out that’s if you can agree with the rest of the investors and the water get cal;m

Difficult to ' berate ' something if you dont know what it is, which just a logo and a dodgy article in the Journal gave not much to go on, now the twitter page has given more info, so thats more like it
As I posted earlier, I was under the impression the apprentices were in some way connected to this foundation, it seems not, I find no pleasure in seeing them made redundant especially considering at least one of them had decided against going to University on the back of being offered a place
So now we will have to see if the new Foundation can fair any better than previous attempts by community initiatives in bringing in new fans to the club , if that is one of its aims?

Nothing has yet been agreed and while I can confirm I have been involved in the on-going talks nothing has yet been agreed or finalised hence no press release or statement at present by the club.
I cant and wont comment on any financial matters or perceived cost cutting measures that have allegedly been made as im not part of the current set up and am unaware of the facts.
Its fair to say the immediate task at hand for the new BOD will be to implement a new/revised short term business plan to cover any debt/ losses with new investment and hopefully this will be helped by our great fans reacting to a new era and coming out in numbers to help the club from now until the end of the season and then beyond to exciting times ahead.
Can I just state since holding talks with Keith Freer it has opened my eyes to the difficult job he has had and the hard work he has done along with Trevor Barton and others in making sure we still have a club to watch.
It is very important once any announcements are made everyone pulls together and supports the club in any way they possibly can. A big gate Sunday will help the club and as proved at Featherstone the players really appreciate and thrive on our support.
Andy.

Andy for me there are NO BETTER fans than Leythers , like most who post on here , i am anxious to hear something positive , to ease the worries we all have , its human nature to get anxious , we just want to hear some sort of news .
As for supporting the Team i agree we need every single fan to turn out on Sunday show their support and appreciation for last weeks performance , and help make a good gate for the Club .

Charlie I hope you appreciate its difficult for me to be saying anything at the moment and its not my place to say anything really just trying to assure fans things are on going.
Need a big gate Sunday that's for sure to build on the lads great efforts of late and great form.
Cheers
Andy

| As I understand it our coach has a car as part of his contact and our new commercial manager has a car as part of his contract these don't come cheap
In answer to the 2nd ? We need 5 new board members putting 20k in
Or 10 new board putting in 10k each
Or 100 supporters putting 1k in
I don't think this would clear our debts but would at least keep us solvent to the end of the season

Do you suggest that we should have got rid of them and kept the apprentices

Factually incorrect and your guess work is miles away.

| What our club needs is more sales. You asked about what do you do if costs are greater than sales, my answer is sell more

Especially when you've cut as far as you can - unless you start cutting the playing budget even further.
