| Quote: GUBRATS "For LRLFC , read ' Sporting Club Leigh ' that's the ltd company that currently operates as Leigh Centurions , I assume the majority of shares are currently owned by Derek
Now if Derek wanted to he could have a share issue meaning a set number of shares are made available for new investors to purchase
The problems then arise when the club then needs more money to operate , ie pay some bills , in theory all the shareholders then are obliged to ' cough up ' a set amount per share
Now then ' when some are willing/want to , and others aren't able/want to , you have a problem
For stress free running of a club , no more than 2 primary shareholders will work long term , and in theory they both need to be rich enough for their investment to be incidental to their affluent lifestyle ( essentially just a hobby )'"
I agree, no more than two major shareholders running the club. If there’s more there will be fall outs & disagreement s. We’ve had some great times over the past few years with Derek at the helm, but we now need stability. It’s no use an investor coming on board with the sole aim of super league - no matter the cost then leaving if it doesn’t work out. Perhaps we need someone to spend a reasonable amount of money & we become a mid to upper championship team (like featherstone, Halifax, batley) with no real chance of super league. BUT with long term stability. |

While I agree some stability is probably what we need , the issue with the ' no real chance of SL ' is what that can do to your fan base , and therefore your income going forward , as has been alluded to by Derek and others who are familiar with the ' deal ' , the less fans that come through the door , the more the LSV costs you
A dilemma |

I hope you will not be launching any incentives with Pizza Hut when spending any of that kitty? Did they end up paying us anything ? |

It was meant very much tongue in cheek. It was a long time ago, but even now I still urge my family not to spend any money there.

£255m minus £122m is small fry.. Some would say thats a good investment and money working, not sat doing nothing. |
