Unlikely j-i-c,its more likley to be a donkey with a little mexican sat on it.

A knight will do me with a ten year plan.

It doesn't matter how long the plan is for , if it doesn't work , nine years ago I sat at the table in the MM bar and said we were there for the long haul , if in ten years we still had a Leigh Centurions club then we would be a success

Well we didn't last ten years , we lasted 4/5 , then we needed bailing out , Arthur has lasted something similar , hopefully whoever cones in will do better than we did , I have my doubts

Whoever takes over at Leigh has a massive job on their hands , and history tells us , they will make a ' pigs ear ' of it , and approximate 4 years down the line , the wheels will fall off and we will be in the same place we are at the moment'"

Well it is a big job.

History is important from the point of view that there are lessons to be learned and the point of it is surely to ensure that the mistakes of the past are not repeated in the future.

Now if a lesson is not learned there would be no point in teaching it at school.'"

because the heart rules the head.

I have my doubts as well but i always find myself thinking if the likes of castleford and huddersfield can have a bit of success then any club can.

Correct , unless you can separate the business from the sport , you will make the same mistakes , you have to ' invest ' as much into the business as you do into the sport , if you don't all you are doing is setting yourself up to fail a few years down the line

What ' success ' ?

Stage 1 will always be to simply get to a few years down the line.

2 CC finals and playoff places for hudds.
Decent crowds and a competitive team for cas.

Funded by how many millions fro ' Uncle ' Ken ?

Similar crowds to Cas in SL at the LSV would see us in financial trouble

Hang on ,one min you say we need 4k crowds,hudds get 7k and its not enough????

This is why i said i'd take a knight with a ten year plan.
We might then have a middle of the road ,stable club to follow, instead of the usual attempt at boom followed by the inevitable bust that always happens.
