Very true Mick,I really thought Derek would have stayed,shows you what I know,it was always on the cards,but I thought he may have toughed it out with the rest of us,I know I will be there on Sunday and next season with my season ticket.
For me the blame lies with Derek, the players, Jukesy, and the Coaching Staff in that order, Derek signed these players on inflated contracts,the said players werent up to the level needed,Jukesy had a terrible start, again Derek's fault for not getting shut sooner and the Coaching Staff ,well you only have to watch our last 2 games,not 1 player able to tactically kick.
Indeed it's a sad day,we have been here before,we need the fans to stay loyal,we all are hurting right now, but remember the Alamo. ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)

I know that Mick, ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif) I sincerely hope Fax do well in the coming 8s, may even venture down to the Shay to watch, depending on the Leigh fixtures.

| The strange thing is Leigh are not 100% out of top four contention yet. Why not wait until Sunday teatime? Strange things happen, I just hope if it did it dosen't involve Fax.

| Very sorry for all you Leigh fans. We were in an even worse position not too long ago and know just what you are going through. Really hope a new owner can be found to take you forward.
Absolutely no sympathy for Beaumont. He came over as a big headed loud mouth. Seems he is just another successful business man who loses his rational thinking when making decisions about the club he loves. Football and rugby have seen too many of those over the years.

Transfer deadline would have passed by then so it would have been too late to reduce the wage bill.
As a Bradford fan I just want you Leigh fans to know that you have my sympathies. It hurts to see the club you love go through this but just know that it got as bad as it can ever get for Bradford and we're still here, so it's not all doom and gloom.

| Not the first time we've been here and may not be the last. All we can do is buy the tickets, attend and sing. It's what the North Stand if for.

Spot on ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif) I have looked at the crowds Bradford have been getting recently and they are impressive, I think it was 6,000 for the York game,so it shows keep the faith .
I think we should look at Bradford as an example of what can be achieved,it's now important to get someone to take over then get a Coach and players who want to do well for the Club, not just for cash,it can be done.

| Bang or Bust and that was never a way to run the club.
All those people who said that once Arthur Thomas passed away the club should never be allowed into the hands of one person again where absolutely correct.

| You Leythers will be fine. The true supporters will stay and support regardless of what happens, after all you've been here before (haven't we all). The 'glory hunters' may disappear but I don't class them as die hard supporters. You've every reason to be pi**ed off with DB and some of his decisions but you have also had a great ride over a the last few seasons that a number of Championship clubs wish that they could have had. Fax have been there on many occasions so you have my sympathy, but many of you have tasted it before and know how bitter it is.
I wish you all the best and I know that Leigh RLFC will come through it and come out of the other end in a good place. You won't be the last club go go through this.

| When I was an RL fan I used to love Leigh, the passion and hatred(good natured) shown when I visited HP a couple of times is what sporting rivalry is all about.
Best wishes for the future, RL isn't all about Super League imo and im sure you guys will come back stronger & more sustainable
Regards Peter.
