Thanks 'Sir Kev'. That is just a small part of a lengthy aricle written by DB, and appearing elsewhere on this forum.

Thanks mate but I live halfway around the world and posted on this before you. I do appreciate your desire to keep us all informed though.

Why do you think asking this question on here would result in anything like a genuine answer ?

Good evening Sir Kev!
The latest I heard was that a bit of a bidding war is developing, between a Saudi sheikh, a Russian oil oligarch, and a Texan property billionaire, who is rumoured to be high up in the US government. I believe the snag with the latter candidate, is that he insists on total control!! |

What, you mean to say you aren't a Saudi sheikh?

I am very positive about 2019, it will be a new dawn, the phoenix will rise again. We will be in C1 as a new club with cash in the bank and no debt playing out of Athy Colls rebuilding for a stable SL future in 2021 back at LSV

I have amassed a very healthy number of Tesco Clubcard points, if we all pool ours together + my Sainsburys & HMV points we could mount another challenge on Super Dooper League !

With respect Neil, that scenario would represent one of the most spectacular failures in our illustrious history - from Super League to League 1, in one year. Surely, our owner wouldn't want to be remembered for that?
Throughout his tenure, we have been encouraged, by some contributors on here, to "enjoy the ride." That's tantamount to tempting us up to the top of the precipice, to "enjoy the view" and then tipping us over the edge, shortly after arriving there!
Having experienced, at first hand, the previous, recent, financial disaster, I would much rather we were able to survive in the Championship, in our present 'home.' I have a nightmare vision that, once we move out, we would never get back - and that would be very much, the beginning of the end. The stadium at LSV, is intended to be for the community of Leigh, is it not? In my view, all options need to be explored, to ensure our continuing tenure there. A good start would be for the 'interested' parties to talk to each other! |

After being de-briefed on tonight's LISA meeting it seems the LSV is just as difficult to deal with as it has ever been Alan , a fantastic facility , but ultimately something that will continue to hold back the club |
