and what do you do if said players asked if the problems could be diverted whilst they dealt with the personal issues surrounding them ?

You say they're unavailable - you don't make up an injury that has clearly been made up!

Time to agree to disagree and move on

but then you hit the same circle.

Mo , worrying makes you bald chill out Emmitt has gone,another win on Sunday,have a bet at Royal Ascot,happy days.Charlie knows.Global Applause in the first race at Royal Ascot.

Charlie read before you post it helps

You're right. You were right all along. Don't know how I could be so daft etc etc etc

Thank you, but don't beat yourself up too much life is all about learning ......

Well I'm just going to keep right on disagreeing.

Call me old fashioned but I just can't see any justification for lying.

Especially when there are perfectly acceptable alternatives.

Why are you and others so hung up about Jake and all the other issues you are talking about. All of them one way or another are very sensitive subjects to all involved and need to follow various processes before anything can be released. The fact rumours come out is because there are up to 35 players/staff directly involved on most occasions all of which think they can trust people and before you know it the rumours are in the hair dressers, dentists, pubs and play grounds not to mention on here.

The programme was simply a miss print on Jake and the official press release came out the day he left. He did not leave several weeks ago, there is a process to follow on all agreements and any severance agreement can be complicated. The club would be leaving itself wide open issuing official statements on all the topics you mention before anything was legally concluded.

In Mike Latham we have the best communications director in the game, his contacts are unreal, we have regularly appeared on BBC North West news before any other SL clubs which include the biggest in the country.

Communication and Press Releases from Leigh are second to none, how anyone can pick fault with an unpaid member of staff who loves the club, delivers world class service is beyond me.

Some people should really think hard before they type utter nonsense under alias's on forums like these!!

Didn't think it would be long before you piped up. I don't mind having a discussion with Maurice or demon. But I'm not getting into it with a cretin like you

Great reply, is that your best counter argument... Another bitter and twisted alias member of the fans forum...

Bitter and twisted about what???

I made a comment - several pages ago - tat communication could be better at the club. Nothing bitter and twisted about it. You piped up in your usual arrogant way as the unofficial Derek fan club and started talking about hiding behind aliases.

I tweeted the club about Emmitt on Sunday night. People associated with the club know me. I wasn't hiding behind anything and asked a civil question. I find it hard to be civil with you because you've proved your arrogance on here and Twitter countless times.

I'm as entitled to my opinion as you are. If you don't like them, don't read them. Either way, don't waste my time

Last thing I will say on the matter, refusal to use the benefit of hindsight to do improve how you handle things in future is stubborn and arrogant in the extreme. My opinion is claiming injuries when there's something else happening in the background diminishes any credibility in future comms, and just fans the flames of the rumour mill. But hey, let's just keep doing the same thing over and over again. Who needs people to trust that what you are saying is true after all

So your points are civil, yet mine are arrogant - do explain?

who mentioned Derek, you?

Only one person got issues mate and its not me, as for nothing to hide - who are you then?

The arrogance I mentioned refers to several posts and tweets you have made.

Why would I have anything to hide? Does everyone who doesn't use their first name on here have a hidden agenda? Maurice isn't called Maurice, Charlie isn't called Charlie, demon, I'm fairly certain, isn't called demon!

My nickname since I was about 6 has been Iggy. It's a name in known as by everyone except my wife and my mum.

What exactly do you think I'm hiding? If you've got something to say, say it. Send me a PM if you don't want to post it on here. I do t imagine discretion is something you're bothered about though
