| Quote: SRW1996 "Quote: SRW1996 "I've been reading this thread with interest and whilst I applaud SRW1996 and believe his intentions are honourable, I think it would help matters if he made himself known to all. I appreciate others already know but the 'ordinary' prospective investor won't, so perhaps he should make himself known so that these people can decide whether to trust him or not.
I'd really love to see something like this for the club but TBH I wouldn't give it 6 months before everyone starts moaning and bitching and falling out about every decision that's made. Also, would the new investments be enough to pay for a new CEO and all the other staff we'd need (most of which we currently get for free).'"
Firstly in response to who I am:
Andy Mazey
Managing Director
S R Waite Electrical Contractors Ltd
In response to your second question personally i believe Trevor Barton is an asset but is lumbered with an old dead horse he's flogging like mad. I also believe alll the people who are working for nothing are the lifeblood of the club and the cornerstone of its future and I commend every single person whatever they do whoever they are there wouldn't be a club without you all
Hi Andy, it certainly does and thank you.
(Personally, I can never take anyone seriously when they feel the need to hide behind a username like some on here do).

I understood your request.
Like I say I've got no hidden agenda or history with anyone at the club past or present and will say on here what I'm willing to say to anyone's face it's the way I operate.
Conflict won't get anyone anywhere Trevor knows my views though I've heard nothing from him of late and so do others at the club.
It ay be seen as idealistic and pie in the sky but if enough people want t and believe in it who knows?
Is there a better RL town than Leigh to own and drive its own clubs fortune I ay biased but I don't think there is.

No ther isnt.
The TDC,LISA and the PSG prove that to me,also all the fans who tipped in thousands of ££££s on top of there usual outlay at the back end of 2011 and 2012 to keep the club alive

| Sounds good and year one would probably work out ok its what happens 10 years down the line but I guess that would need to be included in the plan.

| Mish isn't it a requirement on here to have a username?
Now since its infancy the majority have chosen a non-de-plume on here myself included, no malice intended by it.
Anyway back to topic it seems a great idea.

Agreed all of these things plus the lottery etc give the club a fantastic platform to go forward with and what better way for fans to know they actually have a voice and are not just a number than to launch a new suporter owned club?
I've read about the touchdown club and spoke to people about it and same with LISA what a great bunch of people.
Also what about the guy who runs the market stall some of the things I've been told about his efforts should be highlighted more than they are.
Some of the messages I've received today and tonight give cause for optimism.
I think if the fans were party to financial info via minutes of meetings and knew how things really were in a club were they knew fellow fans on the terraces were custodians also they would be far happier to trust board and the board would feel under far less pressure to gamble on budgets to agree contracts it can't really afford based on its current gates and overheads.
A realistic budget next year under new fan ownership could work and set a platform to build on year in year out. Get the feel good factor back and the bandwagon rolling again.

| You know what I mean BS.
On a site like this, a lot of people know many of the other users personally or have been around for an age but when a relatively new poster comes along asking serious questions about the club, I don't believe anyone could take them seriously if they weren't willing to reveal their identity.

Don't be throwing stones at my windows tonight then
If you don't wish to disclose who you are on here PM me if you would I'm curious mate.
Thanks for the positive words.
I think putting aside the nitty gritty we all want the sae thing deep down.

And what about the historic debt owed by the club? This would have to paid off wouldn't it? Would this come from the cash from the new investors or are you planning on sacking that off and starting afresh? (Wouldn't this then stop our SL ambitions in it's tracks?)

| Surely by now any fan with SL ambitions realises we are a decade away anyway. I would put fev and fax in before us and maybe even Batley tbh. With the current model I just don't see us being at that level. we need to turn the train around first and that needs new track.

Ha ha surprised you haven't heard me tapping away at he keypad all day your so close.
I felt from the tone of your previous message we were very close.
Short walk for both of us to LSV from here.
Will have to have a chat over the garden fence now the weather is showing signs of improving.

As things stand at the moment the real danger is, if they go to two leagues of 10,and we miss out on one of those spots
