| And where's Mike Latham in this mess he's helped to create? He was writing more lengthy press releases than you could shake a stick at in the good times, shouldn't he be trying to steady the ship by at least asking the fans to 'stick with it', or is he abandoning his post too?

Maybe Mike can only say what he's told he can say?

Alan, Mike Latham is the Chairman I must admit I laughed when he was appointed,as a person a very nice guy, as a Journalist and writer, very talented, but a Chairman ,I think he still guests on the TV show Pointless,a lot of folk applauded his appointment, not me, just a guy doing as he was told.
All these reports keep coming out yet the news from the Club is deafening,how will we ever attract players to sign for us with our record?I've heard stories of forfeiting the Fev game on Sunday, surely this won't happen, will it?Cmon Leigh , tell us something,the Fans are so important to a Club. Yet Leigh Centurions ignore us.

The irony to all this is that Mike is a fantastic communicator, Ian - both through the written and spoken words. However, like any good media personality, he is only as good as his script. When he isn't writing that script, and his head 'scriptwriter' chooses not to write one, we get the 'Sounds of Silence' - "Hello darkness, my old friend........!"(apologies to Simon & Garfunkel )

Alan, I've already stated Mike talents, however as far as I know he is still Chairman, but in what capacity?If Derek walks will he stay?What about the other guy ie Steve Openshaw?Are we about to see a clear out?I presumed current contracts end in October but when?So many questions,there is more info coming out of North Korea,Kim Jong could be ready to take over.

| So the statement is now out and at least they've gone to some length to try and explain the situation but it still reads as though it's everyone's fault but their own. Granted there's an apology at the end but they still don't seem to have taken any real ownership of blame.

I agree Gunner,what would Derek do if all his customers agreed to pay x amount for Sundecks fitted to their caravans , then offered him half the agreed priced later?He would last long I business.

| All seems to be the same rubbish of he said she said that we've seen plenty of over at Bradford during our troubles.
There's very little you can do other than grit your teeth, batten down the hatches and hope that you still have a club at the end of it

| You wait for a statement for ages then two concerning our club come at once!
First the Leigh one and now one from the RFL allowing us to sign academy players (with no first team experience), same for Fev.
