The last 2 videos I've seen of the owner were 1. where he says Ealing is perfect and 2. When he basked in the glory of the Toronto win.

The harsh reality is that he will never admit he is wrong. NEVER. As such, He has killed the thing he tried to build.


Northern Bloke and others will come on here and say "without him we'd not have existed" but the reality is as a club we've not existed since about 2013.......he'd employed Gus, pi55ed off harlequins RU, spat his dummy, cost us our SL status by not sourcing a squad for 2014 until January 2014......all entirely of his own doing.

If he's refused to do as the RFL wanted in 2007/8 when IL bought Wigan, we'd still be at The Stoop, we'd still be in SL and we'd still have 4k fans, but he didn't....the narcissist in him got to own the club and he liked that so much he was never going to have anyone ever tell him how to run his club!

For 2 decades I've defended the club from Northern Fans citing imaginary payments and "special treatment". I've pointed out that they (mostly) play in hovels of stadiums or rented from soccer clubs, they've had 100+ years and attracting 6k is nowt to crow about and I've fiercely defended our right to play the game, but not any more. David Hughes has brought us to this point and I make no bones about pointing the finger of blame solely at him!

As for a "plan". There never was a plan. The Move to Wimbledon, like the reverting to the broncos name & the move to Barnet were designed to protect the wage thief at the club.....how the fark he ever got a job again in sports admin is a mystery, but he again didn't last long there.

So don't expect the CEO, Commercial Manager nor Club owner to give you the heads up, because there's no plan. The Academy is the only asset the club has and once we fold, the pathway will be lost to Union unless the RFL see the benefit and bankroll it. Surely a strong London pathway is more important than an extra yeard and a half on the oddslum pitch?

Quote from the interview
Carney: " did you ever see or hear of a strategic plan For London during your 14 years as a player and coach at the club"?
Ward: "No"
Further evidence of there only being one point if blame for the shameful waste at the club

sorry....we're a profess.....sorry, we were a professional SL club and no matter what the RFL did or didn't do, the bloke stuffing £1.5 million a year into a black hole should maybe have realised he wasn't immortal and that we weren't Real Madrid.
The Fact that Danny Ward, the coach that got us up and nearly kept us there on a shoestring, had never seen any strategic plan....from anyone.....SHOCKING!

Absolutely, its just depressing it doesn't come as a surprise to us even if it did to Carney.

To be honest I think Brian was feigning surprise
