Group therapy time?

Eccles at least talking about us still existing in his post match interview. V cagey about whether he'll be there which is wise from him, but a shame.

Could be a very small group Lefty! Thought at one stage he was getting a bit emotional & who could blame him. Despite a litany of mistakes by Hughes since he had control of the club, as Orange frequently reminds us, this current position is totally of the RFL/IMG's own making.

It is beyond me why some teams signed up to the patently daft criteria put forward by IMG, but they did. Hughes needs a slap for that because that was the time to push.

Who in their right mind thinks Social Media presence is more important that developing young players? Who the hell given how large Leeds' catchment area turned out to be is fair if we apparently only have the Borough of Merton? How objective is a 3 year evaluation period when SL has run for 28 years? Then the final cherry on the cake, implement the changes from the following season giving one club & only one club no chance to remain in SL?

Hughes failed to join the furore when it was at it's height, then threw his wobble when everyone else had lost a bit of interest. I'm not aware of, but may have missed it, that the morons responsible have ever tried to justify any of the selection criteria.

Anyway, unless Hughes wants to waive goodbye to his millions, he has to continue in the hope that somebody at some time will buy him out. As it stands, the club assets are a few players who seem to be signed for next year, goal posts & balls. Not unlike Roy & Barbera Close in 1984 & its only taken 40 years to get back to that. A dark room to lie down in I think. If the club survives, hope Cake stays as he has done better than I thought he would but guess Sheriden will be off.

A big day this coming Monday. The club is to be put up for sale on that day. What there is available to sell I do not know.
It is said that at least one party is interested, but further offers are being sought.
I am keen to hear what will be said come Monday and from whom. I am sure fans would like situation explained and to find out
if the club has a future.
Perhaps the RFL might even give us a few words, who knows?
One thing for certain, David Hughes has done the money that he put into the club. All nearly thirty Million of it.
We will just have to wait and see!

Thanks for the update Victor. Not entirely surprising although the fact that you and the match commentator have provided more clarity than the club about what’s going on is pretty standard these days.

Will we ever know why Hughes voted for the ranking system that was always going to see us excluded from SL. Maybe he just wanted an out or perhaps this is just the latest in his series of dummy spits ?

The thing is, we were not expected to be in SL this season (though deserved to be). When the vote was made, surely we would have been planning on being a Championship side. The squad assembled for this season clearly suggests we had expected to be playing in the championship. How would we have fared in that league ? Let's say we finished in the top 3. Would Hughes still be putting the club up for sale ?

I appreciate Hughes has put in a lot of money but not in a particulary effective manner. He is clearly leaving the club in worse shape than when he took over as sole owner.
