We are now over 2 weeks since the announcement. We have been stripped of our playing assets, we do not have anyone stupid enough to take this challenge on.

What is going on?

The most obvious answer is almost certainly the right one. Not much - having said that it’s pretty much business as usual as per last few off seasons.

My guess:
Comms dept announcing departures.
Possibly a fire sale of old kit, postguards etc.
A message from CEO saying it’s done.

Bobble hats?

I think Kershaw’s had the lot.

Had a glimmer of hope when Mike Eccles turned down another job, maybe something was on the horizon. With the departure of majority of the playing rosta the writing is well and truly onbthe wall I think. Season technically not over yet so bills and wages still being paid I reckon but after next week, who knows. Imagine we have to make a call sometime to RFL will we take part next year.
Personally I think not

Cometh the hour, Cometh the man!

Still time for Donkey Dave to do his traditional volte-face.

The official deadline is probably the AGM of whichever league the club want / are allowed to join. Given the SL line up announcement date, I guess that will be November some time.

Clearly if it reaches the point it becomes impossible for a new owner to field a competitive side, that could well be it for next season. There's a slight possibility the club may be permitted deferred entry to League One in 2026 - remember that was granted to the Oxford / Gloucestershire merger which never happened,,- but I'm firmly in the land of straw clutching there.

I suspect Hughes has smashed up his train set so badly no-one else can play with it.

Sadly I reckon you're spot on.

Obviously we don’t have any details but if we haven’t been beavering around in the background looking for potential buyers then issuing a terse “I’m off” statement together with an “offers welcomed” sign in the window doesn’t seem to me like a credible way you go about selling anything.

I wonder if our folding will give Hunslet the opportunity to take a place in the Championship even if they lose to Swinton.

Interesting way to maybe end your son's rugby league career.

You really think he had a career ?

as an side, I have been checking out various socual media channels and it has struck me how "pro Dave" these are?
This may go some way to explaining why he continued to layer mistake upon mistake over the last few years as well as his dismissal of posters here and the other forum as a "few whiners". The facebook fanpage has a condition of membership that you do not criticise the club, players or staff?????
WTF????
I have been a Glasgow Celtic fan for decades and criticism of the club, players and staff has been a PRE-CONDITION of fandom, long before social media was born. There seems to be a core of a dozen or so who still blindly cheer Hughes for his efforts, but you would have to be mentally deficient not to see that Hughes, regardless of investment or best intentions, has killed the club, stone dead.
As for the future? Does anyone believe that an investor would touch London without cast iron assurances from IMG? It would be like buying a lottery ticket for twice the price and already knowing you've picked the wrong numbers. IMHO, better we drop down now, regroup as an amateur side and rebuild from the bottom up. There is no silver bullet. Long days of hard graft are needed and without Hughes to paper over the cracks with tenners and pay wages to the wrong people, we may just see how loyal these one eyed social media fascists are when it comes to volunteering. They certainly went MIA when they were asked to help out a couple of years back.
Rosslyn Park ir Trailfinders as a base with a view to League 1 in 2026 or 27 would be a start. Aim to get 1,000 paying fans and 500 freebies a week and cultivate the freebies. Engage with the locals, become part of the local fabric and grow organically.

Was using the term loosely Buzz.
