Not sure it’s ‘sell’ more like leave by the river in the hopes so itinerant bargee picks them up and goes off with them. What a revolting development this all is but I have to say even the impending collapse of the club doesn’t leave me as depressed as those first few games in 2022. What a load of old pony.

That's a pretty short exit statement. I'm not dissapointed he's gone because he has taken the club backwards. I hope someone comes in and can build us back up but sort of seems unlikely. To that end, I would hope the club has been looking for new investment for some time otherwise there is a lot of work to do if the club is to continue.

I'm guessing that the owners of Ebbsfleet are keen to take over.

Our season ended on Friday so good to know. Better late than never I suppose. I’ve seen more timely bankruptcy notices. Shambles.

I could have reworked it for him. ‘I left 3 days ago. Sort it out amongst yourselves. Ta ra’. Didn’t even put the boot into IMG. I think this is the definition of a dummy spit. Shame really but what can you do. RL is in a precarious place generally.

Women's team season isn't over.

You may have to break it to them that it has!
Seriously I think his decision is perfectly reasonable but as is often the case, the way he has gone about it seems ‘sub-optimal’ unless it’s all been professionally handled behind doors and we, the fans, simply didnt really need to be told the club had gone. Which I suppose is fine. BTW to prospective buyers. The front door key is under the mat. Milk bill has been paid until Wednesday.

Tough game against Leigh coming up Sunday but I'm sure they will give it 100%. Whoever wins has a great chance of going up to SL as I suspect both are better than Featherstone.

Am not sure what people expected. It's far from a dummy spit, we all knew this was coming. For some they will be happy that he has decided enough is enough, as for potential new investors there does not seem to be any news on that front.

Can’t say as I’m sorry that he’s quitting- looked to me that nearly every time he had to make a decision he made the wrong one for the club - but WTF happens now?

No owner.
No potential investors.
Only about half a dozen players under contract.
And we were relegated at the weekend.
If it wasn’t for the list above I’d probably be celebrating!

After 27 years could the words ‘Hughes’ and ‘professionally handled’ ever appear in the same sentence?

If we work on the basis that this terse exit is all in order and not a bit childish, I assume we have been sounding out options. Does anyone know exactly when we have to tell the RFL we can’t meet our commitments to complete a season. I assume we are signing no one. I assume we have nowhere to play. I assume we are doing nothing about engagement, comms, season ticket prices etc. in other words what has happened is akin to an insolvency/gone bust situation rather than a mature passing of the baton. I think it’s reasonable to call that a dummy spit. I don’t know why the official statement didn’t have a heading ‘are you happy now IMG you have killed all our hopes and a picture of a crying child’ I really do think this is a shabby way to go about things.
I’d expect if we don’t hear something within next couple of weeks that is that. Even if we do it’s pretty obvious that next season is likely to be a shambles where we struggle to avoid relegation to L1. So that’s hardly building on the work done (finally) to do some effective engagement with fan base. Crazy, crazy way to go about things but they’re we are.

I was told at the weekend that one group have shown an interest in taking on the club.
They have previously had an involvement with the club. Whether it is true, or anything comes of it who knows.

Doesn’t look great does it? Sad that the last game was a complete and utter pasting away from home. I suppose AFC know we’ve pulled the plug?
