How do you see things playing out as part of this end game ? How many years of watching Broncos have I got left.

Depends on the owner & his propensity to throw his toys out of the pram.

If he's a man of his word you've got until 2018.

If Broncos woefully underperform as per usual all bets are off I'd say.

That doesnt really answer my question with anything like the level of certainty and clarity that a man predicting Ealing as part of the end game should be offering. I would have thought you had some inside track to the workings of the club, its plans and the commitments of the executive. You offer some morsels but what if the Broncos marvellously over perform ? Are you suggesting he is not a man of his word ? What toys have been thrown out of the pram, this point I have never really understood ?

The open day is mentioned in the message. First team playing the academy in opposed training match

GF had that & then some & all you lot ever did was shoot him down in flames so don't give me that flannel.

As for toys & pram I give you the Wigan Challenge Cup game.

Hughes destroyed the club in a fit of pique because of that drubbing.

Which is why you'll be using a trestle table as a turnstile next season.

No CN feeds of those who feed him as we are starting to discover. Sadly he has little depth to back up his 'throw away comments' which are typically mischievous and.........

Cowgirl, humour please (sorry WQ).

Back to my original question - what evidence do you have that Ealing is part of the end game ? Please don't behind GF contributions because 1) he typically looked from 'what might have been' perspective and 2) as far as I aware he never offered Ealing as part of the end game.

So come on, can YOU outline how the end game will play out.

In terms of Hughes 'destroying' the club and 'throwing toys out of pram', here again I need to you to help me. Hughes watched his side murdered in a Challenge Cup semi on national TV, without the team offering even a whimper - it was painful for me as a fan never mind for someone who had pumped ££££millions in.

But we sit here today and he still bank rolls the club, not the approach of someone who has thrown toys out of the pram.

So once again, how can you rationalise what you say ?

You're the one rationalising I think.

Hughes destroyed the club.

The fact he had second thoughts doesn't change that.

Looks to me like you are being very evasive here - what evidence do you have that moving to Ealing is part of the end game?

Hughes has been scaling back his investment for years.

If in 3 years time Broncos are still effectively a 3rd tier club do you really think he's going to keep bankrolling failure?

Am interested in the concept here, in the opinion of some on here the current owner of the clhould pack up take his money and walk away from the club see if it can survive without him?
Not sure if I have it right here, is that not what he actually did, and we found out that actually there was no other financial backer and we would have folded.
So he destroyed the club by keeping it alive?

So you would argue this painful decline makes the club more attractive to another investor ?

To get a new backer or investment someone would have had to put the club on the market. Was that actually done?

Buzza I would not argue that at all, I would say that when an investor was required a couple of years back when the club was in a much better position not many appeared,! In fact no one appeared.
Taff I don't claim to know that, although I would suggest that had another backer stepped up then they would be the proud or not so proud owners.
Does not take away the fact some are suggesting Mr hughes should go, he got close to doing that the club was within days of shutting down.
Maybe being at Ealing is trying to get the club into a position where a new owner might see it as viable, less outgoings etc etc.

Oh was that the time when we had no players and no ground. A bit like burning your house down before trying to sell it.

DH really sealed our SL fate then didn't he.
