I think you are correct although I expect the youth to survive.

Re the comment the RFL would be content to see us go. To be fair the RFL, and others in the RL world, have bust a gut trying to sort us out. They seemed to have brokered a deal only for it to fall down due to decisions beyond their control. It had reached the stage where the RFL wanted it sorting, they wanted a vote on us at the EGM suggesting they think we have reached the end of the road. If Ian Lenegan doesn't have a trick up his sleeve, or there is a dramatic change of heart from our financers,they are probably right.

Re the youth. My understanding is that the collapsed deal did include clauses that would have secured their medium term future.

Obviously that means little now and I don't have any info about what is going on, if anything, at the moment.

Maybe Ian Ramsdale and guests will be able to shed some light on Sunday afternoon: ianramsdale.tumblr.com/post/6365 ... ondon-94-9

So far no news on Dixon though. When he leaves that will be the ball game I think.

Will try and tune in. That's an important discussion.

Will be interesting, but can't see any serious answers, Ralph Rimmer RFL will sit on the fence and just be positive.

I'm a Wigan fan but London Broncos are my second team. I'm devastated by their present predicament and hope a Koukash can come in to save them. Wigan have a great history but were going nowhere under Maurice Lyndsey and Brian Noble until Lenigan and Michael Maguire came to the club.
London had a generous owner but needed a Michael Maguire. There aren't many around, mores the pity.
Let's hope London rise from the ashes.

My view on this is the the CEO made a major mistake when before the start of last season he stated the Broncos would move from the Stoop which in my opinion blighted the whole season. Together with a team that were under performing, or was this their limit of performance, trying to grow a home crowd was always going to be difficult. Further the CEO has alienated supporters whether it is Broncos or local RL communities to the point where the Broncos as a club are in my opinion dead. It is easy to blame the RFL but the real culprit in this debacle is the CEO and DH who I find it difficult to have bank rolled the club yet put up with individual’s charged with running of the club.
If any one person should have left the club it is the CEO who I believe has been a complete disaster and how he has managed to keep his job is beyond my comprehension. Over the last couple of year since the CEO has been around, the club has moved further and further away from the paying punters, starting with scrapping of end of game awards on the grounds it upset the players, poor scheduling of off field events such as testimonial’s and of end of season awards. For example look at this year’s end of season awards which was a classic on non-communication when fans were informed by text from players that the awards has taken place with little if any general announcement.
We then have the long running saga of the ground, alienating support from Gillingham and totally blanking the Chairman of Gillingham FC and now the rumoured move to the Hive. In my humble opinion the Broncos have been totally screwed by poor management decisions at local level and in its present management structure deserves to die. What I find sickening here is the wreckage left behind and the side lining of long standing and recently recruited fans to the cause of RL in London. The game is too important to let London die but if it does then so be it, the youth section and regional teams such as Hemel and Skolars will be left to pick up the pieces. The sooner the CEO goes the better in my opinion since I generally believe should we manage to put a team out next year I have no confidence in either seeing a competitive team, nor any trust in the management of trying to grow interest in the Broncos.

(But I'm told the curry was good)

Is this the worst way to die, slowly and with no-one knowing? A quick departure would have at least given more time for something to be rescued from the ruins.

This club is not even good at suicide.

I suspect the club has been murdered, put in the boot of a car which is parked at Heathrow by someone who headed for home.

Daffdad, probably the best post on here in an age, think it has nailed it.

Agreed
