Yes just the thread title, little dramatic, remember coming out of Knowlsey Road after Sunday matches when I was in my early teens, a guy outside in grey mac, with a sign "The End is Nigh" many years later the world is still here, you seem to be often glass empty, were I like be half full! both of us will never change, I accept that.

Did you see the charade on Saturday night after the Premiership Final? it was 12 minutes after the whistle before they got around to looking at starting the presentations, when you look around Old Trafford it was virtually empty, then Woods & Berwick were more like Laurel & Hardy presenting the medals and cup, what an image they send out for what some still see as the greatest sport in the world.

Good to see that BARLA, administrators of amateur rugby league have also rejected the Woods Plans, does he not get the message.

It has been 31 days since Hull Kingston Rovers v London Broncos and I'd say that things have got worse than they already were.

With more players leaving in that month period and nothing changing to the matters that were already outstanding, I cannot see many positives emerging from the tattered mess that is the London Broncos. I suppose the biggest positive for 2014 was if there is a club left but I cannot see the club being competitive whatsoever whilst the club remain homeless and almost player less.

Blaming the RFL is incredibly poor as well. Yes, they have managed the game poorly but it wasn't them who held a gun to the head of David Hughes and forced him to appoint clowns and mess the club up.

Moe, I can't really disagree with what you say,you agree The RFL has managed the game badly, but I will defend David Hughes in saying when appoints CEO's or Coaches of the club he does that I'm confident in good faith, his one fault if any is his loyalty to people he appoints.

Have been told today that the funds to run the club will run out in the first week of November. Anyone ANY news of what the f*** is going on??

No.

The club have chosen a very bad time to try and force the RFL's hand. There are much bigger issues at play. We are probably stuffed.

So....we have no ground, no confirmed investors who I suspect require certain assurances from the RFL before they commit, no squad to speak of, not allowance to recruit more foreign players and apparently, from the end of this month, no more funds with which to pay our admittedly small wage bill.

The RFL have said they will not discuss anything (in public at least) until after the RLWC 2013, which ends about 30 days after we run out of cash. I suspect that Bradford's new owners will be ratified shortly, as the RFL need to protect their investment, but other than that, I believe they will be quite content to let us disappear.

Now, as passionately as I have defended this club from assaults and attacks by the northern masses over the years, I am actually of the opinion that it might be best if we were consigned to the knackers yard now, rather than have this doubt hanging over our heads.

Jaybs and co....I admire your optimism and your belief that we will be OK, but in reality, it is my belief that we are dead in the water.

The annoying thing in all this is that although the RFL are about as much use a chocolate tea pot, they did warn the club a number of times about sorting out certain things that, if we had listened, would have prevented the current situation.

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.
