| On the other site there was a suggestion that Mr Hughes hasn’t been attending matches recently. That’s a bit sad considering what he’s put into the club. Me, I gave the 2nd Cats at home match a swerve which is typical as it was one of only two at home we won.

| Quote: Victor "I am told that the vote to bring IMG into the RFL fold, was on the platform that IMG will sort out Rugby League, just leave it to them.
Somewhat like the Labour Manifesto in the last election, there was no detail and once in place they started adding all sort of things. Most of which nobody in the sport likes.
David Hughes just went with the flow like so many other chairmen, only to get caught out by the fine detail.'"
That's simply not right. Proposals were presented to clubs in Dec 2022 with details being provided to clubs in Feb 2023 and some revisions in March 2023 prior to the vote in April 2023. The March 2023 version of the grading system is still available rlhererl.
It was perfectly possible to calculate our score from the March 2023 publication. I did it myself and was very close to our provisional grading. Hughes voted in favour of that grading system. Our fate under it should have been very clear to him.
There were some minor adjstments afterwards but nothing too significant.
Hughes did not criticise the grading system until Jan 2024 some time after the indicative grading placing us 24th had been issued in October 2023.

Maybe difficult to watch players fighting so hard when you know you're going to sell them down the river.

David Hughes was not present on Friday, nor was his side kick Stevo. Jack was there but not David.
Stevo and Jack were in Perpignan, however I did not see David but he may have been there.

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!
