Quote: jbuzza "Give them to GF
Why would that be laughable? No, I wouldn't be prepared to re-mortgage properties to prop up inept management year on year, but if I thought for 1 second that I could sell a house to pump the profits into the club in THE WAY I SEE FIT, I would take his shares on tomorrow. That said...I can't see DH Letting someone come on board who would rock his boat icon_rolleyes.gif
It's easier for people like you to have a go at me rather than understand the issues at Quins......so I will spell it out for you.

David Hughes is a SAINT....of that there is no doubt, but of the 1.5 million (or more) he flushes down the loo every year, a miniscule fraction is spent on marketing. I don't know if this is because Sir Martin Sorrell once ran over DH's cat, or if he just doesn't understand the need to speculate on Marketing and promotion....but it would seem odd that more fans watching games would reduce the amount he needed to bail the club out every year, yet he spends two tenths of SFA on trying to get more fans......and when they do try, they do so in an amateur way. He may be proud of the youth set-up and the conveyer belt of talent coming through.....and he will probably get a statue for his troubles, but he will also be remembered as the man who presided over the year on year decline of attendances at the club......and bottom line is, people like you and the others who are sick of my ranting, sniping or attacks on the hard working (and well paid) members of staff at the club had better pray to whatever gods you believe in that he stays healthy......otherwise all that will of have been achieved is a load of kids will be better prepared to star in union when they get older.......
Yes...I blab on about it, but I can assure you of this, against the wishes of my wife and probably at the risk of being committed, I would happily throw money at Quins RL.....if I thought they would use it wisely....but then again, quins rl doing anything wisely is never going to happen.

Just a point of clarification.......IL stated that DH puts £1.7 million into QRL each year.

The issues are very easy to understand actually. I certainly don't need you to spell them out yet again. Thought you might fancy putting your money where your mouth is though.

As I said above, I would have no issue investing in the club.......but I would have issues investing in the club with the current management structure and attitudes. Alas, I am not a millionaire and in all honesty, unless the property market booms again, I will never be one and therefore, could not compete with DH and his everlasting cheque book. I doubt very much an offer of funds to boost marketing activity would be welcomed, especially from someone who has expressed his opinion as to what the club should be doing for nearly 10 years now.

As for putting my money where my mouth is, I offered......the RFL described me as 'just the kind of passionate person the club needed" but the headhunter/recruitment person employed by the club didn't even see fit to respond to my CV being submitted.......and believe me, I would have taken a massive drop in salary if I had been successful. As it is, the position I applied for was never filled and PB now has someone he has worked with in the past in place.

I digress (as it's always about me isn't it).......you talk about putting my money where my mouth is......ie, take IL's shares and open myself up to the % of the loss the club make....... d040.gif and you say I have trouble using a calculator icon_wink.gif

Quote: jonny the leyther "..............................Back to the point in hand, how are London going to succeed? You know best.'"


Quins RL will succeed because they will remain a super league outfit whilst you still haven't meet the vital licencing crteria of winning something with only one route still left to you.

Whilst I respect your right to have a view on how we "southern shandy drinking poofs" are getting to grips with "your game" I fear that your efforts would be better directed at Ian Millward and why did Leigh screw up against Batley in the Northern Rail cup......................... icon_lol.gif

Keep the faith.

I'm sure he'd readily hand them over for "nowt" to whoever is going to cover his outstanding loans to Quins RL.

Excuse my ignorance...........Is that how it works i.e. whoever takes on the shares has to payback what IL has put into the club (which I think someone mentioned in the past stands at around £4 million)??

If that is the case then he is never going to get rid of them unless Branson fancies giving it another shot!!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think IL could easily write those debts off - the problem lies with the fact that any potential investor buying shares would then begin to share the responsbility of the clubs future/current losses, apart from IL's donations. Their investment would probably be sucked up fairly quickly.

My understanding is that IL would agree to hand over the shares to any new "owner" as long as he is repaid his outstanding directors loans that IL has with Quins RL.

Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 - Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader. Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward. Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I? Update on Quins Mogs :- Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo. Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas. Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9. Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg
