Can't help thinking that Amor would have been a great short term signing for us. He looked well up to speed in the recent Saints game at Cas and would walk into our side.
Also a good pro and could have mentored our young front rowers Eseh, Aydin, Shaw and Butler.
Has also stated he wants to play in the championship next season which may have been handy.

We might of put an offer for him but Warrington is a lot closer than Wakefield for commuting.

Not sure on the Gaskell one what actually happened, but when Minns went off that was nothing to do with being injury prone and more to do with being head hunted by that idiot Bentley. Red card every day of the week unless it's Kendall reffing against Wakefield.

I think Gaskell dived down to field a lose ball and got a kick in the face. Accidental obviously.

So nothing to do with being injury prone then!!!

Too brave if anything.

Peats was an excellent hooker for us, we would have liked to have kept him, and Watson said as much unfortunately could not keep him due to the fact we had no overseas spots available as we had already signed Levi which took up that last spot.
Not a ball runner but he is an excellent ball distributer, a solid tackler and has a very shrewd head on his shoulders. Definitely better than what you have.

It is better to stay in SL when you are in and it is not too late for us. To do so however requires money to be spent even if it makes us break our own budget. With relegation comes a large reduction in central funding, lower attendances and having to restart from scratch. It will then take several seasons to get back up but like most we would just go back down.
The club can risk money now to gain a more secure future in SL or carry on and probably have the notoriety of doing what many have tried to do before and see us relegated.
I would also add that the loan would be easier to service in SL than the finances in the Championship.

my understanding is the club is about 4.5 million in debt this is made up of directors loans and the council loan.

The council loan is a mortgage set against land that has increased in value. A debt but a hugely positive one.

There are no real directors loans. MC is the sole owner so he can’t really be in debt to himself. That’s not to say he wouldn’t want any money back that he has forwarded the club but I suspect there is no rush as I know for a fact that it’s tiny. I think Glover is still in the mix somewhere but again it’s not huge.

The club is slimmed down with minimum debts almost certainly the lowest in SL and some championship clubs and a new revenue ground development soon to be on tap.

My guess is MC wants out and who can blame him the lack of gratitude he gets.

My guess is he aims to make the club as saleable as possible, whether that means SL or the championship. Whichever the club will look an attractive buy to any new owner.

That’s the impression I get that MC wants out. That’s just a guess ofcourse but since Chester has left I don’t think we have heard a peep from him. I still thank him for all he’s done for the club and he may once the stadium is built regather some interest to drive the club forwards. This new east stand will certainly change the shape of the club.

I know this is a bit extreme but if we were to get an investor like Koukash on board this club could radically transform on and off the field imho.
