Can only be good news for Cas.

He's been holding them back for years do this is a significant development.
Has he sold up though? because being the largest share holder he could still mess things up from afar!!

I thought it was Jack Fulton who was the largest shareholder in cas?

Steve Ferres is new CEO!

RW Remains a fan, Shareholder and director of the club

Hesstill a director so not that big a change.

Ferres will be a very good replacement IMO.

The thoughts of many of us. A much more suitable person for the role, And RW going will attract a load of new investors (Not a take over, But more investment)

Turned Bradford into a big club before their decline. A very good move if you ask me.

Obviously the Cas website has been hacked again as this isn't true
I'm sure someone will be along soon to deny it all

Mixed bag. On the field very good, off the field not so good - I know from experience.

Steve is an honest guy who knows more than most about British RL. What he isn't is a good administrator or politician, or at least not as good as he thinks he is.

You should see a big change on the field - expect to see a drift to NM don't expect to see SF pull a rabbit out of the hat with Glasshoughton.

You do have a touchingly simplistic view of the world, you and your scapegoats

You have some plausibility with Ted but RW for all his faults is far from the only problem at Cas. Because he is the CEO and thus the mouthpiece makes him very visible but there are many others at Cas equally culpable if not more so - to say the loss of RW will release the shackles on Cas is a huge exaggeration IMHO - it will take a bigger cull than just him.

RW just like Ted made a big gamble regarding franchise and the ground that simply didn't pay off. It cost Ted and the club everything, in RW 's case it may only cost the club.To me it looks like he's getting out before it's to late and so he can distance himself - he's not as stupid as folk think.

What I heard about Steve Ferres is that he has a low boredom threshold. Move in, do a good job, be a hit, move on. My impression of him with us is that he made us seem more of a professional outfit.

RW's statements seem to be characterised by the need to have a pop at other clubs, perhaps to deflect attention from his own failings; this one is no different.

Correct in my experience. Very enthusiastic to start with then boredom and the inevitable clashes with authority happen and he's off. Problem is Steve wants to own a SL club but can't find the cash required. Until then he won't be happy and even then may not be.

Short term though I reckon there is no finer fixer in the game.
