I started post Phil Clark!!!!! Phil had suggested last week that we could sell our franchise.

How many shareholders do we have?
I'd say of all the options open to us this is by a country mile the last choice. Leverage against the council Inreckon.

There were shareholders under Ted's reign but not now.

Should Nobby the Knob be allowed to make statements like this when he obviously has a vested interest?

Poor journalism and pure speculation,

There is nothing in the report that says Michael is considering selling the franchise. It's based on a hypothysis that franchises may be sold and taking into account all the frustrations we are facing with the Community Stadium put 2 and 2 together and get 5.

MC's reply was 'Et tu brute'. Normally used to signify betrayal.

Or he could just extracting the urine big style.

Yes but maybe he feels betrayed because Danny Craven has not reported the facts correctly.

Or because he's let the cat out of the bag.....

But i reckon it's a load of ballcocks. Good click bait for the YP though.

Another shoddy piece of journalism.

to signify betrayal by a trusted friend and confidante....

"beware the ides of March"



or if Shakespeare doesn't do it for you ..how about Game of Thrones perennial survivor and betrayer Lord Petyr Baelish (or Littlefinger) quote after Ned Stark had been framed for treason and arrested...


"I did warn you not to trust me."

Do it...

Value the Super League spot at £12m then if they want to buy our spot we'd have enough money to build a 10k stadium with enough left over to pay for a full time squad for a couple of years!!

Read it again mate, its £!-2 million not £12 million. we'd all take that.

I'm aware it said 1-2m, but in reality, for it to be beneficial to the community and club it would need to be worth at least 12m which would allow 9m for stadium, 1m for land and planning etc, and 2m to pay for a new championship level squad

If the best that the sport thinks of itself for a spot in the elite northern hemisphere League is the value a single season of central funding then we're all screwed and clubs may as well give up now

Exactly, shoddy journalism, I asked that because I'm pretty sure the first article I saw earlier suggested MC would be putting the proposal to our shareholders, his article seems to have been updated/edited and doesn't mention it now.
