Some good information in there - very forthright. I hadn't realised the extent to which the France affair had impacted on the club - a deficit of 300k would be enough to cripple any business.

The academy stuff is what I alluded to last week having spoken to the scholarship coaches - looks like Mark Winder has been a busy bee! That scheme has huge potential for the club, so I hope it comes together.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel!

That’s all what was needed, an explanation with facts rather than letting rumour and conjecture reign. I’m sure most people could understand the cash flow issues with a £300K hole in the years budget, although it’s not good having another WO attached to the club (particularly if the 12 SL clubs from 2015 onwards are to be selected by the RFL rather than league position).

We're all adults and most are reasonable. We can understand issues when the facts are made public. The new appointments are welcome and perhaps should’ve been installed pretty much from the off but I guess Andrew Glover will just put it down to experience.

As an aside the JE interviewer suggested that HKR offered £5K for Cockayne, obviously trying it on with the all the rumours surrounding the club last week.

Absolutely not, i would say anyone who cares would or should do the same.
Running a double glazing firm is a very different job to running a RL club, hopefully AG is learning that.
None of what we know now would have come out but for rumour, maybe they are symbiotic but in a perfect world the former would negate the latter.

Exactly.

Yes great interview with AG. Really had no ideal that the France fiasco had left us so much out of pocket and also things like the Leeds game being cancelled causing us again to be stretched. Also the new appointments are very good news.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, I don't envy the job they have running this club, especially at Belle Vue.

Just what was needed to kill the rumours quoted earlier on this site.
It's quite clear that some things we don't even think about have a massive bearing on the finances of the club.
I think an update like this say every 3-4 months would put the scaremongers out of business!

That certainly makes me feel better.
Well done AG.

He's dismissed all the rumours i've read on here.

All those rumours are in fact answered in that interview, so we can all move on because none of the rumours had any substance at all, did they.

Excellent mix of the negative and positive. This needs to be done every couple of months. On the back of this I'm buying my tickets in July one adult and two juniors. Well done AG.

Exacly Jason.

Will buy mine next week 6 im total.

Thanks Andrew.

The Nutjobs forum has got wind of the Andrew Glover interview, they'll be getting giddy now reading whatever they can into it!

"Our cash flow has taken a couple of massive hits this season, firstly with our main club sponsor going bust owing us £240,000"

Eric France going bust was always on the cards, he's done it a few times already, thats how he operates oh and the whisper is he'll be back up and running soon.

Now i realise sponsors are hard to find and it probably seemed too good to be true but spending/budgeting money was very risky.

Don't quote me with "hindsight" on this one just take a look at Frances records over the years.

Not trying to be negative but it needs saying.
