Not quite because I certainly don't think the Broncos are one of the teams they want shut of.

I agree there, but the Broncos might do it for themselves.

I don't see any way in this world the RFL will let them drop or even worse fold, I personally think the London expriment failed long ago but I also think that super league has failed if it ends up being just Yorkshire and Lancashire but on the other hand we still have the French so not a total loss.

Can't believe he has the balls to still work at the club whilst others are leaving'"


I dunno mate. There are lots of little things in those clips that I think show you who was really running the show. But I'm grateful to Andrew Glover for what he's done, and for keeping his money in the club at a time when we really need it to be in there.

I'm with you on that. I think he went into it with the best of intentions. Perhaps a bit of an ego trip, playing the club chairman role and splashing his cash, but eventually reality hit home and realised he had bitten off more than he could chew.

I suppose the surprise factor behind all of this is because of his double-glazing salesman background, where everything is the best deal ever. When was the last time you saw a double glazing advert that said, "the best discount we could muster, but still decent windows"?

Some of the gambles didn't pay off. Cheap season tickets got the turnstiles clicking but not the tills. There aren't the facilities to cash in on the extra punters.

Ultimately, he had a go at something that was maybe always doomed to fail.

From what I'm hearing, another club with a new owner could soon be in a not dissimilar position to ourselves; it might not be as straightforward for the RFL as you think.

Two divisions of ten with two up, two down would be better than the convoluted crap the RFL are wanting to bring in after next year anyway.

This could happen sooner rather than later. What are the chances of a 12 team SL next year with another going down at the end of 2014 to be replaced by NL1 GF winners of 2014 ?
Imagine London dropping down for 2014 and coming straight back up in 2015 after winning the 2014 GF.

Quote: RebelRebel "The youtube sticky has disappeared from this board, so I guess it's OK to post this now? It's posted on youtube by the club - the video of the Fans` Forum when AG took over the club. It's in several parts, but part 1 starts here:

the bit when James said "if we only have a £1 we will only spend 90p " is coming back to haunt us icon_sad.gif

A lot of this guilt should be firmly on Elston, he signed and scouted a few players on huge wages, the whole dolls thing and even renting property to the club for players which now I doubt he did with no profit he has taken every penny he can out of the club. No one will invest while is with 10 mile of the club.

think most of us are guilty of over spending at some time i.e. paying for a mortgage but is a long term gain,

I thought we had a ten year plan in place, if we did its obviously not the way to go

The more I hear the more I wonder. From some of the people owed and the amounts in question I am starting to wonder if he has actually spent that much at all.

Quote: Disney cat "With a few more members of staff leaving today and the sale of players I wonder if Elston or Glover feel any guilt about the situation they have got the club into in such a short time. I also believe Glover has played a blinder by being out of the country for a few weeks while Mr Carter swings the axe.'"

glover has also left the club.
