Hi rupert bear , your description of your good self sounds just like me.

S-Offish has a point about being kept upto date re the Squadbuilder A/C , however he did go off on one, & this was taken to task .

Not everyone is going to agree , but a merry christmas to all .

COYD

NB my wife was in the Office Wed am(21/12) , she was told money & mandates still coming in , so all isnt lost.

I was bored ... get over it!
Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to everyone and a happy and [ipeaceful[/i New Year to all.

Thanks to the efforts of the club and fans we have plenty to be optimisitic about for 2012.

Thanks to everyone who has posted on here too in 2011 ... it's always good to read everyone's views.

Oh no it isn't!

oh yes it is !

very quiet on here lately ?

Office is closed , staff on holiday.

Hope we get the answer most of us want re Paul Cooke early next week . Earlier the better !

I agree there, the earlier that we get the news the better (and hopefully positive news at that).

League Weekly quotes TM as saying the Club are 'hopeful' of making the signing but that he 'doesn't know' if it will happen.

The report states that the Club appear to be making slow progress with regards to raising the funding necessary and that TM will now step up preparations for the friendly against Hunslet (Jan 15) without Cooke.

An Offical Statement from the Club might be a good idea, not just press speculation !

I don't disagree that something from the Club would be helpful. However, it's not completely speculation when it contains quotes attributed to our Head Coach.

It may be interesting to know how long the one off contributions would pay his salary & then what has been promised monthly !

The one off payments could give a breathing space so to speak !

Well my analysis is this ..........
Sorry it's not an analysis, it's a guess ........
The one off pledges will keep Paul in work for about a week and the monthly ones will pay about 40% of his requirements.
So unless the club finds the difference ... he's toast.
But don't despair, I have been known to be wrong.

I'd save your money, if I were you. Cooke is nowt but trouble, and is so in demand as a RL player that his career over the past year has consisted solely of writing a column for the local rag. He was a very good player in his day, but that day is long gone.

it seems to me that the club is relying solely on us the fans to raise the money,the dont seem to be pulling out the stops to get any new monies in,they not said a word since the meeting i not holding my breath re us getting P C .
