Harry, that one is an interview from this week. If I've understood correctly, what Alan is referring to is an interview from April 14.

Not managed to find the April 14 interview, but rlthis onerl pre-dates it by only a fortnight and is interesting listening as it talks of financial investment.

It occurs only 7 weeks before the 'crisis' meeting with Carl Hall on May 19. How can things have changed so dramatically in 7 weeks???

Quote: Starbug "To get this money from the RFL involves employing key personel that in all honesty you probably dont need

There is little if any cash monies from the RFL'"


The modern club/game is not just about putting a team on the field, the RFL want and demand that clubs develop their own talent, this means clubs have to have a employ people to go into schools, local clubs and even non-heartland areas, this is an area that the Dons have excelled in, we have more than a dozen secondary school and god knows how many primary schools playing rugby league, this Sunday sees the first of seven under 11's tournaments being played at Moorends.

They request you do that work yes , When John Wright was in charge of you he was paying 20 Grand a year to 2 players to do development work in schools , I know this because I was at the NL council meeting when they introduced the NL Salary Cap and he argued for an excemption to be made for monies paid for this work

Even though you dont have to do it , you also dont have to run an acedemy or a reserve grade if you dont want to [ Fax are not doing so this year and HKR didn't run a reserve grase in 2006 when they went up ] so in all honesty I would have thought it would have not been high on your list of priorities

And even though you have done plenty of good work if you ended up dissapearing from the pro sport it wouldn't continue

All I did was point out to whoever posted it that the 100k from the RFL is not all it seems

I m sorry folks, but rather than analysing another collapse of the club should nt we be looking at ensuring that it never happens again.

We can argue between ourselves on this site forever with the hope that another consortium or knight in shining armour comes along to save the club. Arguably if this happens there is a very good chance that some of the people who may have got us into this position would still be around.

And I believe we the supporters would find ourselves in this position again, after all, the likelihood is that these people will either not have club's best interest at heart or be capable of promoting the club properly and repairing its tarnished reputation.

I believe we should look at the possibility of a Supporters Trust either to take club forward alone, or as an independent body to work with any potential new owners to ensure some stability to make sure this never happens again.

So lets stop contemplating our navals or planning what we will do next summer on Sunday afternoons.

i think some of the blame for our plight should fall at the RLs door.surely the people who looked over the clubs business plan should have seen its shortfalls,and advised us that maybe we should stay in DIV2 till they sorted out the clubs problems after CH left.i think someone has said sod it let them go ahead its no skin off our nose.im not willing to let all the blame to be put squarely on the boards shoulders.they gave it ago bless um ,and its been abit over there heads.what evers happened i still admire them for trying.a BIG thanks to them from me for giving it a go

Believe me the RFL would have been ultra careful in giving their approval.
If the current 'team' running the club wish to convince me and others that they are not 100% the problem they should make public the agreed budget and the contracts etc entered into since approval was granted-
i think it could make interesting reading.That is the only way of them being able to be afforded some diluting of the blame.
Sadly i realise weve got no chance of this happening.

They obviously were not ultra careful enough in giving their approval--thats a fact.

Did the RFL advise them not to keep up there payments to the inland revenue?

It would also be in the supporters interests that confirmation is given that all the staff/players were party to the 25% pay cut some weeks ago.
That includes the officials.
Why do i think this is important?
Because if the cut was across the board(as it should be) at least it shows everyone employed by the club was pulling the same way.
Clarification is ALL that is needed.
If not received,the fans doubts on how the club has been run this season are going to drastically increase.
