Well hopefully we get a clear understanding tomorrow regarding the board and our plan moving forward. We can all agree the current board have got us through a difficult period and steadied the ship. Personally I would like to see a more optimistic approach towards our target of promotion back up to super league as I feel the gap is widening between champ and super league. I feel our current board don’t have the financial resources to do that and so if investors want to buy them out and have a solid business plan why stand in the way. With the news of the council getting the stadium accessed is it possible they could sell the stadium as a package deal
I think the update from last night was basically were a million miles from super league with the current board and set up, doesn’t sound like there’s much of a plan to move forward they seem too happy to just be treading water and surviving not willing to put extra money in but happy to just be sat there not improving things and then when someone with abit of vision and money steps up they don’t wanna know and buy him out! Makes absolutely no sense I think it’s definitely time for the old boys to step aside and let someone else try and drive the club forward. The one good thing they got right in the last 9 years was Tim Holmes and they’re just happy letting him walk after promising him the world and failing to deliver yet again.
We’re so mediocre it’s painful
To play devils advocate a bit, no amount of investment will change the RFL's stance on the Salary Cap next season, we'll be spending the maximum allowed (£500k), it'll be up to those investors to accept that and see if they are willing to spend their money elsewhere in the club - would investing the academy/player pathways help us long term for instance?
Think you are right there - if we can spend money on the academy which will not be part of the salary cap, that’s the way to go
get sponsors in for that and produce talent like we used to
no need to borrow other clubs players that need a runout to get them fit and then they bugger off
