As I keep observing, administration would be a means for CC to gain total control.

If, as we have been assured, all the non-day to day liabilities have been settled, then if there is a day to day cash shortfall that could doubtless be plugged by Moran and transfer fees, and least in the short term. So will be interesting to see what the justification for administration might be.

I don't think anyone believes the assurances Adey. If half of what Coulby said is true then God knows what they're going to find.

Is that right? I dont have any experience of Administration but was under the impression that it was a fairly transparent process? If, as FA says and I have before, we've paid off the major debts, wouldn't that become known during an Administration?

Although technically he has majority control at the moment. Which might be a less risky option - once he has weighed all the variables.

This review process. If we accept that Duckett & Potter are good at their jobs - then the review process doesn't have to be a significant amount of time. It might actually be separate 1hr presentations with a q&a session afterwards over a cup of tea.

Duckett will know the financial skeletons (or lack thereof) and just needs to bring Tasker up to speed.

Potter will know the strengths & weaknesses of his squad and who he wants to let go/keep and who to get in.

Coulby & Caisley & Agar would bring it all together.

That meeting with Nobby would be interesting. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that one.






Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.

Anyone still confident we'll avoid Administration after listening to Duckett on boots n all?. He usually comes across pretty well but seemed to not have a clue whats going on. Cullen and O'Connor putting boot in will hardly help attract investors either.Pretty certain our average attendance is well north of 8k too which one of them stated as current figure.

Its certainly not a transparent process at all - far from it. Especially with prepacks. An administrator will always be able to justify his actions in some way. But that wasn't my point. What I was getting at is that once a business is in administration, there is virtually no way for Joe Public to get to know whether if COULD have been saved without resorting to administration. All we'd have is one camp assuring us that administration was the only option, and the other likely saying the opposite - and adding that it was the first party's intervention that prevented the second party from securing the investment it was pursuing.

And we'll never know the truth of it. But, unto the victor the spoils, and history is usually written by the victors?

The presentation was embarrassing.

Don't these presenters know that meticulous preparation is essential to at least come across as legitimate and knowledgeable.

The above isn't in no way shape or form aimed at Ryan Duckett, but those two clowns.

Sky's Rugby League coverage needs an urgent revamp IMO.
