Quote ="dddooommm"A very open and painfully honest statement from DB. It brings back some terrible memories of our club being stripped of its prized assets and left for dead when we went belly up. At least it appears Derek is attempting to leave them in a fit state and giving the new owners a clean slate. />
Perhaps Leigh need to go and see a Dr?'"
Frying pan and fire ......

This does however show the plight of a sport that relies on 'sugar daddies'. Compare this with the premier league that have reported today that 10 clubs last year made a profit before they even sold a single admission ticket.'" />
Very true. At the end of the day players will likely have families and a roof to put over their own heads, not to mention a whole lof of life after sport to consider. I'm sure players are totally committed to their team mates and the club when everything is running smoothly, but like any other bloke, in any other kind of job, when the money stops then other priorities come to the fore and rightly so.

Yeah maybe. At least Beaumont is moving to reduce Leigh’s liabilities and has gone public.
I got to shell out on a “cheap” season ticket before that became worthless and the club was liquidated. Followed by the most pointless hiding to nothing that last season was. Just so that it didn’t look like he was trading insolvent.

I know which approach I prefer.
