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.

Quote ="Bullseye"Did he? Or was it just a collision of massive egos?'"





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.

No arguments from me on that.
