Widnes in administration : Thu Feb 21, 2019 3:18 pm  
Widnes have entered administration, can’t pay the staff and Sunday’s match against Sheffield called off. Out of the frying pan and into the fire for KP, unfortunately.

Have to feel for the players and staff especially the Leigh lads from last year to go through this again

CL, I don’t think Widnes are in administration yet, they have till Monday to find a buyer, so there is still time yet, hopefully whatever happens they can sort something out .

I thought Widnes stated the Sheffield match would continue as planned. Obviously something has changed to effect that.

Not quite sure what the good doctor had planned or why he/consortium got shown the door.

Shame because someone has budgeted on this season using investment that wasn’t there to start with.

Seagulls did exactly the same when turning fully pro.

I just get the feeling, not everything is being said or who actually pulled out.

Feel for the fans/players and all the staff,but certainly seems mismanagement is to blame.

Administrators unwilling to pay the players' insurance.

Hopefully they'll find a way out of this mess.

Given that we play them at least 3 time this season, selfishly I wonder where this leaves us too.

Harrison Hansen, Liam Hood back, or are they out of our price bracket now?
