Right, here's the cost (partly to the fans apparently) of signing Gregg:- https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2019/01/1 ... g-mcnally/ It would seem that the fans are being asked, to compensate for the club's past policies having reduced the number of members in LISA! The second paragraph looks like it's been literally translated from a foreign language! Certainly not Mike Latham's style!

I seem to remember we had 16 players on long term sick.. We still managed.

Its been a done deal for weeks apparently so not surprising and makes common sense all round and for Greggs family.

You will probably find that the 15k is to assist signing the other 5 or 6 we need ! LOL !!

In a way, I suspect you are right. Maybe we are asking for the extra £15k, so that we don't have to dip into what is set aside for other players? We do certainly need more than we have at the moment!

How can it be a done deal when we can’t afford him?

Seems fairly common knowledge that he’s already signed, certainly already training with us

As a fan I find the statement a little embarrassing and it’s almost putting pressure on fans to cough up more of their hard earned

I would have no issue putting into LISA, but not by the club putting a gun to my head. They have basically ignored LISA over the last few years, which as such has now pretty much lost its identity and needs to be reinvented to promote itself more.

And also, how much money does LISA have in the bank, not being used for years to contract players must mean they have at least 3 years of subscriptions in there which must be quite a significant sum

This is by no means a criticism of the people running LISA by the way, who do a sterling job

Been a done deal for months been training for weeks just been waiting for Bradford to release him. As for the money to sign him I think is a smokescreen should not be asking fans to pay for players and then fork out money to support the club home and away it’s all take and no give at the moment

McNally is here with Leigh for 2019 irrespective.

This is a very clever ploy to raise additional revenue streams to move forward.
