Congrats to Leigh, eventually they will go belly up with their unsustainable business plan but until then their supporters are been took on an unbelievable ride.

The risk to the plan was failure to get promoted, as next year the Sky funding is equal to the cap.
We are now in a very good place, with 2/3 weeks more time than 2 SL clubs to secure players plus a fantastic deal with LSV due to being built without debt which is likely to see us being paid to play there
It is true about the Far East interest but not as owners but shirt sponsors, they have done a bit this season and the deal would dwarf any other in SL should it happen, they seemed to have a great day against shudds
We intend to build a great academy and wouldn't mind Marshall to run it tbh, after all we are awash with spare cash next year

Would suit Marshall perfectly IMO.

I always think with Leigh the problem will be always living in Wigan's shadow. Young players want to play for Wigan not Leigh and when the money runs out which it always seem to have a habit of doing at clubs like Leigh it can quickly come tumbling back down.
