Administration is now relegation I believe, but not 100% as that was the direction the previous owners were looking to take Leigh prior to the current owners taking over and paying a HMRC winding up order in full with 48 hours to spare.
Remember it is far easier to find 10 people willing to tip in £50k pa rather than one £500k, it is also far easier to find 20 @£25k etc. You have what most RL clubs don't which is a rich recent history of success, a huge dormant fan base and a huge catchment area.
Sometimes you take a step back to go forward again, I would encourage you to contact supporters direct, to look into a Supporter owned club that works very closely with local company's and you never know where you will end up but at least you will not be in the dark regarding the financial truth anymore.
Our rivalry in the Championship made the past two seasons for me, you have some great fans who deserve better than this but you must see the emperors clothes for what they are and seize this great opportunity to sort your club out once and for all.
Good luck

You have good intentions at heart, so thank, but if this was going to happen it would have happened in 2012. Genuinely can't see us being fan owned, with the cash likely to be involved and the complete lack of interest over years of being worn down. Unless you can run an RL club on apathy, in which case we'll be SL champions again in 2018.

The main thing for any version of the club going forward is the need to ditch Odsal. Despite having the biggest crowds (not sure) in the Championship at the highest prices we still couldn't break even.

Really think this could be the end, as my guess is that Green only bought us last time to try and get his cash back that he'd loaned Whitcutt. No one except Green has that motivation this time, plus being in the championship with reduced funding, smaller crowds etc., etc., and given Green's other business were liquidated, I don't see him having the cash to buy it back and provide sufficient working capital to keep it going.

Can't see Green being in charge again. As has been said would he pass the fit and proper test given his chequered record in business?

If someone else doesn't come forward it's curtains. Liquidation.

A club run by the fans is a pipedream. BullBuilder is a committee of 10 or so none of which who can afford to give up their jobs and run a club even part time.

3 periods of admin in 4 years. I think we've had our share now.

Welcome back lads

I feel so sorry for the players and staff, most who have endured constant job uncertainty.Also for Rohan who, in good faith, has been diligent in trying to rebuild the squad.Failing a sustainable investment, there can be no future in Odsal and a ground share seems the only viable way of continuing.Tragic that such recurs and dashes the hopes and aspirations of one of the largest and most loyal fan base in the country.

Re: Administration Again : Mon Nov 14, 2016 3:32 pm  

Can't imagine our landlords (the RFL) would support any ground share proposal as Odsal would become an even greater white elephant to them

I don't see any mention of relegation for entering a CVA but do see a possible deduction of 12 points. http://media.therfl.co.uk/docs/Insolven ... %20PDF.pdf
