Let's see how it pans out. I'd be amazed if he was still on the scene. If so Mick may need some legal advice...

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

There's some potential for hilarity here. Purely hypothetically, the RFL do some underhand dealings wrt the administration/liquidation, HMRC take umbrage and sue the RFL, the RFL go t1ts up, Fat Nige gets locked up for fraud, and I march up and down in front Red Hall, frothing at the mouth, shouting 'you should have cut your cloth accordingly!' like a real rugby league fan.


I'll join you.

Yeah, pretty much my reading of it. A few things I'm thinking:

- MG plays hardball, and it backfires and looks like he loses everything, so calls up the administrator saying 'Ok, I'll take 10p in the pound'.
- Dubious management information being cited as one of the blockers to a takeover, so making everyone redundant and severing all contractual ties makes this MI issues far less relevant: the can of worms has been emptied. Means we lose players but a buyer can take the club with suitable level of knoweldge.
- Wage bill for next year was simply too high. We lose our stars but now a purchase is viable. Looks like a false economy to me, but there we go.

Whatever the case, this is madness.


Suspect possibly a), to be honest. Obviously without knowing the actual figures, I thought the wage bill for next year was looking far better than it has for a while. The squad size, and therefore wage bill, for the last two years must have been ludicrous however.

Can we organise a coach? With banners

"Mind-boggling Incompetence"

"Cut your cloth!"

"It's simple! Don't spend what you don't have!!!"

"It's time you learnt you are no longer a Big Governing Body!!! (well expect for yours Nige - obviously)"

"What have you done with our Tea-Lady?!?!?"

and my personal fave

"You should never have sold your lease?!?!?"

Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.
