Derek is a petulant child who has spat his dummy out. It happens when you start to believe your own press before coming down with a thud!

Let's look what's he achieved over the last two season built our fan base up from 1300 to 4000 in the lower division may I add with no away support apart from Bradford who fans have loyally stuck with them even though they go bankrupt every season and have a coach they have dispited all season.

41,657 fans over 11 games is 3,787. Remove Bradford attendance as you requested and you get a figure of 3,402.......that's not 4000.....I hope you're not in charge of cap calculations at Leigh!

Now all our Derek wants is Leigh to have the same salary cap as our super league competitors what's wrong with that he wants to fund it he can afford and we pull in more crowds than some of the super league clubs so why can't he spend the same cap the only extra funding they get is the sky money.

Because currently the rules say he can't. He voted for these rules by the way and was happy until the wheels fell off a fortnight ago.

It's been stated on here many times that a legal challenge in court would win as its a restriction of trade pure and simple its like saying to asda you can only spend 1 million on advertising but tesco can spend 1.8 million.

Tesco and Asda aren't signed up to be governed by a governing Body......Leigh are and therefore are subject to the rules of that body. If you don't like the rules, leave or change the governing body, but challenging them in a court of law will only make one profession wealthier.

Threatening to sue the competition over their operational rules is about as stupid as it loving gets.

Threatening to do something and actually doing it are entirely different, just bringing an issue to the table, and posturing, hes not the 1 st and wont be the last

Do I agree with him? , no

Still unfair, the club is unrecognisablecompared to 3/4 years ago, all because of 2 things, a structure that allows clubs to progress due to on field performance and somebody willing to invest under those circumstances

Many have suggested that Leigh would have been a ' shoe in ' for a licence, but that isnt true as the investement wouldnt have happened under that system

Many mistakes have been made, more will be made , most will be rectified

Re: Leigh : Mon Sep 21, 2015 9:46 pm  

I'd like to make it clear that I don't like Leigh. I never have done. However, it cannot be denied that Beaumont has re-energised the club and the direction of travel is positive. For that he deserves some credit. I am not sure why some fans of opposition clubs get wound-up by some titbits he gave to the media.

I responded specifically and accurately to Jesus's comments....4k is not right as an average even with Bradford, regardless of if the style of play was nice your players were regularly the topic of the the disciplinary and the rules for salary cap and transfers as they are were agreed at the start...just because it didn't pan out for him is no defence for the dummy spitting of the Leigh collective!

As a whole I have little problem with Leigh or their charismatic owner who as you say, has revitalised the club. Unfortunately, his dummy spit combined with the small section of Leigh fans on-line who have claimed that the team would win everything have painted the club in a tarnished light over the last fortnight. Wins in the cup v average under performing sides and a close game against a Wire in decline resulted in countless threads on the VT and on those club boards where Leigh "fans" bragged and boasted of their rise from the ashes with a Grand Final appearance only a matter of a few years away......alas, its Ealing Trailfinders for another season at least.

As for spending to the cap in pursuit of promotion or to avoid relegation........isn't that what got us into the mess in the first place? Having money doesn't = staying up (London) or winning Grand Finals (Huddersfield/Wakefield)
