I may be wrong but if this is a case of the club being involved in a takeover and not going bust. bear in mind an appeal is in place against the taxman to take place december 9th. Based on this the club will have changed in name and directors only and therefore points cannot be deducted in case of a takeover.

I'm not sure on the legal aspect, but thats an interesting point.

I'm not certain how it works but assume that the old club would be liquidated and the new club would need to ask permission from the RFL to continue. Depends if they (the RFL) attatch strings. Also, remember that the RFL own the Lease on the ground.

I said at the time that the RFL holding the lease on Cougar Park was a masterstroke in case this scenario ever happened.

Now it's in their interests to have a club playing there, so I can't see the new regime having to many problems getting cleared to take over.

the plot thickens, a possible take over bid? Dec 9th meeting regarding tax debt. news to this forum, I think.
Take over a company to pay off it's debts, interesting.
C'mon come clean, who's on the board now

I'm sure they will as soon as they are ready to.

These things take time and I'm sure things like this appearing online don't exactly help.

Stealth is right, it has been a hell of a week for everybody wondering, worrying, stressing, its best to sit back and wait and cool it with the negative comments as its not helping anyone (Hands up - I have also been gulilty of making negative postings out of frustration), this situation obviously goes deeper than most of us are aware of and we will all find out what has happened and what is going to happen soon enough

Very true. But being human beings we all love a good moan. You are right we do need to chew our tounges.

For many of us Cougars is our hobby, subject of conversation over tea, name on a shirt, entertainment at the weekend, maybe a bit or quite a lot more.

For some people it is paying the mortgage, putting food on the table etc.
Not many of them on here moaning so we should wait and see what they say.

In your own time.

Aside from that, I know as much as you.

Sorry I can't offer any more info.

Patience is definitely the best virtue here.

Yes we want to know, yes (as fans who really care) we need to know.

What we can't do though is force the club in to doing things before they are ready, before the right processes have been done properly.

Good things will come to those who wait.

Has the 'old' club ie cougars 2001 Ltd gone bust, who else is a director of cougars 2010?
What were the debts, have more local traders lost money to the black hole in Lawlkholme?
In your own time.

I like a lot on here know about it.
Its very easy to find as others have proved.

I have not heard of any local traders losing money.
Have you?
