He's never going to do that, and I don't think he has the wealth even if he wanted to.

We've a £400k hole in funding this year because of the drop in sky money.

I reckon MC probably feels he's had his wallet out enough in the past!
I also reckon there isn't much in the club's wallet.

If there is any money I would much rather it be spent investing in the quality youth we have coming through and finding the next batch. We would get much more value in the medium to long term than paying a contract on a big name. Invest into the roots I say and look at the big picture in 3-5 years when hopefully we have retained and developed some real talent. A club like us can’t sustain paying big contracts out.

MC is going above and beyond the requirements of any sane man by keeping the club afloat during some really tough times. If we get the ground upgrade sorted then hopefully there will be increased cash available.

He has no more reason to open his own private wallet than you or I.

He works for free, that alone is enough. Why people feel they have the right to demand he gives even more is outrageous.

I think people need to accept that a number of reasonably well paid players are currently underperforming and it’s up to them to get their acts together.

Totally agree with this, I don’t know MC, I’m just fairly grateful that without him we would be no more. The bloke cuts the cloth accordingly and got us out of a big stinking dung heap which Glover left us in with his Razzmatazz BS. I don’t think we have recruited well this year, I didn’t make judgment in preseason as any player we sign deserves a clean slate and opportunity to showcase what they can do, but we’re pretty much 1/4 through the season and from what most have seen it’s simply not good enough. I just hope we can put these 2 abysmal defeats behind us and really compete with Hull Kr.

Ultimately it was Glovers responsibility I suppose but his mistake was giving Elston a free hand to run the club into the ground. While it’s easy to condemn Glover for the financial meltdown he did walk away from a few hundred thousand in Directors loans which he could have recalled if he had wished.
