Well the cats out of the bag now.
Those on here that are in the know may as well tell us whats going on

Re: Leaving Odsal and future in general : Sun Oct 06, 2019 1:07 pm  

so yet another owner with no money behind him.

So if it's Brereton, what's the 'agenda' here?

Has Chalmers failed a 'fit and proper persons' test and been forced out by the RFL? Or told that the club wasn't going to be coming out of special measures with him still in charge?

Brereton doesn't seem like a moneybags, unless I'm missing something. So why the change of ownership at this point in time?

There's a lot more to come out on this...

Yeah, that seems viable...

I assume given no previous link with club he'll be the RFL's 'safe pair of hands'? Bit like Steve Ferres was perhaps...

TBF he was a safe pair of hands for Wakey. All I personally want is to watch my rugby team and not worry about off field issues.

I'm not 'in the know' at all but I'll take a stab at it

Chalmers reduces the liabilities by leaving Odsal. Then predicates players leaving by not paying pension contributions, hoping the higher paid players will trigger clauses in their contracts and leave, thus further reducing liabilities. This paves the way for a quick sale to recoup his investment, and he disappears off back to New Zealand

Might be 2+2=5 - but it fits what we know, and Rogers repeated accusations of lies and stuff going on behind the scenes?

Brereton, Glover and Richardson?

Re: Leaving Odsal and future in general : Sun Oct 06, 2019 1:20 pm  

With wildcats as DR partner?

I notice nobody has mentioned the bit about the fans forum tagged onto the end.. is that a hint of a supporter led role within the consortium or am I reading too much into it?
