How many would if told with 7 games left we would be 5 points away from possible safety.



It was not to be yesterday some here go all doom and gloom after a loss yes it was disappointing but not over yet.



Once again it could boil down to the 9 point deduction caused by our former chairman

Was it the fault of the former chairman, or was it the fault of the former board?

Jim without getting into the whole thing again, who was it in the press spouting how well we were doing financially then week after the final the debt miracoulously appears, we all know it was just one man who lied to everyone.



The rfl do not call someone as unfit and proper person on a whim, if as you allege others were involved how come it was only Neil that got done, face facts Jim that no matter which head you have on its a fact.

Hope is the embers still smoldering beneath the ashes when the fire appears to have burned out.



Anon.

Just keep taking it one game at a time, there's a third of the season yet to go.



Things could change for the better very quickly.



Batley, Toulouse and Whitehaven are winnable. Leigh are having a bad patch so we could get something there. We can't expect to get anything out of Fev and Barrow. It could be down to a really heroic effort against Widnes to keep us up.

I don't allege anything, that's why i put a ? at the end of the question.



Can the RFL only do that to a chairman?

Or can they do it to the board of a club?

Just to correct you Pete. The RFL didn't come out and call him a unfit and proper person. As with most professional sports nowadays, the governing body, in the case the RFL, have a criteria that prospective directors are judged against.



The criteria can be where a directors finances come from, for example you can't own an American football franchise if you make money from gambling, In football you can't be a director if you've been banned in another sport for corruption or cheating. You also can't be a director if you've serious criminal convictions including fraud.



Spencer failed on the basis he had been part of a failed club within a certain period. Any other member of the last board would have failed it on these grounds as well.

Cheers for clearing that up.

I think this is where it came from:

Is that the ancient greek version of hope or the modern one

Somewhere on the RFL website there's a PDF you can download which has the criteria on how they decide.



I'm not on a PC so can't provide a link but if you find time to read it, it's pretty cut and dried.



To be honest I think the new board used the process as a polite way of showing Spencer the door by taking the decision out of their hands.

I posted a copy of email from rfl a while ago explaining this in deatil but cannot be bothered looking for it.
