| So basically 2 people have left on the same weekend, key men, no news is coming out, and we have some unclear cryptic message about 'not as doom and gloom' as we might think...(hinting an element of gloom and doom by inference)
Do any of you pro 'everything fax' croud, with tenious and loose links to people at the club or within office roles and have some personal aversion to speaking frankly or smelling the coffee have any idea how this kind of thing looks to outsiders?
Ill tell you.... It looks like we haven't got a clue! The Club should quite rightly be criticised for abysmal communication, once again, if this were the city, stocks and shares would have plummeted, its amateur at best, they must think we were born yesterday.
Who the heck is in charge? and if they are away, who is deputy, this is shoddy, and unfortunately, its become the norm for us.

It's not the City though is it? It's a semi-pro organisation at best. Some people forget who we are and what type of people run the club. That said, i would expect an explanation before the end of the week but i'm not going to throw my teddy out of the cot if it's next week.

| Hasn't Clay already explained his departure? Thought the Courier said it was because he has his own business and he could no longer find time to do both jobs. I think it also said he was still involved on "special projects" such as finding new sponsors and working on the super league application, but just won't be involved in the day to day running of the club. Don't know about Posner though.

Your team after we visited
Seriously though , this thread reminds me on the so called Leigh ' Implosion ' of 2006
I resigned because of personal reasons [ basically if I had remained on the board it would have bancrupted me , 4 days later Tony Benson was removed from his position [ not unusual for this to happen in sports management and then Mike Callaghan resigned [ partly at protest for the coaches removal , but in all honesty it probably was time for him to move on as he had been unhappy for a while
At the end of the day these things happen , the club carried on and eventually things settle down and our fortunes [ much of it down to luck IMO have now improved
Being involved with a sports club at this level is incredibly difficult and frustrating , you are always on the edge finance wise , and sometimes it can become too much and you find yourself spending far too much time dealing with club isssues , if you have your own mortgage paying business to look after , then that must take precedence as it is that at the end of the day that allowed you to get involved with the first place
Better to take time out and be available to help again than to get to the point where you walk away from both the club and the sport , I have seen many good people get so involved that in the end they have walked away , never to return , and that is a big loss , that is hard to replace
You will be fine of that I have no doubt , still wont win owt ont pitch this year [ the mighty leythers will clean up , but you'll be OK

It's a very limited explanation though. It only stresses that our SL bid is still on track which is the furthest thing from my mind at the moment.
What the fans were really looking for was further explanation and reassurance as to why the two had left at the same time and that it was just coincidental. Otherwise the usual scaremongering starts with things like "players not getting paid", "club owes money all over", "rent not up-to-date" and "players always out on the booze". I was even told about Matt Calland's fondness for the Colombian Marching Powder FFS!
I, personally, ignore all this rubbish as I've heard it for too many years but it certainly doesn't help the club's image.

Posted what?
All I've posted is what I expect to hear, what we've all heard before and a ridiculous comment which someone made to me.
As to your final comment/emoticon, I'm English and tend to ignore American teentalk as I prefer to leave it in "Cluless" etc. where it belongs.

| The statement from Steele and lack of from Posner, plus Clays non commital words hardly paints the rosiest of pictures down there. Michael 'I do most of the work' Steele hopefully can back it up now.
Personally i am concerned and wont be surprised by anything that does or doesn't happen.

| running a Sports Club whether it be Pro or amateur requires a lot of effort and time. Individuals come and go.Some people need to have a rest or lessen the work they do or else they will burn out. The aims of a club remain the same in most cases despite the various changes. Most clubs in Rugby League rely heavily on volunteers-and Fax are no exception!
As I understand it Mr Clay will still be involved-but just not to the same extent. Maybe he will invest more time and energy later. So there is no real dramas on that score.
Mr Posner will have his reasons. Does he or anybody else really need to explain what they do and why? These people have invested time, effort and money in to our club. Again the club will still be here next season and the aims are still much the same. So why the big drama?

OK, to reiterate, for "ignore" read "give no credibility to". Better?
Oh, and return the pseudo Jewish comments to "life of Brian", OK?
