Quote ="Ferocious Aardvark"Indeed. But to be fair, we shouldn't count Omar Khan in with the charlatans. He effectively saved the club at that stage, despite at the last minute being put on the spot to receive a one-year full funding penalty. Then at the time he was forced to step down due to ill health we were I think 6th in the league, but he got shafted again as his agreed sale of shares did not go through, which reportedly the RFL had a hand in. He was even then shafted by the administrator, and had to go to court to prove he was owed what he said. Khan was out of pocket well north of a million, and was not responsible for subsequent events.'"
Was going to say exactly the same thing. Khan whilst out of his depth no doubt had only good intentions when he stepped in.
The RFL and SL clubs in their vote to remove central distribution (purely for personal gain) was a stain on the sport and I have no directly influenced the second admin as there was no way a small scale local business man could sustain the losses that would have been expected.
Green was a pure chancer and his big gamble for a top four finish failed leaving him and the club in financial ruins. I think his previous businesses also failed at roughly the same time and he was left with not much at all. I have less sympathy with Green as he knew exactly what he was doing and what would happen if his plan failed.
I prefer to work with people who keep expectations low and aim to overachieve. I'd place AC in this category.
