to rephrase cougarbar members question, who was responsible for the finances when the dirt hit the fan, i was under the impression that the chief executive would have that responsibilty?? so maybe we are looking in the wrong direction for a scapegoat??

Forwardpass not quite sure whom you are referring to but for arguments sake Neil is absolving himself of any blame then name who you think it is. Remember the tax amount of £183k has occured in the period since 2001 -2009 who was the man at the top, clearly Neil.

My issues are not with Neil the person but purely as the chairman at the time who was ultimately responsible for the club, its not rocket science.

Responsibility has to be taken for the mess, however the new board appear to have a strategy that on the face of it seems good, already they are more welcoming of fans input and ideas whereas previously this was quite the opposite.

Neil is more than welcome to join the speccies but not hopefully having an official role as this will be detrimental to the fans and the club generally. Is time to walk away graciously in my opinion.

Girl power, i do not know who I am refering to either, by name that is, but there are people in all kinds of organisations who have chairmen, cheif execs and all kinds of other roles within them, each have a role to play. all i am asking is are you sure the right person has been sentenced to death? don't ask me I don't know, all i am doing is, asking the question, because there are people on here who seem to be in the know but are not telling.

The board, including the chairman, is to blame.

They saved the club didn't they? Therefore they knew the liabilities they were taking on, and they increased the liabilities seemingly.

The buck stops with them.

Will the former Chairman in his new role with the club (subject to a RFL nod) benifit from personal drawings (pay) in the new shake up?
