Quote ="gowerthegroap"even if you look at this with the rose tinteds on, this is an utter mess.
To take Dianes comments as they are, basically, carry on, nothings changed, business as usual, is fine, but the key fact is that we are in this situation yet again, and somebody has to take some responsibility and own up as to why. Yes we now have an agreement with HMRC, yes we are not being wound up (yet), but yes prior to that payment we were also £353,000 in debt.
You would have thought with the money from Super League, the money generated by the club, the well known fact that we don't use the full salary cap, coupled with the money from the recent sale of Atkins we'd be far from being in this situation.
How do we time after time end up in this state?!
Whichever way you take this, £353,000 is an astronomical amount of money.
The constant opposition we get from rival clubs, fans and the RFL to being in the division in the first place is more than apparent. When this gets thrown in their faces every other year, can you blame them?'"
Maybe this explains why Atkins felt he was pushed out of the club? Very frustrating for us supporters but it's something we should be used to by now!
