Quote ="Poynton"Whoever is or isnt playing , whatever is or isnt going on behind the scenes at the club, season ticket holders deserve to watch a team in which every one of the 17 try their best every week.
the ony excuse for not trying is if the players are not getting paid. If finance is not available to meet all players contracts it is the people who control the finances who should go and let someone who can run the club within its means take over.'"
There is aboslutely no truth in the lack of finance rumours and anyone who thinks there is a problem in that respect is totally ill informed. Overall, the finances of the club are in the best shape they have been for a number of years.
We got rid of Scully because of his lack of discipline NOT because we needed extra cash for other players wages.
We've issued more shares because we want to fund future team development NOT because there's a mountain of unpaid bills.
People forget far too easily that the current executive management of the club have brought us through some of our most troubled times financially - the Pearman affair & CVA; being the only SL team not to get any Sky money in their first seaason in the competition; not having the 7 figure handouts from either SL or RFL (can't remember which) that Huddersfield & another club (again, memory fails me but I think it was Hull) got; giving the fans a squad that has kept us in SL every year since we got there despite operating with one of - if not the - smallest wage bill in the league (when other team blatantly flouted the cap too).
Ted has said before that if someone with the cash, the time and the love of the club wants to buy it then he will sell because it would be right for the club. Until that time comes, I'm fully behind Ted because I know (from first hand experience) that he's doing a fantastic job and there are few fans who love the club more than him.
