WHOOOOOOOSH!





Do you actually read what people write?



I didn't say anything in favour of franchising.



I actually said that the key to growing a team to be a "Leeds" or "Wigan" is spotting where the seed will grow best and commented we are not very good at this. The names were merely an example of places that might, or MIGHT NOT fit the bill. I could have written anywhere, including the heartlands.



My own club is Keighley and I would bl00dy love a shot at SL, but I can't realistically see that happening without a big money backer.



Take off your agenda specs and read what people say





Ohh, and I think you'd look lovely in a tutu

You really have no idea, do you!



For a start, you're saying that Lewis' performance is poor. You HAVE to look at the past to be able to make a statement like that, so don't complain when people use facts to knock down your one-eyed theory.



You're the one talking about all these sponsors we should have and once had. Again, have to compare to the past to make statements like that.



As for the RL deputy chairman, are you completely stupid? Do you think there's like some kind of secret method that will turn RL around and this guy knows it simply because he works with a successful football club? Do you really think that's how it works?



Why don't you answer people's questions instead of throwing insults at them for daring to question your theories?

What's intrigueing me is the suddenness of the announcement and speed with which he's leaving.

Isn't that how most job changes happen? couple of weeks notice and all that?

Not so much at this level - I would have expected it to be more on the lines of 'leaving at the end of the season'. I'm wondering if after the Crusaders and Bradford 'problems' there's been a behind the scenes 'coup'.

Surely he was on 3 months notice if not 6 months but maybe not.?

Maybe the tennis job came up after the previous guy went to RU , he got interviewed, accepted and then said goodbye like in any job

The position was open and im pretty sure the All-england club wanted someone in ASAP, they have some big event or something in a couple of months.

I've rarely known anyone work their notice period especially if it's an extended period. Three & six months notice periods are negotiated as a buffer and nothing else. The last thing I'd want is someone in position, knowing that their mind is on the next job. Better to shake hands and move on

perhaps he gave his notice 3/6 months ago. Just because he only announced it now doesnt mean it happened now.



Fairly standard I would say - if he publicly gave 6 months notice it could potentially cause anarchy in the running of the game and diminish his power base.

Who would he hand his letter of resignation to? Himself?



(A serious question, believe it or not!)

Head of personnel + CEO and non execs
