How much did you like Marc Green then Mick?

Not much however, there's no denying that he was ill advised by the RFL's man - Steve 'will fix it' Ferres.

Surly any business man can see when over spending is happening though. Oh I forgot he was rubbish at that too.

To be fair, you said a hell of a lot of things at the time (and deleted a lot of them shortly after). Most turned out to be rubbish. One or two was bound to be right. If you get 100 goes at answering a question that has 100 possible answers, you're bound to get it correct at least once.

I admire your optimism.

It does go without saying that had the first offer that has been made, been made back in January, then we wouldn't be here discussing this.

You thought that was optimistic?

Truth is, who knows? as the excrement descends, ever closer, to that large, whirling object then minds, previously closed, tend to consider possible outcomes ever more closely.
I still don't think the acualité will ever become public knowledge though. Wonderful stuff, that mist..

It's amazing how business people seem to lose all business and common sense as soon as sport is involved. It's as if sport were some parallel universe, where Monopoly money is accepted, debts aren't 'real' and responsibility, payment deadlines and taxes are all optional.

Would be very interesting to know who is funding the claims. Given the sheer numbers of claimants involved, and claims against multiple parties, the overall costs are going to be something horrendous.

It was reported that they were on a no win no fee case. So I'd guess they have a good chance of winning the case, otherwise why would anyone take that amount of claimants on a no win no fee?

You are worse. All of your posts are pessimistic whinging rubbish, unfortunately none of which you delete. Which makes you rubbish all of the time. If you had 100 attempts at answering the question "what is the first letter of the alphabet" you are bound to get it wrong 100% of the time.

I do hope this useful thread isn't going to be derailed by any more of this petty point scoring?

Can we try to keep to the thread please.

I see in the League Express someone asked Chalmers why, if the case is "without merit" the club are seeking to come to a settlement.

"Settlement is a practical process, given how there isn't one party or respondent - there are four."

"There's the claimant group then four respondents, so the practical considerations that would involve a long process with 47 claimants, seven days in court and lots of lawyers involved means that perspective needs to be brought into reality."

Anyone able to de-cipher this cobblers?
