I guess we almost agree,

Sustainability should be an aim not a priority!

What I said is we are entering an era that will be better than anyhing we've had in 30 years. To be honest you can arguably say last year was better than anyhing we've had in 30 years so in my opinion we are already in that era!!

The fact promotion next season is available can only enhance this era!!

Happy for people to disagree that's what this forum should all be about. It is interesting the same half glass posters now are the same ones who told me our coach was a bad apple and. Would never be a coach..... Mmmm. I wonder what happened to those realists... Oh wait there's a few on this thread!!

This thread typifies everything thats good and bad about this forum,some good positive support,some alternative views and domination by 2 or 3 who really would be better off sitting together over a drink and having a face to face chat like we did in the good old days.
Also a sprinkling of football references which have no relevance at all especially if its points raised by Man Utd fans who usually are deluded,but being a "bitter blue" (LOL) I would say that.

Have a look at the profit and loss annually since Taggart landed in 86 and tell me the net loss.

Oh and they are £650m in debt.

Let's hope we can be just as self sustainable eh??

Aren't you a Bolton fan they're in big debt and have been for ages !

Anyway I think the new structure will work out ok
Knowing all these people they are all good business men and we have to run as a business not a charity

Re: Centurions Reveal New Structure For The New Era : Thu Nov 20, 2014 12:46 pm  

Agreed the structure will work for sure DJ.

We have never been a charity, in fact what Derek is doing/giving is ensuring we wont be a charity e.g; Swinton, Rochdale etc....

My last opinion on this is anyone who has a bee in their bonnet about a single owner/investor and that somehow we should be self sustaining like 3 or 4 clubs out of millions of sporting clubs worldwide are absolutely on another planet.

yes we should all strive for perfection but in reality a self sustainable succesful Leigh Centurions in SL is almost impossible vs. a majority shareholder Leigh Centurions being succesful in SL is a very realistic possibility in the next 5/10 years.

Whether you love or hate Derek for what ever reasons can people not just be grateful and happy for everything he has ever done for the club never mind the last 2/3 years.

I used to do a lot of work with a company called Bazaarvoice who run key word summaries for online businesses based off customer review, id love to give them £500 to analyse not just this thread but this forum and some of the key words they would pick out are staggering.

Enjoy your club, enjoy your team we wont always have the structures and people we do now in charge for ever!!

Bang on mate. It gets to you eventually I was going to post a thread about wether folk would rather watch Leigh or Star Trek but thought better of it.

Anyways I am well chuffed with the current set up at the club we support although last season I bought our current Director of Rugby a pint b4 a game and never have had one back.

It was a statement not a question.

Never heard of a school issuing question marks before - would they have been boxed
