Interesting times ahead for Cas fans.

France isn't allowed to be a director though?

Any numpty could be a director, he could ask Ferres to front it up.
Alternatively if Fully has taken all his posters of tricky down off his bedroom wall he could do it!!

So you mean Ferres is a shadow director for France, who will in effect be pulling all the strings?

You do know that is illegal!

It is not illegal to fund a business as a shareholder without being a member of the board of directors.

Thats True of course - but what you suggested is illegal.

If Mr France wants to buy some shares I am sure his money will be welcomed by Cas

But none the less its what happens in countless business worldwide, legal or not.
TBH RL clubs such as ours are in no position to decline such interest even things we are probably the most likely to be shanked.
Fortunately the RFL none of whom I would employ in any directorial capacity anywhere, are their to save us from ourselves, unsuitable suitors and ensure fair play!!!!

Isn't Glover just a front for someone else also? I'm certain that Wakey's new found pot-of-gold isn't all coming from West Yorkshire Windows.

I would hope so and if any of this is true I would welcome it with open arms.

We should realise the SL game has changed recently. Without a major benefactor there is simply no place for us at the top table. In a couple of years superleague will be run by 12 or 14 wealthy people. Men like Pearson, Moran, Davey, Hetherington and Lenaghan. Unfortunately thats the way the game is heading and if we want to be part of it we must accept this.

Cas Tigers as a club are still been held back by various forces. Fans are staying away not just because of a poor season on the field but because of disallusionment with the BOD and more inportantly fans cannot see any direction for our club.

Its time for change and we could go down one of 2 routes. Firstly we can accept major investment as I have described above or we could put the onus squarely with the fans. I have a feeling that Tuesday's meeting with the fans will indicate the latter and not the former and this route will only see us keep our heads above water a little longer.

AFAIK AG is the clubs sole owner, however there are now about 4-5 directors.

What about shareholders ?
