I knew something was'nt right a couple of weeks ago when Andy Reid resigned form the BOD. He stated not having enough time for job or something like that. Makes you wonder what is really going on down the lane.

A shock to say the least....

My Club, My Cas, My Commitment... Oh, he's gone!

The Cas BOD got rid of Poskitt for various things that cannot be said on here.

Thought so.

It is obviously clear that both RW and JF are waiting for a pay-off. Shares went from £10 each to £40 at a time when we were trying to get more people to buy into the club. They will not budge until they get paid off.

There are 2 ways this could happen. One is a dream come true for Cas fans the other is not worth thinking about and will be the death of this great club.

1. Some one comes into buy them both out and we continue with the good work laid down by Steve Ferres and Nick Fozzard with a new BOD and new investment.

2. Wheldon Road is finally sold and they both take the lions share leaving us without a home, without a BOD and without a club. The end.

Given the sudden nature of the announcement, could there be a risky game of bluff going on?

He must have another job to go to, you do not walk away from a very well paid job unless you have a better offer. He left us , Wakey, twice I think and went straight into new employment. I think you will miss him on the rugby side of things rather that the commercial / business aspect of the job. I always got the impression that he was rugby man at heart, his dealings to bring players in, to unearth good young cheap players and to get a team spirit going. Richard Wright can easily cover the commercial side of things until a new person is in place. I wonder if Kath Hetherington may want to get back into the game.

I must admit Kath's name had crossed my mind. Didn't she show some interest last year in one way or another?

Re: Steve Ferres : Tue Feb 19, 2013 6:17 pm  

I know it doesn't look good Ferres walking but just because he's gone it doesn't mean anything is any worse than it was when he came You have just beat the world champions had 9000 fans watching and got a better team than last year Cas like other clubs have had set backs before and will again you will get through it if you all stick together The club need to stop making false statements nuckle down and show the RFL that they can get better

Steve Ferres resigned!
In my opinion this is not good news for the club but..... It may turn out to be a good thing.
I think that in a lot of people think the club needs kicking into shape. Steve Ferres may have suggested this and when come up against opposition, he resigns.
Some of the things that are holding the club back are out into the public domain now and from this we need some answers. It may come in the form of spin (again) but eventually something has to give.

We need another statement from the club outlining what the plans are for the future. Supporters have 'visions' for the future but are not able to influence anything.
Someone needs to be pro active. If Steve F cannot do anything just maybe this bombshell will force a move from the board.
