SL 2005 stopped us going belly up mate. You should have seen 2003/4 losses

Thats true as well, but my opinions where different then because all I saw was getting to the dream land of SL. Afterwards my opinions changed.

Well I know what we do need is a few people to take a reality check.

Yes but for AT atm we would be in real trouble. We dont have thousands of pounds to spend, and after the game in AT took time to talk to fans.

My hubby shares are still here and no one took up his offer to buy them at 1p each and the condition they put the money into the club.

What good would 1p do for the club

No the 1p per share was for Mr DJ - the condition to buying the shares from Mr DJ for 1p was that the person put money into the club as well.

How much money?

I hope its not one of those ''you can buy my house for a fiver but you have to give me £300k for the curtains'' type deal.

I think you know what the original deal was SOL

Starbugs deal wont be taken up because of the strings.

As I understand it AT has bankrolled the club via a directors loan from his business, if I am wrong then I apologise in advance, this has kept the club afloat.

If an investor walked in and said I have a million and I want to buy the club and invest the million on players to get to SL, AT could ask for his loan back first thus reducing the impact of the investor.

Bell/Hart etc invested a lot of cash in the club, they secured that investment on an asset, we lost that assett. AT knows we have no assets, hence he is highly unlikely to see his investment again unless someone buys control or we start making loadsa money. I understand AT did a similar deal at Saints and Wigan which had to be dealt with by McManus/Whelan.

I have a concept that involves converting all current shares/loans to new shares £ for £, and generating new income by creating shares for people to waste money on, the only return being a potentially better club which for most of us would be a better reward than any ISA.

Leighs future is working together, transparently. A partnership between fans and local business with a common goal eg Leigh SL 2012.

He has risked (given) at very little chance of return a lot of his money, for which all Leigh fans should be grateful.
