Eccles at least talking about us still existing in his post match interview. V cagey about whether he'll be there which is wise from him, but a shame.
Could be a very small group Lefty! Thought at one stage he was getting a bit emotional & who could blame him. Despite a litany of mistakes by Hughes since he had control of the club, as Orange frequently reminds us, this current position is totally of the RFL/IMG's own making.
It is beyond me why some teams signed up to the patently daft criteria put forward by IMG, but they did. Hughes needs a slap for that because that was the time to push.
Who in their right mind thinks Social Media presence is more important that developing young players? Who the hell given how large Leeds' catchment area turned out to be is fair if we apparently only have the Borough of Merton? How objective is a 3 year evaluation period when SL has run for 28 years? Then the final cherry on the cake, implement the changes from the following season giving one club & only one club no chance to remain in SL?
Hughes failed to join the furore when it was at it's height, then threw his wobble when everyone else had lost a bit of interest. I'm not aware of, but may have missed it, that the morons responsible have ever tried to justify any of the selection criteria.
Anyway, unless Hughes wants to waive goodbye to his millions, he has to continue in the hope that somebody at some time will buy him out. As it stands, the club assets are a few players who seem to be signed for next year, goal posts & balls. Not unlike Roy & Barbera Close in 1984 & its only taken 40 years to get back to that. A dark room to lie down in I think. If the club survives, hope Cake stays as he has done better than I thought he would but guess Sheriden will be off.
