Really? Three interviews, the rest of RL could tell that guy was all hot air after one of his "interviews".
To be honest I always saw JM as a pretty "sharp" guy, had a bit of coherency and intellect behind his commentary an analysis. If it took him 3 interviews to see through RW & JF I'm going to have to re-evaluate my assessment of him.

Put it this way; I believe if JM had asked to see proof of the financial backing (i.e their records) the house of cards would come falling down.
From reading their other forum a major shareholder is claiming they're all but oing away with AGM's and RW & JF are playing a very much closed house. Hiding something? Yes they pay their taxes, but how close to the wind they ride (we know how that feels all too well) who knows?
For me I think it shows how close they must be by the lack of a "copycat" season ticket offer. Remember RW's never had an original thought in his life!


Couple of things seems you seem to like to know all things Cas:

1. Cas rejected Morgan after ONE interview, only one coach had multiple interviews and that is the bloke who has signed a contract - Peter Gentle

2. The club are doing rather well, the last set of accounts I saw showed a 27 grand PROFIT, so they're nowhere close to being in bother, Gloria has the same rant every year about the AGM because he has an agenda with RW and has made it clear in the past, he disagrees that the AGM shouldn't be held after the grand final.

3. Why would the club want to do one of these gimmicky season ticket offers when they lost money not make money? It's a desperate ploy to boost attendances and nothing more, which is why the first club to push it on everyone was Huddersfield - one of the worst supported teams in Super League before the offer.

Those accounts are close to being two years out of date.

Seems the companies credit rating took quite a bashing last week -- downgraded to a rating of "caution - cash transactions preferred"

Wonder what the ccj was for in February!!

I hear Morgan was offered the job but after full and franks discussions between the Cas board and Morgan he decided didn't want the job. I'm lead to believe that the playing budget was simply not enough to meet the boards playing performance targets. You can only do so much on a limited budget. I don't think Morgan sees himself as a miracle worker.

Once a Sandal Wild Cat always a Sandal Wild Cat.

Some talk of Bradford Northern and some of Hull and Leeds
Of Wigan and St Helens and such great teams as these
Of all the teams in Rugby league with me you will agree
The best team in the whole wide world is Wakefield Trinity!

Bring back the British Coal shirts for 2012

Come home Steve Georgallis & Nigel Wright

You have put your credibility on the line on this thread with your 'inside knowledge of the goings on at cas" be interesting to see how it all pans out'

Not sure we can have a go at other clubs for financial prudence and telling the truth to supporters at all times.

Bang on the money. Had a text from a mate of mine who played under Morgan. Morgan turned the job down as the Cas BOD want to win the league within 3 years but they will not budget paying out anywhere near the salary cap.
