Not insensitive at all, if you got that from my post, you have misinterpreted it.
I think the crusaders board have brought sone dignity to the process, something the RFL never could.
Hopefully under their own steam, they will go onto develop their club, it's just a shame that it took the board to do the job the RFL should have.

The sentiment of trying to build a Rugby League team in Wales is a good one. But the RFL pushed you guys into Super League far too quickly. You would have benefited from 3 years in the Championship in 2008 and might have been in a better position financially and with a better fan base, and may have been successful this time around, had they done this. Now Rugby League is left with egg on their face and a lot of disgruntled fans and players. Good luck for the future

The RFL is to blame for this one. Fast tracking doesn't work.

I wonder who would have gone if Celtic HADN'T withdrawn from the bidding process though?

Good luck in the future to the club & its fans.

The decision was purely financal, the Crusaders board don't do dignity!

This would be the same board who, just a few short months ago, made an application complete with a business plan that was allegedly good enough for another three years in SL? That board? The same who only withdrew their application at the last minute after talks with the RFL?

Methinks somebody called their bluff.

It wasn't the speed of entering SL that was the problem. It was the inability to see what a cowboy the first owner was, and seemingly the second set are little better.

Incompetent management at the top level did for Crusaders, not their entry into SL.

Yeah, had the administration been competent in the first place there was no reason it couldn't have been a success. Equally, had the Wrexham administrators been competent then there was no reason that it couldn't have been a success in the North. Playing for three more years in the Championship wouldn't have changed anything, it's nothing to do with speed of entry and everything to do with diabolical administration, the club have been extremely unlucky in that the owners in both the North and the South have been crooks.You are a buffoon.

Keith Senior should honour his contract. If Robbie (hunter) Paul can play in the championship, he bl00dy well can !!!

Stop being so patronising.

Keith Senior made a comment in the press that he thought it demeaning to play in the Championship! Ha. I hope no-one employs him. Obnoxious bloke.

I see, the silly old man.

Is everyone sure that Crusaders are even going to be around to play in the Co-Op Championship next year. The RFL wording of earlier seemed to suggest it wasnt exactly a given, and I'm sure that administration has been mentioned again.
