[DAZROVER1985]

Sounds like mr Fulton is putting in just enough money to keep cas ticking along without any progression, maybe he should raise his game or sell up!!

[Viking Warrior]

doesn't look good does it??

[JohnM]

This just in: someone has resigned from something.

in other news: the world continues to turn on its axis

[Viking Warrior]

that's three from senior posts at one club in a week..............i think that's news.

[DAZROVER1985]

Did they know something is about to happen or is it just all coincidence?

[keighley]

Rats, sinking ship, abandon etc.

People leave their jobs and they are rats?

[chuffer]

Are participants in the "rat race" actually rats?

[chuffer]

Is scat porn about people getting off on vocal improvisation with wordless nonsense?

Not literally. As I think you well know it's a reference to an age old saying as in " Even the rats abandon a sinking ship". In this context therefore it is referring to the large number of employees leaving all at the same time, when it is speculated that Castleford are in deep if not terminal financial trouble, for their survival in the job market. Therefore, they are jumping ship as do rats when an actual ship founders at sea.

Depends what you mean by "in the mire"

Its a turn of phrase, I dont particularly think its derogatory, nor do I think there was any intention to be derogatory. They are not implying that anyone is a rat, and to suggest so is ludicrous.

How ironic.

And Wheldon Road is not a ship either.

The rats are Always first to leave a sinking ship: puts people's loyalty into question

In any case they are by no means the first since in recent months at least three senior members of staff including current chief exec and general manager gave left and joined featherstone rovers

How ironic.

I suggest you check out your own back catalogue for a bit of double irony

[Exiled Wiganer]

Can you have double irony? Isn't that a statement of fact? Where's Ed Byrne/Alannis Morrisette when you need them?
It does not look good, at all, but recent history suggests there is a long long way to go before we'll know how Cas' short and medium term future is going to pan out. Good luck to Cas, they're a wonderful club.
