There hasn’t been any mention of any other party being interested which would normally have been the case plus Kirklees’ track record on projects isn’t the most dynamic

And the council don’t actually own it

Who signed off on the £750k Rothschilds contract? Was it the clubs, ie the SL ones, or the Governing Body and if so on who’s recommendation ?

It’s a shame that it is not the full truth isn’t it

He isn’t clueless. He’s deflecting at best

June 2028 and the RFL “announce” (sorry leak via a client journalist) that the 3 month review announced in 2025 will now continue for another 12 months as there has been a shortage of pies available at Haighs

You don’t have the full facts, despite the original findings being published, but you are on Aston’s side in this matter. Interesting view to take and clearly because you aren’t anti RFL at all

He hasn’t learnt anything from this has he?

That’s how I read it

I think the 26th was mentioned. HMRC will usually not blink first so the club will need something realistic & concrete in place to prevent any further action

I’d love to know where they are claiming the bridging loan is going to be repaid from

You mean Watkins who definitely blobbed on playing and, from memory, a Captain’s Run when he was Captain

It is a rollover on the lottery this week

They owe a lot more than that according to the figures previously stated

So not really sorting out any issues as a bridging loan is short term by definition and HMRC and the salaries are due next week

Dan Russell and Tom Whitehead to Salford on loan

So not all the debt then?

And if for all the debt then it’s for a significant 7 figure sum which will require some serious collateral in addition to a very clear & specific repayment source

That was so last month

Bridging loans are still debt. They still need to be repaid usually in the (very) short term. Unless additional funds have been borrowed cash flow won’t be improved.

When did the offer for him come in?

Reports from where? Rowley?

Sky seem to like Rowley and get on well with him

A good manager or coach would understand what players like Stone have been through and continue to go through due to the complete and utter mismanagement of the club and keep any personal thoughts to themselves. Mind you this isn’t the first time that Rowley has tried to throw a player under the bus for looking after themselves.
