Well done Town, great effort. Better than the lies and excuses from my own team.

In special measures aren’t they? Can’t sign?

Let’s go back to your opening post in which you say you believe the Club Statement. A perfectly acceptable view. I am an opposite view which I’m trying to put and tell you why I disagree with that. I’m asking why you believe the way you do and convince me I’m wrong. It is not being negative it’s having a discussion. Look forward to an adult discussion instead of the usual replies full of childish emojis.

Instead of coming out with the same stock answer about going on the Board convince me why I should join a Board that obviously can’t run a bath without the fans paying for it never mind run a business.

You say I’m negative. I’m asking you what hope you can see of a change of direction with the same people in charge who have been in charge for a number of years? No personal agenda. Eilbeck is the man that “has a significant control” and regards himself as owner. He has presided over the chaos and it would appear to have no control the business model he has if any. I am getting tired of hearing the same old ###### and being asked to put my hand in my pocket because of a Board that are incapable of even getting people in the sponsors or even sponsors. If you don’t want a public discussion on a public forum don’t post so anyone can answer. Bit late after you’ve already done it.

Why do you assume I won’t be there. Am I negative just because I’ve read the same blurb I’ve read before and seen nothing happen? As supporters do we just blindly believe every word that comes from the club? Haven’t missed a game in years, wished I could to more away but circumstances dictate I can’t. All I’m asking you is to show me anything that suggests: 1. What lessons have been learned from the chaos of the last umpteen years and where do I see that change. 2. Same people who have been devoid of any ideas about anything other than fleece the spectators for years back in charge. Don’t see anyone of these be able to take us forward into the 20th never mind 21st century. Don’t give me the old give them time etc. Eilbeck has been in charge since what 2015 or so?

Good luck to you, I used to be. Eilbeck has been in charge for how long now? He had the begging buckets out back in 2017/18 when someone wanted to take over. Year after year the same. The club has not been managed in any way shape or form stumbling from one crisis to the next, year upon year. All with one common theme one man. He does not like anyone that questions him. That’s why he surrounds himself with yes men. I have spoken to a few players and others down there and the way he treats players etc is terrible except when there’s a good win and he wants kudos taking them out on the drink. We saw that with Dion this year. Hope I’m wrong words mean nothing without action. We’ve heard it before it’s actions that count and I can’t see anything that says the culture of the club will change. Just give the masses morsels to keep them interested.

Where does this change come from? The statement issued is a load of bs. The same person has ran the club for years and the same happens year on year. All he’s added is the same yes men. Ask yourself why no one else comes forward?

3 Directors added today. Eilbeck, Pennington and Barry. Nothing changes one little bit.

If we pull out there will be no going in. Where do raise £100k to get back in and the if they let us?

I was under the impression it was when they had scholarships etc that was how they got such a good grade.

Newcastle were high up before they folded and came back in. They won’t be anywhere near that grading this time.

Hardly call them journalists They haven’t done anything to warrant a points deduction. If they don’t play Sunday that may come into operation. The biggest problem is if they go into administration. Will the RFL allow them another licence? It’s not a given going into administration and reforming.

Sorry to disappoint you he’s from Bradford!

I wasn’t talking about next season. I think he is a short term appointment and was coming in anyhow.

Looks like he got out before getting the push. His replacement was sorted before Jonty said he was going.

if anyone believes we are better off in L1 you want your head looking. Your second suggestion is even worse. If you don’t want to watch Cornwall, Midlands etc how many others think the same way? Which player in their right mind would sign for us after the well documented problems of the last 3 years? Might as well stay amateur as turn pro and still not get paid. These lads showed today they are good enough to stop up. If the Board had backed Jonty instead of chopping his budget etc we might have been able to field 17 players

Totally agree with you I was ecstatic when Maizen scored right on the hooter then get home and find Jonty Gorley has left. Having listened to his interview a couple of times there’s only one reason he has gone early and that’s the return of the so called knights in shining armour.

Due to an incompetent board that stood by and watched this develop all season. Now they’ve returned as heroes. The state of the squad available is down to them.

Must have been on a coach trip to Lourdes.

Yeah great. The same people that have made a mess of the club for the last few years. Brilliant. Bet the players are delighted.

He’s not in the squad this week. Only got a 16 man squad.

Was said at that meeting that if Haven were short of players Dion would play. Is 16 the new norm now for Haven?

It is sad but not unexpected. It has suffered from years now of poor management. No one with any forward vision and just reacting to situations. That many bridges have been burnt because of arrogant attitudes it’s unbelievable. I’m afraid you reap what you sow. They do absolutely nothing to attract anyone. It’s embarrassing and that is from a die hard Whitehaven supporter. I’ll continue paying my money and going to games until the gates close. That hurts me a lot to say that on this forum but until there is a clean out at boardroom level and people in the background I’m afraid the gates will close. Gloat away those who want to but be careful what you wish for.
