Whippet13 1,527 Posted Thursday at 15:23 Report Share Posted Thursday at 15:23 Hadn't seen this, but Whitehaven's Chairman (Tommy Todd) and their bar manager (also the licensee) quit last week over what looks like boardroom in-fighting. Today, it appears 4 more directors have also quit and from the (2nd) article below it looks like no-one has overall ownership control at the club. This sounds like quite a mess, does anyone know what's going on and likely implications for the club? https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/whitehaven-chairman-resigns-amidst-ongoing-situation/ https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/five-directors-quit-whitehaven/ Link to post Share on other sites

Is there an entity or person who does have actual overall control? Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Don’t think so,two of the directors are the largest investors but couldn’t tell you who are the largest shareholders. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
