Mr Rimmer was on Radio Manchester yesterday and said about his resignation "it was time to move on" that could be construed in a lot of different ways.

It’s been time for him to move on for years, so why do it now.

 No team outside SL could credibly say they'd get higher crowds, except maybe Leigh.

I think Widnes and Bradford both would in SL, and Wakey haven’t even had the years outside of SL for fans to disappear that both of those have.

The inaction, the game has gone backwards under his watch. Nothing against the bloke, I just don’t think he’s up to a job like this one. He rarely answers a direct question either, which I find frustrating to listen to.

Doesn't come across as CEO material. Middle manager at (very) best. As you say, the game has gone backward under his "leadership".

To be Frank I'm not sure what you mean by 'bin off'. Rovers are the only club in the Wakefield metropolitan area to take being in the 21st century seriously and to the shame of their neighbours

Now I am confused, I thought you said your name was Gordon

it hasn't been his 'watch'. He was the chief executive.

Don’t you think the chief exec should have anything to do with the direction and general health of the game? We’ll have to agree to differ on that one.

no. The chief exec enacts the decisions taken by the RFL, his employers, relating to the direction and general health of the game. If Rimmer has been involved in the implementation of this year's World Cup, after last year's disappointing but understandable postponement of it, then perhaps he deserves credit rather than opprobrium. The direction and general health of the game is in the hands of all sorts of influences.

Apparently so. Somebody said so earlier on the thread.

I answered your question in a civil, and I hope rational way. 

[DI Keith Fowler]

Gordon Street? Ah, yes, Gordon Street. I once knew a girl who lived on Gordon Street. Long time ago, when I was a young man. Not a day passes I don't think her and the promise that I made which I will always keep. That one perfect day on Gordon Street.
