   What happened to the £2 million the council gave us  Cas and Wakey?.i know we have created a fan zone of sorts but is the rest just sleeping  in an account.

It's not for paying players.

Supposed to be for community things.

It's not cos of that defeat ( but can't have helped lol ) apparently Longys off to Warrington.

Yeah you have to assume there is a lot more to it than that.

Correct.

Anyway I blame @Harry Stottle as he heaped undue pressure on Fev saying that they would go the full season unbeaten. 

Yep. All Harry’s fault. Bloody Leythers, always cocking it up for Rovers.

  I know its a grant for ground and community use.If we had someone who could add up at the club and only paid 75% of total income on wages we would be fine.

Being honest but I get a vibe that Featherstone cannot afford or don't want to go up

If this opens the door for Toulouse to get promoted to Super League some flat cappers will be in meltdown

Well if Toulouse don't go up somethings wrong unless we really improve.

I would guess it depends on who you bring in as your next coach and his budget for the rest of the season.

IF you are struggling with finances PERHAPS you might have to cut some players

Ford as been announced for rest of season, you could be right but only time will tell. Now Sean has gone will Aekins and Hankinson want to go ?

I thought we'd reached peak silly season with Blake Austin going to Cas but I stand corrected. Very risky call with Fev 8 clear of 2nd place. 

I wouldn't be overly enthused with Ford if I was a Fev fan either. He did alright in 2018/2019, although 2019 was a very weak championship season with most of the other big teams waiting for TW to get out the way. Since then York have rarely lived up to expectations and the style of play has been very Conservative and ineffectual. Wakefield have come on leaps and bounds since he left and Fev have gone backwards.  If he fails now then I'm not really sure where he goes from here as Campbell will have him straight out the door if they don't get promoted.

Get it right - revolving door!

Doesn’t the opening post say it was mutual consent. 

Works both ways. He wasn't sacked, he wanted to leave.

Probably to go to Warrington.

I know but the thread title says Sean Long sacked. If he walks straight into the assistants job at Wire you can bet he wasn’t sacked.

Its difficult to get decent players in this time of the season, if you have to replace decent players. I think Fords in a no way situation here.

Probably releasing Sean might save having to pay him off ?

[Wire quin]

Im hearing he has been turning up late for training and missed a couple of captains runs recently.

Blimey!!!

Absolutely, for the aspiring championship champions what do you do? Go all in hoping you win the final? Which players would want to sign for a championship club with 7 games to play and no confirmed SL place? And the clubs, who has that money as a bet?

Don’t think that club can sign players now, until the end of the season. Not sure if loans are still allowed?.

They can only draw on those funds for specific infrastructure based projects. Wakey used theirs to part fund the Belle Vue redevelopment works. Cas have not yet used theirs but it is in the funding for the planned redevelopment of Wheldon Road.

Fev I assume would be doing similar, though probably focused on their main stand/facilities and the floodlight infrastructure for example.

Well nigh on impossible as the transfer deadline has passed.
