    Interesting to see who will replace him if they do indeed replace him.

    Didn't Saints and Leeds put forward a vote of no confidence in him recently, possibly the TV deal looks like might be taken out of his hands and be negotiated by the club's themselves in future after the club's have all taken a hit of nearly three hundred thousand each on the last deal, either way hardly looks like a competent way to do business

    If anything it adds gravitas to the letter (id’d brand it as something more grandiose than a ‘letter’ but cant think of anything off the back of too much claret).

    We simply cant return to a beer and sandwiches and some sort of shitty Labour club way of running the sport. The days of Wood and Rimmer need to be put to bed. A clear strategy to grow the sport off the back of meritocracy and accountability needs to be ushered into the sport.

    Reminds me of the story about a club having an emergency general meeting and the chairman telling the members, the bad news is that were are on the brink of going bust but there is good news, the steward has offered to give us a short term loan to tide us over

    Yeah ultimately we should be thankful the RFL don’t have an oxygen thief like Marie Rimmer in charge of the sport. An absolute embarrassment to the town.

    Perhaps thats another issue; generally there appears limited intellect in many RL constituencies that could challenge the woeful governance of the sport. Judging by Rimmer and many Labour idiots penning some of the most ill informed nonsense on horse racing recently perhaps its a blessing they are passive on RL issues.

    No you have nailed it. Rimmer and Wood are birds of a feather. They are buffet munchers who got lucky, sadly it's normal folk be it fans or electorate who suffer. It's strange in life. Politics, RL Governance and the Church people get lucky. Eamon, Moran and Whelan are rich for various reasons and it's not normally built on luck.

    Elstone now alledgedly wants them to pay him his notice period up. I would make him come in every day at 9 and stick him behind a desk until 5. 440K a year and if it's true it's 12 months notice. WOW.

    There’s been a few changes around the rules of the game that he’s been behind that have been positive but he’s not had the overall impact required, so he should be sacked. I reckon he’s jumped before he was pushed.

    There's plenty of candidates. Paul Cullen, Martin Offiah, Johnny Wellies, Diane Abbott can all expect interviews.

    Diane Abbot would turn the £30m TV deal into £300m









    Or possibly £3m

    Actually we are mussing a trick. We should be sponsored by BLM in association with Sky sports. After all the great unwashed need to understand America’s problems are our problems and we are all inherently bad and need to be told how to think. Abbott could be an absolute game changer. Only problem is the £300m would likely be a cheque for 300m Lira.

    When Elstone was announced I was quite happy, mainly because I had never heard of him and he was coming from a much more professionally managed sport. Once he was in position he was the master of sound bites. I have never known an executive that comes across as such a lightweight as he does. There is never any substance nor depth to any of his interviews. Some of his decisions on the structure and changes in the game have have been a farce. Although the owners must bear some responsibility for that, Elstone doesn't appear to have provided much in the way of leadership. I don't know where we go from here but I hope we get someone with a better understanding of the game and with the ability to understand and connect with fans.
