despite tax loopholes being closed.

Little worrying is that, "substantial sum" believed to be £500,000.



I don't believe a word Gatcliffe says anyway so the chance of the figure being higher is very much possible, let's hope the RFL and the Inland Revenue come to some positive arrangement that may work in our favour, i also cant see some of the current crop of players taking pay cuts either.

The fact they feel the need to comment on it suggest that it IS a problem.

Technically they won't be taking pay cuts as their 'top line' will remain the same. Any changes in 'take home' pay are due to changes implemented by the tax man and not the club. The players may not like it, but there is very little they can do about it (the same as the rest of us if/when income tax or VAT is changed).

we are in the best financial situation in super league.

He has a point; other clubs will have the same issue but we might be in a better position to cope with it. Definitely better than Sintellins.

The tax man will soon be turning that smile upside down!

Nothing about Andy Gatcliffe gives me confidence whatsoever, on the occasions ive heard him speak i can`t say he has left me brimming with confidence about the club. To be fair to him ive not heard him speak all that often but on the occasions i have heard him speak he hasn`t come across very well at all.



Is their anyone on our board that actually has a decent grounding in rugby league or are they just management people that in the main have come from other industries and fancied a change ? I`m not saying here that you need a grounding in RL to be a successful board member, what i am saying though is you need some form of experience in your chosen field of business from at least 1 person in a senior position because how else do you expect the business to be successful if nobody fully understands it ?



As far as i know we have Simon Moran, Doug "give a little wave" Hoyle, Andy Gatcliffe and Steve Broomhead in the main positions at the club, i don`t know a great deal about Steve Broomhead or Andy Gatcliffe`s backgrounds so if anyone could enlighten us all that would be appreciated.

Our board is basically made up of ex council people, managemnt from other industries and very little RL experience if any from what i can see. Its no wonder Paul Cullen was awarded a new 2 year deal on the back of under achieving and mediocrity if thats the make up of our board along with the strange decision to award Stuart Reardon a new contract.

I always get the impression that Gatcliffe loves to take the plaudits but that alot of the time he maybe flying by the seat of his pants.



Its just my impression and opinion and doesn't go any further than that.



I would say though that a £500k tax bill maybe considered more than problem irrespective of how strong the clubs financial position - which cant be that good as they wouldn't be doing so much cost cutting and having fire sales etc.
