I'm hearing they need 350k plus. Apparently they owe ground rent, kit money, coaches wages. I don't know if that's to complete the season or to stave off liquidation.

The problem is that it will only clear the current problem, there'll be others looking for more money soon.

They seem to be ring fencing money to rebuild not pay debt. Which would mean liquidation and nowhere to play?

I would imagine the liqudator would want them to keep playing there hoping to get a 6,000 plus crowd against featherstone wether they will be allowed to go ahead with the game is another matter

the administrator said this was the only time he'd dealt with a clubs administration where the club was completely rudderless. the only man left apart from the players is the kit man. it was him that had to break the news to the players that they were.'t getting paid. james rule says he has had death threats and doesn't want anything more to with the club.
it was also said they've had all the £500,000 parachute payment.

Koucash has put an offer in for the club apparently, needs to be agreed with board od directors and administrators. If true and granted then they should keep all there assets.

I’d love someone like Marwan at Cas. We’re a self sustaining club who could use his investment to really push us to the next level.

I'd love someone with Koukash' money, but not the guy himself.

I would suggest that maybe, due to the situation at Widnes, overseas players going to new clubs may get ‘quota relief’ along the same lines as Crusaders players did in 2011?

Given the twitter spat between them & Fev with both sets of supporters piling in there could be tasty game on Sunday.

If he’s non quota for the duration of the contract I’d take him as long as we can fit him under the salary cap for the next few seasons.

If we assume Roberts is going it could leave us with a quota spot still and room to recruit another player elsewhere.
