I’m starting to get worried about jepson.
Everything seems to be stagnated.
Nothing coming from him.
Could he be out of his depth and took on more than he can chew.
Is the job to big for him.
Are any backers willing to join him.
I’m feeling very worried on this score.
Will he sack McGuire after he employed him.
Why give Wilson DoR when he’s crap at the job.
Things just don’t add up.

He made his first major blunder not long after he took over sacking Lingard who was getting performances out of a poor group of players just how good a job he was doing is showing itself now
Wilson is the one who should have been sacked but anyway if the task was difficult when Mr Jepson took over its a whole lot more difficult now

I’ve said this a few times on here OCL and got shot down by the ones who can’t accept a negative opinion. Clearly bit off more than he can chew. A successful business man would not have announced to the world he’s taking over without doing full due diligence first in every sense. Anyone who likes or follows rugby league knows in the uk it’s a dying sport and you do it because you want to, it will cost you millions and will never get this back - ken Davey for example he should have looked at or reached out to. As far as I’m aware he’s bought the shares regardless and that give him control of the land, he’s a property guy and if I’m correct now has land worth mega millions to developers what he has full rights and control over to do as he sees fit, not been sinicle but does that not make you wonder?

Made a terrible mistake employing DM. He needs to go. He’s sold us a few white lies already, how many more is he gonna sell? Plenty of talk doing the rounds from people well respected who used to have affiliation with the club he’s out of cash and no one has come on board so will have to watch this space. Not looking good at all.

He also needed to realise, first and foremost it’s pro sport, for all he did off the pitch he needed to invest twice as much on it. Look at hull, dreadful for years. New backer - spent on the pitch, second in the league and are having near on sell out crowds whilst our games there’s nearly more away fans than cas fans.

Rant over :-(

let us leave Mr Jepson alone he as put an amount of money into our club that most of us could only dream of, that is unless you know anyone who wants to take the reigns, my bet is he would love to hear from them

He can’t get any backers
Pushed the takeover back till July
If nobody is intrested from now till July the club possibly will have to go into administration.

Wouldn't it default back to the Fulton if MJ withdrew his money/purchase?

They’d own the majority of the shares but have no interest in putting anything else into the club. Jepson has put 400k in since the start of the year alone to keep it running. The ground is already mortgaged out. We wouldn’t last the year out.

If that's the case we're in a proper state and almost certainly will go into administration if MJ can't find any other backers and pulls out..... All very likely

Jepson has been bankrolling the club on a monthly basis & at the recent ‘meet the directors’ night, I understand he confirmed that he had put in £400,000 in the first three months of this year and also funded the preseason in Spain. I feel sorry for him with the tosh that is being served up on the field. He has got a lot of things right, off the field, but think he has made a mistake appointing McGuire.

And then all of a sudden 3 new props appear, which makes this page look a bit sad.

None permanent
One quality one
Two to be seen.
Could do with announcing some signings permanently or for 26

How valuable a Lee Crooks type signing would have been right now but hope the 2 loanees do well

We need props, signs 3 in 1 day still not happy.
The biggest issue with this club is the fans! Could win lottery marry a super model and be handed a Ferrari and still find something to moan about.

Yes, on the field we've been poor and could have been more proactive in our recruitment and we've taken a gamble on unearthing some hidden gems which hasn't yet worked.

Surprising how many people claim to be in the know but know sweet FA about anything to do with the club.

I genuinely think some comments on this forum are dreamt up by some people enjoying their mid morning pint at the blower.

Simple solution, if we're in that much of a mess then get yourself off to post office road.

The Ferrari these days dont hold their money and are impossible to get around with all the speed humps in this country and can you imagine the tax you'd have to pay on the lottery winnings :shock:

@Yorkshire pudding to some extent I agree with you, but in broadly little information people make up their own, or piece together hypothesis.
Plus, a good theory prompts a discussion whereas a "we're crap right now but it might be alright in the long run I hope" isn't much to chat about!

I'm not having a dig, it's always interesting to me how different people can read exactly the same things and come away with totally different vibes!

Whatever these signings are or are not, it cannot make the drivel worse, even if they are playing for something else away from Cas, there have been too many who looked like they were playing for nowt!
