Is he incapable of just keeping his big gob shut? The guy is a first class buffoon.

He's an embarrassment to Leigh and ultimately will be their downfall.

Anyone who feels the need to explain that he's a millionaire during a conversation, apparently to reinforce his viewpoint, is a bit weird.

Barrow coming to mind, Rich ?

Yes. It's nailed on. Followed by countless Leigh fans saying "well, I never liked the bloke".

As Shaggy said "It wasn't me".

As a multi millionaire Derek should no to have separate passwords for his Twitter and Facebook accounts. Either that or download an app that does not let you tweet when you are drunk.


‘I feel the treatment of my players is inconsistent with others with regards to testing and disciplinary outcomes.

I doubt that testing has that much to do with the RFL but more that the authorities know what they are up to hence why their players are getting chased for testing so often.

Rich,

It's disappointing that our 'BOD' attempt to apply strict rules on the players' use of social media', yet don't seem to think that the same rules should apply to them. How on earth you enforce those rules on the players, at the same time as running amok on Twitter etc. yourself, goodness only knows! A 'disciplined' example should be set by those at the top, and apply throughout the club - in any club. (in my opinion, of course!)

Perhaps if he'd kept his dummy in and helped the RFL, not my favourite bunch either, with their investigations it might not have come to this, instead his arrogance is what has probably ended up with this outcome.
I don't know the bloke but it doesn't look like the Leigh hordes are jumping to support his innocence so perhaps his attitude leads them to think he was capable of what he has been charged with.

spot on

Class,and di



gnity don't go hand in hand with Deggsy ,you might as well as add modesty to that, the guy could be ready to implode ,then where will Leigh be?Then to blame his son.

he's a joke.

Prior to the General Election didn't Mr Beaumont openly say he was backing Andy Burnham and erged every one else to.
Now he is publicly backing him in the Labour Party leadership battle.
Perhaps his approach to Mr Burnham is payback time.

Good evening John, at the moment I'm watching Lanky trying to win the T20 Cup,that are 90 for 2 after 11 overs , I'd say average,anyway about Andy Burnham, I'm sure he is still the Honorary Chairman of Leigh Centurions,which may be a reason Mr Beaumont seeking his advice.I could be wrong though.
