The former owner of North Wales Crusaders has hit out at the Rugby Football League following the club\u2019s troubles.<\/p>\n
Jamie Elkaleh had a brief period in charge of the Welsh club before it was taken over last year.<\/p>\n
However, the club now faces an uncertain future with the club owing money to numerous people, with players and staff all publicly speaking out.<\/p>\n
It has prompted Elkaleh to post on social media too, criticising the governing body after he claimed they had brought the interested party to the table, resulting in him stepping aside.<\/p>\n
Posting on X, he said: \u201cHey The RFL, Remember you reaching out to me, being super excited and saying investors with great resource wanted to take a club? <\/p>\n
\u201cI stepped to the side and gave the club away for free. I guess that isn\u2019t the case anymore? Why no contact? Do the right thing and contact me.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a follow up tweet, he posted: \u201cImportant note. It\u2019s super important to say. <\/p>\n
\u201cUpon the takeover. It was a huge relief. Major sponsors fell through so it was a much-needed injection for the club. I can only respect that. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut now, we need to secure the club.\u201d<\/p>\n
