sweaty craiq

Which said they did?

I think thats how most feel - its fixed term, hands tied and free

I dont and it seems some owners didnt either - cant wait to KNOW

You knew different then? obviously I only thought - and still looking for the wedding

lets give £500k to anyone for nowt, that seems to be your logic. My question was how transparent that fee was, I was certainly under the impression it was just reward based

Well avoided answers. Clubs need financial support now so how do we get to this commercial wonderland

It must be great to read Utopia without any financial reality - something many on here seem to embrace. When will we see the income needed and how do we fill the gaps now to even get to that future? I really look forward to the answers as basically these are the only questions that matter. IMG will be interesting, I was supportive of a win/win solution that rewarded results then we had the 500k bill that appeared?

God gave us speech for a reason, sharing it with others is my way of enlightening the masses

HeroDo you have a serious man crush on the lad

Who has benefited and by how much as a result of IMG, Bourgeois?

Am I reading this correctly - some fools on here think that owners putting millions in every season to keep a FT sport alive would choose to cut their own throats. RL fans are delusional

But was the deal what was sold to them?

Which bit confused you?

clocks go forward soon

Isn’t there a meeting tomorrow? Reading between the lines I think the IMG deal was creatively sold at best and just added to the waste of air top table we had. Feel really positive about all this in what is a vital year for RL

My ageing memory seems to recall MKM is council owned and a stadium management company run things heavily weighted to the soccer club

Woods will be a filler, holding fort and making sense of the mess. It seems folk are jumping before being pushed which means the ayes for change have the votes. we seem a world beater on how to ignore opportunity, don’t manage failure or encourage results based earnings. we must massively increase income before owners stop tipping up

This was the discussion point btw

So a 20 years in SL Oldham wouldn’t be competitive enough to motivate attendance - totally irrelevant to the conversation but it’s good fun joining in

That cap is a great fit btw

Total buzzcox like everyone else

Of course it’s irrelevant but also relevant, that’s why it was put in. We have a failing sport in France when benchmarked against others, a sport that can’t get a tv deal. We have a uk sport that survives on the largesse of its owners whilst tv income dwindles. How would you tackle those issues, or does the fact that others pay for your pleasure not bother you?

If Wigan played Oldham it would be the same but take more at the gate - are you advocating a random 12 clubs and to luvv off the French ?

Is that a lustful want?

Not heard that term outside the loony left for a while Most folk only read what they want to believe, often ignoring the critical point made. Put your cap on, it fits
