Betcha they don't get all that even if admitted, then it will be up to the Italian if he wants to carry on or not. PS and they will still have to fund the visiting teams.

How interested is LiVolsi really after his own admission that he did not give his submission the attention it deserved, Elstone said he had been advised what the topics to be covered were so half the job was done for him, I just feel that if accepted and there is something in the future he doesn't care for he will scarper, I don't think he can be trusted.

I honestly have no idea. Perhaps he wants to be a Caddick style investor who puts money in but lets Bob Hunter run the organisation. I don't know enough about him to pass judgement. Like I said this is about the other teams of whom its clear 3 of them are not for turning under any circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few people who believe in the purity of on-field being the only way of deciding who plays in what league are coming out as big fans of committees making these decisions instead. 2 hours ago, Tommygilf said: Ends justify means! It isnt really true though is it? Unless a committee makes a decision now we have 11 teams. I think I can confidently state that Gubrats doesn't want this situation. And indeed, if Gubrats was in charge we wouldn't be in this situation, which is something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't enjoy this situation , it's about the last thing we need right now And yes if they'd done what I suggested then things might have been different , might not , but we'll never know , it may well have given David Argyle time to find short term cash investors and put together a more realistic squad to play through the 2021 season with a chance of avoiding relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have solid financial backing, a top notch ground, decent squad with juniors and they already pay travel costs. They tick plenty of boxes. Toulouse attract very little fans. Wolfpack get bigger crowds but they do have the grassroots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I'm just saying people saw the crowd that toulouse olympique got when they played their first game at Stade toulousains stadium and make it seem as if they get those crowds week in week out. Far from it. Toulouse get similar crowds to featherstone the team that expansionist love to attack. We'll see if they improve now that they made a permanent move to Stade wallon.

They in a similar position to toronto they need other sports fans.
