It's the 21st century, stop heralding past glories and look forwards. What can other teams offer that we can't? This is - and should be - about more than just on the pitch and selling a few more burgers and pints on the terraces. Especially when capacities will be capped next season and away followings minimal as a result. No. The be all and end all is that success should be earned on the pitch. Sport is just that sport, not a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So don't qualify. That doesn't rule them out at all, it's just one of the assessment criteria which have different (unpublicised) weightings. FWIW they also apparently have unsatisfied CCJs against them. But with a low weighting for this section of the assessment it could be effectively irrelevant.

What are the weighting percentages by criteria if you seem to know so much. If late filing accounts and have CCJ's then in my opinion should not even be considered.

The weightings aren't being published - but they exist The documentation reveals that each criterion will carry a different weighting, but it doesn’t disclose what the weightings are.

Wigan and saints are streets ahead , Leeds and Warrington are the nearest challengers , the rest to be honest are ALSO-RANS . championship for me any day. And if you look at all 4 of them, everyone has excellent academies alongside their quality first team. Any team without a decent off field setup will struggle massively especially when injuries catch up. Basically you are amongst 8 clubs competing for 5th and avoiding relegation!

DEANO Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Basically just like existing super league clubs there is no criteria. You just need your face to fit sometimes you have to take a step backwards to move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can they even be considered? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/18131271.amp/ Debt is much lower now. Accounts are due to be released soon which will show this. Andrew Chalmers wrote off what he was owed which covered majority of the the £1.5mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
