On this point, I don't think that is the case. I think the organisers may be guilty of that. 

But what we do know is that it is our biggest international asset. Despite a huge operation and a year delay, it is likely that it still mad millions and millions for the IRL. To that extent, it is our cash cow. It's just far thinner than we'd want it to be. 

But based on us having one money making tournament every four years, it's really diaappointing when it feels like a missed opportunity. 

One other point is the amount of staff and salaries paid out to around 70/80 sporting fucntioneers most who were utterly useless.

 

I met one guy in Warrington who was previously working for the IPL told me he was brought in to find sponsors from India net result ZILCH.

The marketing girl stated on her linkedin that the JW drop goal at the rah rah WC final was her biggest sporting moment :((

 

Anyway most now have a nice position at various other sporting organisations handshakes back slapping and great references provided all the way round best person for the job etc.

Pass me the sick bag please:)))
