Announcement in tomorrow's YEP.

Not the New York Times then?

Salford takeover also looking imminent with Vievers already planning on how to spend the Koukash cash.

It's a mad mad world.

Maybe so, but at least they appear to be ambitious and are making the right noises. If licensing remains, this time would be our best chance of making it to SL. We are by far the biggest club in tbe CC and have the biggest potential. But do the directors really want that? They say they do, but has the club grown in the back office since our last licence submission? We obviously have juniors now, but what about a CEO, a Marketing Manager, etc. This isn't in any way knocking the club for what they currently do and they have to be applauded for guiding the club to make a profit. But it wound be good to see the club progressing and growing off the field if they are being realistic about SL.

She carries on through it all...... She's a Waterfall:

Good post and good analytical - tho definition of what makes a 'big club' is ambiguous, but either way Fax would compare on most facets.
Your comments about directors and their activity is key.
Craig Poskitt the CEO, Paul Taylor the Marketing gadgy, Mark Campbell, Daryl etc are never out of the media.
Whilst the YEP article and 'leaks' on social media/forums etc might have attracted some derision from some fans of other clubs (maybe with some concern because they see another club attracting significant opportunities?? - I know I would if it was roles reversed!!), - Nevertheless, Fev is hardly out of the media.
It directors and staff bang the drum at every opportunity 'bigging up' Fev whenever they can. It appears to be paying considerable dividend.
Are Fax's BoD/staff as prominent? Would you swap places - genuine question?

Of course we might well just not get a licence and Fax might get one. In which case I'll sulk and mornge for a month or so, bang on about the injustice of it all then prep for another game in the CC!!!! icon_confused.gif

The bit for me in all this is that Fev are putting themselves in the shop window, attracting investment and marketing themselves as well as sustaining a winning "consistent" side.

I applaud our directors for what they have done but I would be a liar if I didn't admit to being slightly jealous of the position Fev find themselves in currently. If it was a two horse race and based on consistency and back office set up then Fev win hands down.

As a club we have been quite stagnant for some time and we appear to resisting further squad improvements as we have already "ticked" the box similar to Widnes did but not quite on the same scale. This worries me as it won't attract new fans to The Shay.

The marketing, the new ground improvements, success on the pitch that Fev are experiencing right now plus all the positives coming out of the club just might attract new or lapsed fans back through the turnstiles. I do think we are some way behind Fev and considering how long we have been in this league now and planning for SL it is a little worrying just how stagnant we have been (taking into consideration crowds, consistency etc on the field). Remember we have won the odd thing but have NEVER been crowned League Leaders, beaten a SL side etc etc...

Remember it isn't that long ago that Fev were getting tanked every week in this league and got relegated. What they have done on the pitch and behind the scenes since coming up is superb and I applaud them.

I just hope this serves as a carrot for us to try compete and I hope we do as we can learn a few things from Fev in my opinion.

They're not the best team outside SL. They choke.

Putting that aside, this is great news for Championship RL and if he puts his money where his mouth is and Fev reach the dizzy heights then it will be an example of what structured investment can do for a Championship club and may encourage others to invest in the same way instead of going for broke with a sickly SL club. I am heartily pleased with this news - so long as the guy follows through.
