Sadly I think you are right. No doubt Argyle is a wealthy guy but he didn't get that way by throwing his money away. There is no money to be made in RL yet I imagine it takes a fair bit of dosh to set up from scratch, come up through the league's flying whole squads over all season with little fan base.

Toronto simply wouldn't survive without him and the sport is looking at clubs in NYC and Ottawa. It's a wonderful pipe dream but I just don't see how it works longterm.

It looks like the end of TWP for me, he seems to be left with the begging bowl, if it was that easy to raise capital all the clubs would be doing it. I think it’s time for SL and the RFL to put them out of their misery and kick them out. No team from North America is going to work, surely starting a NA league would now seem a better option going forward. No Chairman in SL is going to agree to give this team a share of Sky money, in these tough times they need every penny they have. It’s over

Just what I said several pages back mate.
Build up the game in NA and pull it up at grass roots level to get a sound foundation.
Then try again in 4 or 5 years time that is if SL exists.
You never know some SL clubs might be looking to join the NA set up!

Yes .even the NFL are taking things slowly in getting a foothold over here and they are mega wealthy. First they tried NFL Europe now they're having games at Wembley every year with a view to starting a franchise in near future. The stories coming from this TWP thing paying wages late ,but signing SBW for how many million contract ? What the annoying thing is RL being left with egg on its face again
