I can see two people debating legal semantics (only one of which has a background in the dark arts), but nothing to suggest it's not a true statement when taken at face value.

Taking the Leeds CEO at face value is not something I've ever been inclined to do.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

I never claimed GH wasn't telling the truth. I just pointed out his statement wasn't a commitment to do anything.
It's a subtle but important difference beyond the likes of Batley and Bywater. |

That's a pretty low thing to say.
With an attitude like that you are no better than the very people you despise. |

 Oh Behave yourself Mary Poppins.
We're not talking about vast swathes of the Southstand being culled, just a few of the more annoying little bellends who infest the place.
And if the other end of said girder went through that soddin' drum.....  |

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

I can see the obvious advantage to not having to spend significant amounts of overhead on salary in order to attract additional customers who you can't comfortably accommodate when in fact you can achieve the same end of season results by not spending any extra money at all, season after several season - speaks more for the quality of the opposition than the quality of the Leeds team.'"

I agree, thanks for posting that.
It further reinforces my thoughts about Warrington & their "management" of the salary cap.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

Boll0cks - Gareth is in a minority of one one this - there was nothing in the statement "We will once again be spending to the cap" that suggest that is not a commitment by the Leeds CEO to spend to the cap - however you look at it and Gareth still hasn't justified/explained his interpretation.
I personally think if the current squad is what we are going with we will be 400/500k under the cap.

Sal ,whilst i totally agree that we must be under the cap if we stick with the squad as is do you really think it would by so much?
I think it will be much less when you consider the new upgraded deals for Hall ,Bjb ,Watkins ,Mcshane(yet to be announced) plus the imminent arrivals of Moore and Griffin.
I do however hope we spend the cap and add at least 2 more players with the quality required for a return to challenging at the top. |

It's irrelevant though. If it wasn't a lot under then the CEO needs his lumps testing, because it certainly isn't value for money. I have said it before and will say it again, it is not necessarily what you are paying in cap (he could be 1 million below it for all I care), it's what you are getting for that money. IMO even going with the current squad all the way down to juniors, we would be better off by releasing Webb, Kylie, and Kirke. |

You come at the king - You better not miss.
It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg |

The Ken Bates school of sports club management? Why risk more to get to the PL when you can turn a tidy profit with minimal risk and milk the true fans for every penny! |

Very good thread that - sounds like the Bulls fans are at least getting frank and open feedback from their board.
Some of the supposed "in the know" fans on here really ought to read that thread...
Who was it that recently insisted that Warrington weren't throwing money at youth players and were only picking them up due to our incompetence? (the Bulls disagree to such an extent that they've pushed the RFL for a youth team salary cap)
Was it Sal Paradise that recently suggested that because we had better income than Bradford and Saints we have underachieved under GH? Adeybull highlights that saints are expected to lose 1.5m this year (but have an owner with deep pockets)...as I said at the time: Leeds are SL's all time most successful (financially viable) club.
