Quote: Bulliac "I wonder if OK made the comment about paying the full cap before the 50% cap on the Sky money became known?'"
My impression is that the offer to take a lower amount for the next 2 years was a key component of the business plan and was one of the reasons that the other clubs were in favour . So his comment was made AFTER he knew Sky money would be limited.
If he can still fund a 1.7 million salary cap we have some leeway and if Cummins is able to call on :
all the contracted players except Kopscak
a good proportion of the remaining OOC players
then we should still be competitive with fewer additions needed than we feared.
Also appointing him so quickly gives him a chance to review who might still be available either released by other SL teams or worth a punt from the Championship. Of the latter really sorry that we missed out on Walmsley but Moore at Batley is still relatively young and I think is a good player. Finn from Fev is probably too much like Gale to complement him but some of the Sheffield side look decent--- certainly better than Fax judging by yesterday. Of those out of contract at other SL clubs I think Solomona (who I'm told is planning to return to NZ but previously said he'd like to stay) and Fielden look possibilities
I'm delighted Francis has been given a chance and I am content at the comparatively long contract. I think that sends good signals to the rest of the staff including players .
Very impressed at the speed and decisiveness of the new owners-- within 3 days we know the identity of the coach , we know the pricing policy and we have a fans forum arranged.

10 Games to see if he can motivate players and get them to a structure. If he can do that he's already proven something 
Hell an opening day win is worth a 5 year deal seen as though we aint had one since around 2007.
