Quote: Adeybull "Was it? That is news to him and Mr Sutcliffe.
Funnily enough, Blake Solly flagged up that a prospective new owner may have to make do with less money some weeks ago. He never said a prospective new owner had volunteered to.'"
It had been hinted at before but was probably most clearly stated this week:-
"League Express understands that the offer of the new owners to take only half of the central distribution for the next 2 seasons was a key factor that persuaded the RFL directors to approve their continuation as a Super League club" (Direct lift from page 3 of this week's edition)
Now that could have been an offer not volunteered but imposed during the negotiations as the only way we could remain in Super League. But it seems to me that the new owners did know before last Friday and possibly knew when they made the statement that we would spend up to the full salary cap.
Perhaps a question for the forum?
However I take the view expressed earlier by Ferocious Aardvaark-- all very interesting but we are where we are so let's think of the future and not dwell on the past.
