Like I said before on this forum we need some sort of sugar daddy if this club is going to have some kind of future.

With the new SKY TV deal, I disagree. You'll likely need a sugar daddy to win trophies, tbh, but survival should not need to depend on a sugar daddy. Unless Koucash gets hois way and the salary cap goes up dramatically, in which case we are back to square one.

What we DO need is some way of getting through to the end of this year, when we get our full Sky money allocation back (and the othe clubs lose theoir share of it).

It just seems every bloody thing that is happening right now is making that task ever harder.

We were asked, we declined and for our situation it was the right decision as it was the tip of the iceberg.
Where has that £500k got you I ask? As an outsider looking in it is very very easy to suggest it's got you nowhere!!

Would the bulls have decided upon such a penalty? I don't think so.
You have taken the soft option, SL stepped in and recognised that fact and dished out their own justice.

That may well be the case.

But that was not the point he was making.

His point is that we'll* take no lectures from Trinity supporters about the financial ecthics of not paying creditors when - unlike us - they declined to even make the attempt.

In any arguments about who has the right to take the moral high ground, you lot come last in line.

*Bulls supporters

Again, you are seeking to shift the argument, having failed so spectacularly to gain any traction with your original one.

Your "soft option" comment was quite clearly referring to the recent going into administration. Not what happened 18 months ago.

I repeat - again - anyone buying a club that has had £1.3m Sky money confiscated - and who was totally uninvolved and totally blameless in the stupidity that led up to the problem - is hardly "taking the soft option".

At least, unlike so many others from over your way, you are making an effort to support your arguments. But, on this one at least, I really think your argument is unsupportable.

To give a but of good news, scrutons replying to fans on twitter that he's not going anywhere.
Massive plus!

True enough, although we've been almost unanimously tipped as one of the two to go down since well before this season began, thanks in large part to the number of players we had to offload to balance the books. It's only in the last few weeks we've been able to replace some of what we lost.

As for the half pay - that was a seriously stupid arrangement, but wasn't it to repay a loan from the RFL?

Either way - I hope that things work out and that your club can be sorted out once and for all.

Scruton just tweeted that he isn't going anywhere.

Let's hope he is a man of his word (Unlike some ex Bulls).

[size=200Q: is it true your next to go??? Hope not been fab for us,club might as well pack in if everyone deserting them?

[iA: no mate I'm not going anywhere[/i.[/size

Might be worth the fans showing him - and the rest of the team - just how much they mean to us tomorrow?
