6 Point Deduction / board walks

Christ, what a shambles.

I detest modern sport. I hate it. Every year for the past 10 has been one financial crisis after another for the teams I seem to support. Maybe I'm cursed? I honestly thought that sport couldn't get more surreal than transfer deadline day at Elland Road but the goings on at Odsal always seem to try and go a step further.

RL, just like half the other sports out there, have sold their souls to television to the point that half the clubs are unsustainable without the money they receive which just isn't healthy. Even then it looks like you can only be really financially secure if you have someone stupid enough to pump their own hard earned money into the club.

I dare say there are other clubs out there who would struggle without the Sky money, but unfortunately it seems that we're the only ones who they choose to punish in this way. Whoever comes in (if anyone) will essentially have their hands tied from the start. It's easy to say that we don't have to pay the creditors now, but surely it's not that simple both morally (ha ha ha!... morals! But in all seriousness, they have employees and people depending on them too) and also due to the fact that we will still need services and products to operate as a club that we will have to source from either the current creditors or someone else?

Meanwhile, the people who (on both occasions) have taken the club into administration trot off over the horizon. What punishment do they receive?

What a stupid way of running a sport.

Maybe we'd be better off joining the RFU instead, after all I hear they allow broken time payments now...!
