Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "Why are they even talking to men with no money?
No funding to speak of, (and even that may be deducted for a year as the going-rate penalty); no sponsorship money; very little season ticket money; and the full 100% costs of starting from absolute scratch and having a brand new company and full club setup up and running within 4 weeks, with no money to pay any staff or players.
Is it just me?'"
No it's not just you, a fair few of us have seen this for what it is. RFL securing a few more months rent and hoping their fixtures can be completed by a skeleton team to ensure next season when the "New Co" dies they can simply replace them with an amateur side in L1 without any problems.
