Quote Adeybull="Adeybull"As did Wakey, and went bust for the same reason. Although it is still far from certain we would have gone bust had the Intervention not taken place (even if I suspect we would not have liked the alternative very much either). But you are missing the point. The OP made a false statement, and that has been debunked. There are plenty of other, sensible threads for debating sensible matters such as you allude to.
As for Davy, I wonder whether - in the long run - these very wealthy benefactors, who bankroll clubs for millions sometimes every year, are actually doing the sport any good in the long term? We are ending up with a batch of clubs that would go bust immediately if their owners withdrew, that are nowhere near standing on their own. At least Bulls managed throughout the first 16 years of SL to stand on their own, without a mega-rich owner. That is some achievement when set against our contemporaries. The Great Recession was always going to hit hardest those clubs that were having to stand on their own.'"
Yep Trin certainly went bust due to spending too much (though god knows how with the squad we had) on team and backroom(i suspect the backroom;)). there was also incredible mismanagement i mean 2 years ago try to get a season ticket deal or shirt and you may as well have tried voodoo to become a foot taller.
There are no sensible threads this site probs needs a probation system!
You are right the OP was wrong i should start my own threads instead or only look at ones started by the known semi sensible, you know who you are, you are few and far between though as lets face it your on an internet forum at 10:15pm on a Thursday.
All power to the wealthy who want to pump money in to RL i think they are all mad and god loves a madman.
Well done on those 1st 16 years by the way, you built a great squad and great fan base that would pay for yourselves.
RL needs the bulls as we also need a strong metropolitan Wakefield and Lancashire to that we can pump resources to the extremities and grow.
Lets learn from the past even if it's started by trolls
