Is The Dream Over?

Quote: childofthenorthern "The problem is the RFL appear to have no plan as to where we're going to play. Whichever division we are in we need time to put in place appropriate coaching, playing and support structures and the longer the silence emanating from Red Hall continues, the less time there is to organise that. How does the club arrange sponsors, sell season ticket, recruit players and coaches without being able to tell them which division they'll be competing.
There appears to be no valid reason the for RFL to not have a process to make that decision already. After the SLE clubs decided they wanted a 14 team league the RFL should have been determining how to make that decision even if no public announcement was made, That way as soon as the legal take over of the club was concluded the RFL could say 'here's the process we're going to follow'.
At present the closest we have to knowing what's going to happen is that there have been hints there might be a decision on how the decision will be made by the end of this week.
What we're asking for is clarity and the lack of that is leading to frustration and that's what is being voiced in those comments.
If the RFL announce a clear process then there isn't any room for those conspiracy comments.'"

I've said before that, much as deep down I don't want to drop from SL, there is an argument for relegating ourselves and withdrawing from SL.

If we follow plan RFL, not being able to recruit with all the current uncertainty, and then spend the next two years being deducted monies and making an impossible fight to be competitive before diminishing crowds and finances, then (most probably) being ditched at the next round of tendering as not being of the right quality for SL.

OR

Do we drop down now and build from whatever we're left with, hopefully have two successful seasons in the NL and then present a strong case, hopefully built on our still strong attendances and finances for the next licensing period?
