me too, despised though we are in some quarters for such blind folly. But the saving grace for me is that whatever happens, the club that is lost to make way for a promoted club in 2014 is seemingly 99.99999999999999999% nailed on to be poor old London, isn't it? Can you realistically see a way out for them? I mean, it may not even be a contest as so far they have no ground and no squad, in effect, as I understand it.

There is some (IMHO remote) possibility that if London do fold, a Championship club would replace them in SL2014. That may be so, and theoretically relegation may still be left in place, but we all know that in those circumstances, the cobbled-together new SL club would be guaranteed to finish last by some distance, whatever troubles we, Wakey and anyone else have. So the way i see it, if we stay alive, we stay in SL for at least one more season, And then the Sky money's back, so it's like we are playing the season for a prize pot of half a mill.

Well, the RFL haven't yet announced the definites anyway, so I guess anything is possible. Much depends on how many clubs are going to be in the division [on an on-going basis, not just next season and, as you correctly say, what happens with other clubs.

It's going to be interesting..

There must be a point coming soon where the RFL turn round and say you need to confirm all these things as a Championship club will have next to no chance in being able to compete next year and what could have been a year to plan to join SL could be the one that they end up playing in for 12 months then relegated and replaced by a competitor. I dont think even with protection for a club coming up it would be the right thing to do.

to bring a championship team and give them immunity from relegation on a one off basis but they really should have sorted it by now - and I'd guess even they know that.

That said, they have little choice but to expect London to take up their position on the starting line and it's only if and when they don't that the recriminations will begin. Start announcing even possible successors too early and it makes London look like a basket case, which might well then be used by the club to show that the RFL's precipitate action was a cause of bringing down the club.

If restructure plans go through then two go down. Which puts us in frame alongside London, Wakefield and probably Cas.

Oh, please let's have an end to all this and get back to some rugby..

Omar Khan Vs Andrew Calvert.

This is going to get very nasty and I actually sympathise with both parties. The combined actions in the 12 months prior to administration of the RFL and Lord Peter of Hood have virtually made the club un-rescue-able (sp).

I can't recall any poster specifically 'defending'. A number have tried unsuccessfully it must be said to add context, or point out some of the basic realities associated with purchasing a club that had been catastrophically mis-managed for years. Some of us have some (limited in my own case) experience of trying to keep a ship afloat with precious limited resources and overwhelming responsibilities, and whilst lacking inside information or access to accounts, have some sympathy for a task which looked impossible and has proven to be so.

For your part, you have routinely responded in the manner of a four year old.

I supported Omar. Was I wrong? Don't know yet it'll all come out in the wash.

I'll support the new lot too though because it's what I have to do.

Who cares whether I'm right or not and who cares whether you are?

You obviously but does anyone else care.

What I will say though is I won't be eating at Omar khan's restaurants any time soon.

So Omar did put money in then? And he wants it back? Seems fair enough.

So you think the new board are on the wrong now? I can't keep up with your stance from one day to the next.
