Why did that sugar daddy leave again?

Two things:

The fans hacked him off through irrational behaviour.

The "hobby" became too expensive.

It's no co-incidence that he packed in when the asset value of owning players plummeted and with the death of the transfer fee.

Why he left is irrelevant. The results of him leaving isn't. I'm not saying clubs should walk away from SD's but the business model HAS to change. I think Koukash is about to do that at Salford.

You haven't actually understood anything posted on this thread, have you?

I dont think that anyone would mind if there was a programme digging into the finances of RL (or any other sport for that matter) but, this programme clearly didnt manage to do this.
Obviously, the number of clubs that have struggled financially in such a short time is a worry for most RL fans and shouldn't be ignored and i'm sure that Big Nige and his buddies at Red Hall will be looking at such matters

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but who are the two clubs who have been afforded charitable status?

Bradford and London ?

I can understand why London would qualify (advancement of sport in 'new' area etc) but can't see OK Bulls Ltd qualifying for charitable status.

Many NRL clubs have a charity status arm as oart of the organisation. This often does charity work, pays players to work with scumbag kids etc.

The vast majority, if not all, SL & most Championship clubs have some kind of foundation/charity for community work. Nice way of writing off a load of kids who probably just need a helping hand, a bit of decent parenting and a few positive role models in their lives.
