Bernard Laporte confirmed to The Independent that the Stade French assumes a good place in Super League for 2012. Former Secretary of State for Sports and coach of the France XV can rely on the support of the FFR XIII.

I've actually met Richard Lewis (owner of the Super League) last Monday in Paris. He is very interested in the project. He invited me to the Final Four Nations (England-Australia) next Saturday in Leeds. We are only at initial contact, but the draft is. "Joint early yesterday afternoon, Bernard Laporte confirms the information revealed by the Independent in its Saturday edition: French wishes Stadium integrate the Super League in 2012. "And the Super League is aware of this opportunity. Paris has
economic asset and media that do not leave indifferent Richard Lewis, "added the former state secrets to sports, the XV coach and architect of France sports climbing the French stage. now director of the club in Paris, Laporte Guazzini said that Max is, at present, not involved in the project. Guazzini Not? "It Gilles Morin, the French president of Stade Omnisports umbrella all sections of the club, which is," said Laporte. "But nothing prevents Max, if he wants to join us later." To reform the land the duo Guazzini Laporte? "I have neither the desire nor the skills to lead league "Laporte calm." I've always been sensitive to XIII, while the union still must for me. These are two cousins with different characteristics. "On the traces of meteoric PSG league in 96-97, this project there is likely to succeed? It has in any case of serious advantages. The Super League, as it has done with the Catalans Dragons, wants to expand its zone of influence set in northern England.
Larrat support In autumn 2011, the existing allowances (14, including 12 English, 1 French and 1 Welsh) will be redistributed. The year 2012 could therefore accommodate the newcomers. In September 2012, should also completed the work of the new Jean-Bouin stadium in Paris. It can accommodate 25 000 spectators. "Stadium French wants to live this stage 12 months on 12" announced Bernard Laporte. And timetables Top 14 Super League-are complementary.
Finally, the French Federation is campaigning for. "We have never hidden that France needed a second team in Super League, or even a third by 2012. Paris, through Bernard Laporte, is very interested, but it does not close not the door to other projects such as Toulouse. Some investors seem to be attracted by the Paris project. For us, it is obviously an approach that appeals to us, Paris offers so many interests. Remember also, to prepare competitive French club in Super League and expand the pool of players lights, we'll hire a team of less than 20 years in the Reserve League Super League led by David Despin, "said President Nicolas Larrat.
With what tank? But the black spots remain. XIII The French did precisely this reservoir sufficient for two or three teams in Super League? The results of the team of France at the Four Nations show the opposite. English clubs will agree they share a little more cake Super League with other French? Not a foregone conclusion. A franchise in Paris it not weaken the Catalans Dragons? If the viability of the project remains raised, its existence is now certain. It is a real first step.

Quote: bowes "The impartial view is that of judging all clubs by the same standards not making excuses for one set of clubs on an arbitrary notion'"


no it isnt, an impartial view is one based on objective criteria,

and that would be criteria that wouldnt be biased in favour of English heartland clubs or objective criteria that allowed for the intrinsic bias for English heartland clubs,

if you want to pretend all clubs are in the same position, face the same issues, have the same opportunities and challenges go ahead, but it does make you look like an idiot

Quote: SmokeyTA "i would hope they wouldnt be wasting any money,

and i certainly expect them not give a few thousand if not hundreds of thousands of pounds to a bank for no real reason,

depends what you mean by self-sustaining

if, the backing, skill, comittment and guarantees are there, yes,

the game is never going to spread throughout the world at amateur level, then to semi-pro, then to pro, if we are demanding they do we are demanding the game doesnt grow,'"


You sad get

Self sustaining as in Breaking even , you know , like a REAL ' business , you pay money to your employee's , they provide a product , your customers pay for that product and your business doesn't lose money

Stop acting thick , you have no need to

For once in your sad boring life , answer a simple bloody question

no, i dont expect them to have to break even i their first year, or even second year,

i would fully expect that the first couple of years at least would be loss making

i dont expect any club promoted to be breaking even or making a profit within its first couple of years

had you meant the club were in a position where that loss comes from internal rather than external sources, then yes, i woudl expect the club to budget to make a loss, and already had this covered with comfortable wiggle room

You can't really expect a sport club to be breaking even in their first year (some in 10 years) of a higher division. It's not important that they break even straight away. What is important is whether they have plans in place to eventually break even, when that will be, and how much investment it would need up until that point.

What I would also find important is how attractive that business would be to be taken over should the current owner decide enough is enough (i.e. what is rumoured to be happening at Crusaders). If they're losing too much and don't look like they'll ever see a return, no-one will take it, and hence the plug is gone. At least Harlequins have attracted backers.

If there is a high risk at a club, maybe a guarantee of some sort would be a good idea? We can't take a risk too big with nothing to come out of it if something goes wrong. If Crusaders go under it would be awful, and the RFL would be foolish to take a similar risk again.
