Prick.
...............and i'm guessing they didn't listen to KPMG when they shelled out £700k to Crusaders then?'"
Your argument is all over the place. I don't disagree that the RFL need to be careful about clubs and administration (and lets face it, with the whole HMRC image rights case hanging over the remaining SL clubs, it could happen again soon!) and letting them stay in the league but equally when you have more than one club in that position then you have to make decision based on financial facts. Andrew Glover didn't send the club into administration (unlike Moss and Roberts) and now the guy has turned the whole things around and got them in profit in just a few months. When KPMG sat down and looked at theirs numbers, including Halifax, then they clearly advised the RFL that Wakefield, despite administration, where financial viable, stable and even less of a risk than Halifax.
Well, they possibly didn't but equally it looks like the RFL are going to be paying to keep Crusaders in SL till the end of the season, so the bill is not going to go down... it will go up!
