Yeah absolutely...why should leeds for eg. be dragged down to bradford's level because of the latter's own failings? But something has to be done because a number of club owners clearly can't be trusted with a cheque book.

Perhaps the cap should be fitted (see what I did there ) to each club based on their overall income/turnover etc like the new FFP rules coming into football. Yes it might make SL too one-sided but I'd hardly say the salary cap as it stands is providing a thoroughly competitive SL anyway.

840k and 900k from OK in "loans" and a 200k loan from the council.....1, 940,000 is 3% shy of 2 million...I'd call that pretty close.

The money from OK isn't a loan. You know it's not, that's why you've put it in inverted commas.

And I notice you don't try and justify the other figures you were readily quoting earlier in the thread. You remember? The ones you made up?

Nor do you even attempt to consider the other sponsorship monies coming into the club. Provident aren't the only people on our shirts. The corporate boxes aren't called the Coral Stand because they have views of the Great Barrier Reef in them. Plus a multitude of other hoardings in and around the ground showing goods and services being advertised. As well as the advertising at the training ground, though I'll admit that's not as profitable as the ones in the stadium.

Out of interest how much does it cost to run a SL club paying full salary cap? I would have though 4-5million pounds?

around 3.5 - 4million is figure usually quoted. which is pretty much what bradfords income will be in 2015 season assuming we finish it top 12 and get full central funding again. 500k from sponsorships, 1.2m from season tickets (assuming we maintain current 6.5k levels and dont increase), 1.2m from sky, approx 400k from walkup support and away fans. remainder from merchandise/bar sales and hospitality.

Vasytly different figures for different clubs I expect.
