Oh I dunno, I think deliberate misdirection describes the situation perfectly; Wraps to you for coining it.


But, despite fruitloop postings from duhhh Trust!, theres been nothing to suggest the RFL arent being anything other then fair and consistent.

"Iconic" to the rescue again!

Broncos, you can learn from this. Dig yourselves a massive hole somewhere then consult some very clever scientists on how to create some kind of weird atmospheric inversion layer so that the temperature inside said hole is somewhere between the Antartic and the surface of Pluto.

The "28 day temporary SL licence" is something I've not seen before.
What was the plan had this new guy not come along ?

"And monies recently advanced to them by the RFL"
How much have they had off the RFL this time?

£300k, every club got it.

Though the Wakefield supporters trust is writing a letter to the RFL because Bradfords was paid by BACS where as Wakefields was paid by cheque and they demand an inquiry in to this unacceptable favouritism and an end to this conspiracy against them

So why, according to the article, was it an advance that would have to be paid back to the RFL, or is this in addition to the £300k that (you say) each club got ?

"It is understood that in order for Mr Lamb’s bid to be accepted, he would need to work to pay back creditors and monies recently advanced to the club by the RFL."

Why would any advance be paid back?

Its just a poorly structured sentence.

If money advanced needs to be paid back, it suggests it's a loan, not part of any due sky money

Then it would be a loan not an advance wouldnt it. But it says it was an advance and we know the clubs got an advance.

What i assume that sentence is trying to say is that he will need to pay back the creditors and work with the fact that some of the TV money you would budget for has already been paid as an advance.

I agree, but as all clubs received the £300k, how much of this years sky money after that have they already been advanced? And how much can they need now? Sponsors and season ticket cash should be brimming their coffers now plus the sky £300k! It's later in the season when money gets tight as there's a lot less income then but wages and stadium running costs still need paying
