Quote Steph Curry="Steph Curry"How much profit do the owners of Man City make? How much profit does Robert kraft make on the patriots? How much profit does pat Riley make on Miami heat. Zilch.
Profit has nothing to do with it.
My point is, the people with money aren’t allowed to spend it because London broncos and Wakefield will get upset it’s not fair.
That is the reason our sport has gone backwards and is now an embarrassment. It’s basic business that to grow you have to spend. But it’s ok though because Wakefield didn’t get relegated so the cap is working'"
City are now the fifth most profitable club in world football.

City have been self sufficient for around five years and now spend the money they make themselves rather than the owner’s money.
Sheikh Mansour will almost certainly be taking a cut of those profits. |

When did the RFL mention anything like this Lebron ? RL clubs can't be spending money they have not got, look what it did to Wigan in their most successful period in the 90's (had to sell their ground to pay off outstanding debts) despite huge crowds, and big name sponsors. |

Steph Curry's argument relies on the fact there are people in existence out there with a tonne of money that want to throw it at some Rugby League club ina town they've never heard of. Pure delusion.

Same as Kraft the patriot owner, he's been raking it in for a few years at the Patriots. operating income last season was 260million.
I'm not sure why Lebron was talking about Pat Riley, he's a president not an owner- The Heat is owned by Micky Arison does, an Israeli Billionaire and no doubt with how well the NBA are doing atm with their eyes on China and their 300 million basketball players, and annual revenue growing outside the U.S. at a rate in the high teens.
Interestingly NBA teams are more profitable than ever. In the beginning of the decade, more than half the teams in the NBA were losing money. Last year, the Cleveland Cavaliers were the only team to lose money by Forbes’ count. The average earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, is now $61 million per NBA team is double what it was two seasons ago.Teams have benefited from pro basketball’s $24 billion TV contract with TNT and ESPN. Also the collective-bargaining agreement signed in late 2011. It cut the percentage of basketball-related income going to the players from 57% to 51%.. |

| Quote Psychedelic Casual="Psychedelic Casual"Therefore the bigger names don’t come over here, the bigger names we do have leave for NRL/Union, '"
Name a dozen "big names" who've left for Union or the NRL in the last decade. If you can, then that' just over 1 a year...hardly a drain on a 12 club comp with upwards of 360 paid professionals on their books.
Rugby League sponsors are booze, fags and bookies. Ciggies are no longer allowed, so it's booze and bookies. Booze is borderline, so now it's bookies. We are a budget sport and whether we pay SBW £2.5 million or £2.50, Microsoft aren't going to be knocking on our door soon.
Find 11 more argyles and yeah....let's play, but 1 bloke winning everything because he can outspend the rest is what we had with Wigan and that nearly killed us! |

And soon there will be a cap on formula one due to teams not being able to compete with the rich teams |
