Quote: Donnyman "Absolutely not if any time or effort expended is at the expense of the game here.
For instance Toulouse and Catalans in SL means two English clubs NOT in SL.
For instance you send 2 development offices to France all expenses paid, these lads could have gone to Newcastle instead or Cumbria.
How do you justify sending any resources when Les Catalans have virtually abandoned development?
Even in the heartlands we struggle as badly as the French, so why forget those clubs and those amateur and schools leagues and go help the French game?'"
Cumbria = tried and failed
Newcastle = tried and failed
Nottingham = tried and failed
Sheffield = tried and failed
the "heartlands" are dead.
