Quote: wrencat1873 "Most interestingly, any "new" SL club is going to start off "behind the 8 ball", in terms of recruitment and if there is to be relegation at the end of next season (depending on the terms of any new TV deal), this could be a poisened chalice.
The chances of the new club getting relegated will increase with every day that goes by before a decision is reached.'"
That's absolutely spot on.
But I would draw people's attention to Mr. Beaumont who has already strengthened his team considerably and then announced to Superleague if they just pick Leigh he'll immediately sink more of his money into his team, with more already lined up decent signings.
I can't think for the life of me it would be fair of Superleague to just say OK thanks Degsy your in...
So they have had to open up the opportunity to others. We know that Mark Campbell can't afford it. We know Toulouse have stepped forward but again I don't know if they have any more money than Fev. To date I don't think Bulls, Widnes, York or Newcastle have gone public to say they want that place ......... Have London??
