Reported in League Weekly. I don't have a copy with me sorry but it says that he has bought a 25% stake with a view of full ownership and would relocate their franchise to Boston or Phildelphia for next season.
The man certainly has a mission. Easy peasy to relocate a club and big potential.

Skolars have a great junior set up which would be viable for TWP.

What has a "thriving youth system" got to do with anything, as soon as he moves the first team over the pond that youth system is non existant as there is no player pathway to the first team. Very strange

He would have to give up the majority of his stake in TWP to do that as you can only have a 25% or more stake in one club.

Quote: Kennedy "how utterly fascinating..'"


It is indeed fascinating. So don't be sarcastic.

The question is: Boston or Philadelphia? Which city best serves the interests of rugby league in the USA? And does the project assume a separate New York team?

These are questions that I would like answered.

The question is

Is London Skolars a franchise and is he planning to relocate all of the "junior" players that are currently on The Skolars books ??
Please explain.

So Argyle might buy 25% of shares in London Skolars, he can't even move them 'down the river', never mind abroad.

I don't know the answer to your perceptive and relevant question.

JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover. There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg

This.
If the RFL relax these rules then I'm done with them....... The f&=%Ed London I. 2008........and London offer more than any imaginary NA franchises. Argyle. Sniffing around makes me think someone has told him. No. to a second side and he's trying to circumnavigate the rules.
Would Hector sell is another pertinent question?

Leigh fans are spreading false rumours on their board that Toronto Wolfpack owner David Argyle hasn’t been seen in weeks. What utter nonsense, he was sat with Paul Rowley at the Salford v Toronto game.

Argyle taking a 25% stake in the Skolars is a strange one. Perhaps he just wants to help them out financially and on how to attract massive numbers to games, as happens at Lamport Stadium.
