Latest at Oldham is Chris Hamilton (CEO 25% share holder) has agreed to buy out Bill Quinn (75% share holder) for an undisclosed fee, to be paid on a future agreed date.
In the short term I think this is the only way out of this for Oldham. I suspect once this agreement is signed the £47, 000 to the tax will be paid avoiding the winding up. Then we carry on until the next crisis.

See you soon!

Quote: a.n Other "Ahh so you don't know then. Well you could just have said. I'm not desperate to know what this amount is. But you orignally posted CC and CC1 get SKY money. But you don't know the figures so you were just presuming this is the case.'"


Can you see how illogical your statement is? probably not.

Also the pooling and distribution of funds is beyond your understanding. so lets pretend the £100K the clubs get is funded by the fairies icon_wink.gif

Quote: Andy Gilder "If Sky lost the rights to SL in 2010 (say to a free-to-air broadcaster) but retained the rights to games at levels below SL, how many people do you think would retain their Sky Sports subscriptions just so they could watch Championship and Championship One games?

SL brings the overwhelming majority of rugby league orientated subscribers to Sky, so it receives the overwhelming majority of the funds from the TV rights
.'"


I'm not against it recieving the overwhelming majority of tv monies, in fact i am saying it should, but that championship level clubs should also recieve a percentage of that money that is free to spend however they wish, i think 10% of the next sky deal to be spread out between all championship clubs would be fair.

Hopefully the club can now move on to a brighter future.

In reply to whoever it was that asked was it Oldham Bears that played in the WCC. Yes it was. They were one of only two or three British clubs who actually won a game against Australian opposition.

It wasn't illogical in the slightest. I asked how much of the money CC1 & CC clubs get is from SKY. TB stated the £100k was from SKY. You didn't give an amount in your previous responses so we can only assume you didn't know how much cam from SKY. You could have just said you didn't know. Instead you just went on to confirm most peoples suspicions of you.

Quote: pyeman "Apart from the money they get to appoint certain fulltime backroom staff what money do they get? how much money do championship clubs get that they can decide how it is spent? Why is the idea of putting more lower league games on sky ridiculous? last time i saw the figures they were getting about 60% of the viewing figures for saturday sl games, are you seriously telling me that sky cant make a profit with vieing figures like this? its far from there least viewed sporting entertainment.

[apart from £100K what do they get? You are joking surely. icon_rolleyes.gif

People have suspicions about me? icon_eek.gif Goodness, what dull lives they have. They should get out more.

So clubs desperate for money may refuse £100K - surely not?

Most CEOs / GMs of c clubs will be on less than £50K.

The CEO string is just one of the many, as I understand it.

Is this 100k that they are free to spend on whatever they choose? no it isnt so read my post again. Why do championship clubs not get to decide how to spend money they are given but sl clubs can? I'm pretty sure sky do make money out of championship games through advertising as they do when they show all of there sports, if they didnt they wouldnt show them.

Once again how do you know what this money would be spent on? any tv rights money would be spent on a number of things, as it is with sl clubs, which have shown investment can reap big rewards.

Where did i say that any club was bailed out with money they werent entitled to? you do really need to start reading my post better. i'm saying clubs have helped themselves out of financial trouble with sky money (which they are entitled to) i'm also saying championship clubs should be entitled to do the same by letting them have a fair share of the sky monies.

Quote: tb "£100k – subject to strings regarding a full time professioinal chief executive and marketing operation, iirc.'"


Nope.

It's up to £100k - it's not a defined amount per club. £100k is the maximum a club can get but the amount each club gets differs depending on criteria and circumstances - it can be anywhere from £0 to £100k. Additionally, the money isn't just given over by the RFL - the club has to employ the person first and then apply for the money to cover their employment cost, if the RFL reject the application then the club is left with a salary to pay that it often can't afford.
