I shall ignore the insult because that just makes you look foolish, not me, but I will ask, why am I trolling? A cap was put in place to prevent clubs like wakefield going bust and all its done instead is stifle investment and its no co incidence that rugby league stock in the public eye has fallen since the introduction of the cap.

But hey, as long as wakefield dont go bust, everything is ok

Haven't more clubs gone bust since the introduction of the cap me personally I'd raise the cap by at least £500,000

a blow for salford and a blow for the game.

got us in the national media... ok not always for the best reasons but still, not many club owners can get the game being talked about.

rl needs money men like him in it, cant afford to be losing guys like him who want to push the sport up.

blow for salford too, they wont be spending as much as they did under koukash so wont get the players in return i dont think.

getting crowd of under 2k is very poor and i think koukash wanted to rebrand but it wasnt liked so prob felt like he wasnt being backed by the fans too.

Still hurts doesn't it?

Absolutely, because as fans of Hull KR there is a lot to feel hurt about in September 2017:

- Championship League Leaders
- Promoted back to Super League at the first attempt
- A 10% increase in season membership sales in the Championship compared to 2016 in Super League.
- 79% of members opted to pay full price (i.e. Super League-level price) for their membership this season and thus declined a 25 per cent discount offered by the club.
- An average home attendance of 7431 in the Championship.
- 90% of commercial sponsors paid Super League rates in 2017, despite been in the second tier.
- 8000 replica shirt sales
- A world-class coach
- A board who have effectively already pledged their full commitment and support for the coming season.

No offence but out of the two clubs I think it's ours which is in a much healthier state right now.

Trinity fan here, just what is it Wakefield Trinity have "never had...."?

I honestly think the 1400 crowd could have been the straw that broke the camels back. He must have thought that staying up last year and the subsequent great on the field season would have finally brought the fans back, strangely it did the opposite.

Would be nice to here from some of the Salford fans what their take on it is.

He's just nipped out for a ciggie. He'll be back soon

This red is waiting for details of what this means ... and, before I get the comments on attendance, I attend.
Never a dull moment.
Last health check and my blood pressure medicine was doubled in strength.

If the salary cap had just kept up with inflation, it would be in the region of £3.2m today.

The clubs only this year voted to increase it to £2.1m by 2020. By which time, the original salary cap set in 1996 would, had it kept pace with 2% inflation, be worth around £3.4m.

We're essentially giving our talent a 47% real-terms pay cut.

It's a shame there isn't an effective players union.

A club will only go bust if the man with the purse strings is careless or gets caught out being creative with accounts.

2 Million (at least) is the level of investment needed to prop up an badly supported club (I've seen the accounts for BroncoQuins 2007-12)....if you consider Wigan just lost 600k you can see why the Dr would prefer to stop throwing cash at the unprofitable bonfire that is professional sports..
