Now, now, I didn't say that or even imply it.


Nope, I didn't say or imply that. I can see how franchising could work but not in it's current format or with the current league structure. IMHO, of course

In my opinion we would need two league of twelve with p & r with both league being fully professional and also the only way to boost the crowds would be to have an even league e.g. always thinking your teams has a chance to win e.g. same applies in aus.

Also I don’t see the point in having overseas player with a franchise system

quality?

Is it just me, or does that sentence make sense? I don't understand what you're trying to say.

I'll have a quick look in Wiki

Maybe it is me then!

It's the last bit that does not seem to sit right "doesn't hide the fact you lost the argument as well as you think".

I somehow expected to read "worse than you think" but I will bow to your superior knowledge.

TB seems fair minded but t'other one usually just bangs on and on and on and on ...... until he gets the last word.

Just to put things in Rl a little bit in perspective....

Premier League clubs lost £361m last year despite record £2.3bn income. Only five Premier League clubs made a profit in 2010-11. Man City made the biggest ever loss by a football team in the country.

Basically you just need to add a digit or two to directly compare the state of finances in football to RL. But of course all the problems in RL are to do with an unsustainable structure, franchising etc....

But wasn't franchising brought in to bring 'financial stability'?

For Championship clubs, yes.
