Widnes were denied last time around on the very basis that they went bust the year before. Wakefield enter administration whilst holding a license and their license is granted a second time around.
Keep your nose clean Halifax. Do the right things and you'll be rewarded. ![]()
You are an idiot if you think that KPMG didn't advise the RFL who was more financial viable and in actual fact that it is financial stability that was main reason Wakefield did make it. So your argument is pure hogwash and as I said on another thread, I trust KPMG more than you... or me, to make this call!

True enough, but only if you credit the RFL with any integrity, honesty or consistency. There is plenty of evidence to the contrary in recent years. |

It paves the way for any club to do what Wakefield have done then? Go bust and just start again and keep the license.
Prick.
...............and i'm guessing they didn't listen to KPMG when they shelled out £700k to Crusaders then? |

Salford, Wakey, Cas, and HKR are no better a proposition than Widnes, Leigh, and Fax. Indeed the latter all play in far better stadia. There is no sense or decency left in RL, we must change it if we wish to expand or indeed regain some credibility.

How can you possibly use those terms in the same sentence as "RFL"?
If you want to see how corrupt the game has become take a look at who owns it - Rupert Murdoch. I rest my case. |

And you can add Featherstone to that list too. |

No. Otherwise Wakefield wouldn't still be there.

Your argument is all over the place. I don't disagree that the RFL need to be careful about clubs and administration (and lets face it, with the whole HMRC image rights case hanging over the remaining SL clubs, it could happen again soon!) and letting them stay in the league but equally when you have more than one club in that position then you have to make decision based on financial facts. Andrew Glover didn't send the club into administration (unlike Moss and Roberts) and now the guy has turned the whole things around and got them in profit in just a few months. When KPMG sat down and looked at theirs numbers, including Halifax, then they clearly advised the RFL that Wakefield, despite administration, where financial viable, stable and even less of a risk than Halifax.
Well, they possibly didn't but equally it looks like the RFL are going to be paying to keep Crusaders in SL till the end of the season, so the bill is not going to go down... it will go up! |

I never said he did but the RFL is owned by his company and are scared to death of losing their funding.
