Quote: SmokeyTA "Fear
The three pillars of sales are Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. Create any or all of these and you will make a sale.

British Rugby League pre-superleague involved Wigan winning most things and other clubs going bust trying to match them. Remove the Salary cap and the game will become even more reliant on TV cash and benefactors. Leeds are probably the best run RL club in the northern Hemisphere, but if you let Marwan and Lenegan loose with their cheque books, it'll be back to the late 80's as quick as a flash....nice crowds for some, but bankruptcy for most.
The NRL already has clubs over-reaching to pay players more. The TV deal is becoming their own particular brand of opiate, with the idea of 4 quarter games being touted to allow for more adverts......

...yeah, let's put the lunatics in charge of the asylum. It won't end badly, I promise d040.gif

Ian Len
...yeah, let's put the lunatics in charge of the asylum. It won't end badly, I promise Ian Lenegan has made tens of millions of pounds, so have Eamonn McManus and Ken Davy. Paul Caddick, Simon Moran and Marwan Koukash have made hundreds of millions of pounds. I trust them to run their business, to negotiate individually with players. I don't think they need an added advantage in negotiating with them.

Im confident that Carl Ablett is not some business Svengali and he isn't going to bankrupt them. Im sure they don't need protecting from his outstanding negotiating techniques, I think they can keep a lid on things.

Quote: Mike87 "How do you know what would happen? You don't so don't go on like your an expert on how clubs are run.'"

Indeed. That said, given the amount of debt that most clubs are laden with, I would hazard a guess at "BADLY" as a description of how clubs are run.

With relegation back in the mix and the fiscal consequence of dropping down, clubs at the wrong end of the table would overspend in a desperate spending frenzy to avoid the drop. Clubs like Wakey, castleford, Hull KR etc would be forced to either pay the salaries that Salford can offer or miss out on players and dice with the drop.
Our TV deal is about 20 million a year.......we can't afford to play soccer type monopoly.

Quote: Mike87 "Pssst.......... the salary cap didn't do anything to help him, his problem wasn't being outsmarted by players asking for too much money.'"

Psssst.....just pointing out that being good at making money doesn't always translate to knowing how to run a club.

They won't be forced to pay anything? If they don't have the money they shouldn't pau it simple as that, it's the old case of if I put my hand in the fire.

Salford went through that for years and years before the salary cap and so did other teams? Why is this generation any differently that's sport for you.
