Tbf no one is advocating kicking them out. They took that decision themselves.

So Parky, who exactly are referring to on Trl?

Tbf I think you reread the posts on this thread.

No more childish than the one eyed kick Toronto out posts.

Mate, their owner was/is a $$Billionaire and still is. Their owner always wanted to get into the NRL as he is Australian. Recently Melbourne Storm's sole owner decided he'd like to share ownership and invited David Argylle to go join him there. It was in the Sydney Morning Herald.

They tell us Argyle ran out of money but he didn't. They then tell us that he ran out of cash and his $Billions were tied up in his businesses, but it wasn't. He could have sold shares with just a phone call to his broker. I don't remember Covid shutting the stock market down? A full share of the SKY money is only £200,000 a year. Argyle spent $$30,000,000 on Toronto Wolfpack, he just didn't need the peanuts from SKY.

Read the stuff on the new potential owner, £200K is nothing to him as well.

The SKY money is paid by SKY so they can televise English clubs for their English fans who pay their subscriptions. There is no legal or moral requirement for TWP to get English TV money and if you go back through the archives you can find Eric Perez boasting that TWP will get far more TV money from North American TV.

The lack of English TV money had zero to do with Argyle walking....

How do you kick someone out after they've withdrawn themselves?

They talked about TV deals probably to get approval to enter the League structure here. Perez later waved criticism of no TV deal from North American TV away by explaining he needed at least five Superleague Clubs to be North American to get such a deal. (At that time as usual your club was one destined to make way for the North American dream).

At no time whatsoever (well corrections welcome) did Superleague agree that if TWP came into Superleague they would get the TV money.

But this TV money nonsense is rubbish. What's £200K to a Billionaire??

Way back at the start of the Covid crisis the Stock Markets plunged. But they climbed right back up as the year progressed so the ornery nasty trolling above is just that - nasty trolling. The Billionaire is still worth 95% of what he was worth before covid.

Makes it all the more disgusting he walked and dumped on his players and families.

[i[u"LiVolsi says he has not spoken to Argyle for months despite a long-standing friendship with him, as he is one of the people owed money. LiVolsi has also pledged to meet the £500,000 owed to players for three months miss pay roll to date, and negotiate the terms of any other outstanding club debts he says are still emerging".
[/u[/i

I'm not aware Livolsi is a $$Billionaire, but somehow he thinks nothing of offering to pay everybody up, and any more money owed.

Yet apparently David Argyle has gone bust? He's now just a Ornery guy.



His opportunity at Melbourne Storm to help pour more tens of $$Millions into that club is no doubt waiting for the time this "storm" blows over. STORM Geddit?

Was that a "yes" or a "dont know"

They're not eligible for any of the government loan, so not exactly sure where they think the money will come from.
