or maybe they should just take them to court and sort it out

I am inclined to agree, but as I recall the word from Cas on that was that it might not be financially viable to do that. I don't know why that would be the case. If Cas can't afford to go the legal route, surely the next step is to get the RFL involved?

They're not the best team outside SL. They choke.

Putting that aside, this is great news for Championship RL and if he puts his money where his mouth is and Fev reach the dizzy heights then it will be an example of what structured investment can do for a Championship club and may encourage others to invest in the same way instead of going for broke with a sickly SL club. I am heartily pleased with this news - so long as the guy follows through.

Pervert.

Bloody hell Gav. No wonder I stopped following you on twitter

Nahoobo is not to be trusted one iota. Every club he has become involved in has put up with his espousing his love for them, only for him to walk away (sometimes owing money). It seems that industry have already figured this out, Probiz have already been taken through the High Court by Williams Accountancy over "dishonest practise". However, sports clubs are so busy 'chasing the dream' that normal caution seems to be forgotten.
However, one does have to question why clubs are so eager to become involved with a business that is all about payment avoidance! Cas did nothing wrong or out of the ordinary, it's perfectly normal for a 2-year sponsorship deal to be paid in two parts, the mistake was believing that Nahoobo would pay. Steve Ferres has said he will be asking the RFL to become involved should the money not be forthcoming.

Wonder if its a loan deal similar to the one he offered Cas Tigers.

Any comment from a Cas fan concerning this character is going to smack of sour grapes and I do genuinely hope this deal works out for Fev but I hope Fev fans will remember that he is not a Fev fan or even a RL fan for that matter but a businessman who will put his own financial interests above anything else.

From an objective viewpoint surely he wouldnt be allowed to get involved in one club with outstanding issues at another?

The RFL would verify that surely?

Large investment in another grubby small town northern M62 RL club is the last thing RL needs. We've got enough of those.

Lets move on.

There's that word again - investment. It doesn't belong in this game. There is no such thing.

David Hughes: "I'm going to invest in London Broncos for another two years - then I'm going to let someone else have a go. It's not right that I take all this return on capital. I feel like a fatted calf. Someone please - take over".

An investment in a traditional financial sense is one you make with the intention of - at some point - being able to take out more money than you put in.

I don't think those kinds of investor are going to touch professional sport with a barge pole.

Your typical professional sport investor sees their "return" as being their particular favourite club being more successful, or just staying in business. They're still investors, just ones who are resigned to the fact that the money they invest isn't coming back.

Featherstone bring more to RL in a day than London has managed in it's entirety - nobody want's you other than the tiny minority who frequent this site. Most fans on the terraces want Fev and Fax back, but nobody listens.

I wish London would finally just go and your type would go with it.
