Quote: Early Bath "LOL - Seem to remember Offiah himself in a Salford shirt.
So a club which went bust a couple of years ago and scrounged around obtaining cash from bucket collections offers more money than the Reds?
Is it any wonder that we have stayed solvent for nigh on 100 years whilst these comeday goday merchants scrape up more borrowed money?
If we borrowed more than we could afford to service then we would get the finest players in the world. Mind you we would be up the creek without a paddle in a matter of months if the club ever went that route. So lets keep things as they are please.'"
Just to correct you, Fax did not go bust. They had an unforeseen cashflow problem which, with the help of much appreciated donations from RL fans and a donation/loan from the previous chairman, they managed to overcome.
This was a major wakeup call for the club which resulted in a full financial reorganisation. Subsequently, according to a statement by the current club chairman only last week, the club is now trading at a profit. How many RL clubs can say that?
As a matter of interest, wtf is a "comeday goday merchant"?
. Nothing official as yet.
