To reiterate what I posted on the other thread, again you would have to know investment was on its way to vote that way.

| Chalmers who’s been very vocal - as the chair of the Champ and League 1 advisory group - hasn’t said anything other than to explain why he argued against Bradford going up automatically.
Suggests to me that some sort of financial compromise will have been reached.

| Quote Great King Rat="Great King Rat"It may have something to do with funding for next season. In today's LE it says there will be a more even funding level in the championship next season so if we know we will get an extra £100k for example by voting with the SL clubs it makes sense for us to do it with the situation we are in.'"
If the funding is evened out completely you'll almost certainly get slightly get less: approx. £219k v £225k

Level funding will not come into it now, if as we are lead to believe that SL have agreed to award tge relegated club a 500K parachute payment.

Also, the top four Championship clubs, should still surely get their £700k (approx) funding in 2019, for finishing in the top four this season?

Hi Hudd-Shay.
That was my initial thought too. However, despite everyone being supposed to vote for 'the greater good', I guess our owner (along with any others) has to do what he considers best for his club. Selfish, I know, but I can understand why he would vote that way, especially as he should be aware of all the facts and implications of the deal.

Oh I've seen that. As suggested elsewhere the Championship clubs' chairmen should maybe now push for a realistic (for all clubs) salary cap to negate the effect of that.

But if you negate the effect of that, how do you actually get to Super League?
I think its time the lower tiers go it alone. Far better RL down there. They just need to get their fingers out.

You will no longer have to beat SL sides to gain promotion so don't need to match their squads. Any side with £500k more central funding than the rest should (clearly Leigh have proved the exception to that) have a distinct advantage over the other 13 clubs. All that's likely to happen is SL will become a 12 + 1 closed shop with the same couple of clubs going up and down.

Absolutely. I would rather watch Hemel v Leigh than Saints v Wigan
