or those on the payroll
All "Dave" wants to hear is that we have a team and we think they'll do well next year.
The Business plan that has been submitted to him lays out the plans to have us back in SL inside 3 years and operating close to self sufficiency. If he believes that I may well come back and grab some of that 'easy money" he throws about whilst taking peoples word as some sort of cast iron business plan
He has a track record of making terrible decisions and no matter if he throws another 18 million at us over the next 3 years, I have a better chance of getting Petone Panthers (Wellington RL 2015 season P: 14 L: 14 PA: 812 PF: 155) into SL.
For the record: For London Broncos to exist as a viable self sufficient RL side in Superleague, we need to attract either another wealthy benefactor willing to spend 2 million a year+ or 10,000 fans to games. We are moving to a stadium(sic) with 970 seats and not a snowballs chance in hell of developing a new stand inside 3 years, one of our "major" signings for 2016 is an outside back who is one injury away from retirement, a rumoured signing is a prop from relegated Doncaster and next year we will face stiffer competition from a rebuilding Bradford, a full time Sheffield and one of Leigh, Wakefield or Salford, not to mention the 4 SL sides with a larger cap should we make the middle 8.
The concept that we would be back in SL by 2019 is as laughable as some of the terrible decisions made by the person on the far left of my signature and those he employed to the right!
I will continue to follow the team, but the club as an entity is nothing more than his Tonka Toy!
