We had no chance to recruit any decent players by the time we won the million pound game, all the decent players had been signed. Also with IMG stating we will not be in Suoer League next year, who wants to play for London?

That's easy. They should have signed SL quality players regardless. We won the championship because we had brought in some top quality players part way through the season. Before that we were pretty average.

I seem to recall we have been here before, apparently spending to the cap with a very under performing team. To quote Orangeman, somebody is stealing a living if that figure is true.

Perhaps Hughes is paying his son a big amount

I will say that when IMG binned us off, I was the first to knee-jerk and say that we should move straight back to Trailfinders or even go all in at RiskyPArk, turn up get hammered every week with an amateur squad and pocket the 1.8 million for spending over the next 5 years in the lower tier. I was joking of course, but it would seem that other than Wimbledon FC and expats fans of SL sides who live on London, nobody else is benefitting from our surprise SL status this year.
I'd hazzard a guess that the brewery are paying 2 tenths of bugger all for the shirt whilst the London Irish charity was a simple "mates call" as the corp guy has worked there before....it's really a shambles AGAIN with free tickets being handed out as confetti but achieving nothing more than a bemused locals watching us get mullered week in week out, declining fan numbers and Hughes sitting in the gold lounge surrounded by 40-80 hardcore fans thinking everything's fine.
