Quote: chapster "none whatsoever, i keep banging on about this but no one seems to get it, its a franchise to play in their league, like kfc or neros, you ask to be part of their product and at any time your franchise can be revoked,
we have asked nicely to be part of the SL brand, if we are turned down we just lose the rights to use that brand, in all honesty they dont even need to be open about the criteria, which of course by keeping scoring secret they are not.
this is NOT sport, its franchising, wake up and smell whats left of the roses.'"
Maybe not quite so clear. I believe that the RFL recognise the jurisdiction of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) so therefore clubs can refer disputes here if they feel they have been unfairly treated.
