Quote: Daddycool "Are we at cross purposes here. Whether its a debt or a purchase cost it's still cold hard cash he had to pay to get a super league licence. And don't kid yourself it was 20k!!!'"
Look at it this way, whatever the figure it was known at the outset. I believe people are doing AG an injustice.
The guy is no mug and very hard nosed when it comes to business, the way he held his ground with the CCJ's has shown that.
The Ā£40K he purportedly paid is all a red herring. He will have worked out his other liabilities in buying the club
and come up with a TRUE cost figure. This will have included your RFL costs. We shall never know this figure and
like some have said it could be considerable.
If he wasn't happy paying the true amount he would not have bought, however to blame things on debts from the last regime is fantasy. He has not been saddled with these at all.
