Quote: Chris71 "Under AP Hull look to be moving in the right direction with a tidy profit (no doubt bolstered by recent success etc) and as he alluded in the press recently on a sound foundation and becoming self sufficient.
What is a shock in those figures is that Huddersfields net liabilities are so big.'"
Well, Ken Davy has deep pockets clearly, but that's a long way from sustainable. I think I've picked up the right Widnes accounts; had a quick look and James Rule said he was focussed on getting them to around breakeven so sounds right. They're doing well IMO, cutting their cloth but surviving the relegation scrap on what must be a minimal budget. As with anything like this what's not declared is as interesting as what is, but you've got Leeds and Saints with huge assets through ground ownership, and high turnover clubs Wigan and Warrington seemingly propped up to the tune of £600k a year by rich and ambitious owners. You've got us, Cas and Widnes who are finding different ways to turn a small profit. And then Rovers, Salford and Huddersfield with much bigger net liabilities. All in all though you have to say the top flight is a bag of financial spanners.
