Quote: Ellam "KR got own ground now bought surrounding land promised Sewell, MKM(who wanted to invest in us) both promised contracts for building on surrounding areas if they invest which they have, James McNicholl former KR chairman Colins lad and multi millionaire ploughed 7 million into KR. All on the KR board plus more sponsors queuing up the get on board but our chairman refuses help and people joining the board and I wonder why, plus as an investor what you investing in??? we don't own anything of note.'"
KR got lucky by being granted a patch of land around a stadium that hadent been developed for decades. Hudgell tried and failed to sell Rovers for years before that happened.
We cant blame Pearson for lack of assets, he of course bought the club already locked into the MKM deal and theres never been the finances to build our own training ground.
The other factor that isnt directly Pearson's fault is the TV deal, had the game being managed properly we could have been in situation where the TV deal was increasing while the salary cap kept the costs down and clubs could be making a profit. Instead SKY have the game over a barrell and you'd have to be a diehard fan to throw millions at RL.
