But without paying those contracts we wouldnt have attracted the calibre of players that we have done to a newly promoted club. Results would therefore have been poorer and crowds lower. Therefore revenue less and debts possibly higher than they are now.

Exactly. In any case no club has a 100% success rate with transfers. OK, the club could maybe have been more prudent with players, but of the big earners, who really has failed?



Like I say, I was mainly referring to the hull fans that are 'stirring' it, and the rovers fans who are hitting the panic buttons.

Money that [ihas[/i to be spent [ihas[/i to come from somewhere.

I think you are paying the contracts of a cup final appearing team. To consolidate you didnt need to.

If stories of trying to offload players are true then that kind of backs this up.

By contracts I am probably talking about 4 or 5 players that got more then their market value IMO not the Vellas of this world who have earnt the right to their deals.

Debatable.

But not on here. Too much thread drift people (and yes I did contribute to it) so can we get back to the original topic rather than yet another discussion of Rovers finances.

Ta.

We are spending up to the salary cap maximum now that Joel Clinton has arrived. Most of Super League spend to the maximum. Are they all cup final appearing teams?

Does every club spend to the cap? Does a team not spending to the cap not compete?

Do you think all your players justify their contracts? Think my point is that you are paying international class wages to non rep players. Fair point?

Bottom line is the level of debt is very high.

Ask on our board mate and i will answer it.

Excellent advice.

You have overspent. Thats a fact.

On the cap? I don't think it's possible anymore.

No, as a business

Possibly - but that is an opinion not a fact. If you want to discuss your opinion on our board, I'll see you there in a bit.

We're a capriscious bunch.

edit - doesn't mean we can spell it!

You are not kidding there is has got worse
