I'm no idiot fellow, I have a degree in Economics. I understand what "book value", "net present value" and "internal rate of return" mean but I doubt you do. Advancing money ahead of when it is earned is effectively giving money away. It is generally called "a loan" for which interest payments are usually expected.

If it is a loan it is not 'giving money away' , anyway as far as we know the RFL is advancing money to the club from Sky as each club will get at some point. The way the situation with the Crusaders differs from Blackpool and Batley is that the two don't have the potential to pay back such sums of money through normal expected trading, I would have thought this might have some baring on the club coming to an agreement with the RFL and HMRC about transfer embargo/administration as Batley and Blackpool unfortunately cannot given their relative economic value. I may be wrong , I wait to see and hear what the RFL and the club has to say next week. The RFL need to give a definitive answer on where we all stand quickly.

The club has been crippled by the debt accrued by Samuel and the previous club in Bridgend, in Wrexham the club seems to have faired well in its first year. It shouldnt be paying for someone elses mistakes.

The players signed by the Crusaders were also signed before the club went into administration , they have not signed anyone since.

It is when no interest is requested.



No, but Batley haven't entered administration at all and still got blocked.

edit: and I understand that whilst Blackpool don't have the cash; Batley do and there is no reason why they should have been blocked.

If you could point out where the Batley statement contradicts what I said that would help. Ta.

Off the subject confirmed weller has left the club! How many more to go! Finally with a bit of luck it might actually be a team with welsh players in it!!
I think you would get less people complaining if you actually looked like your improving the welsh game but your not! Recruiting overseas players and has been English, no encouragement for progression really is it?

Is Paul Cooke a Taff?

See "has been".

If you are owed it or can be advanced it why not?

"Waster" is more apt.A talented player who is clueless how to put it to his best use.

OK, so tell me what your rationale for and what where you expecting in terms of a response when you started the thread?

You aren't owed it until you've earned it.

Or it can be advanced.
