"The county is crying out for a successful Premiership club"

Too true. I remember the despair when the Takes where relegated. It was like Diana's funeral all over again.....

Short term? Caddick is probably dipping into his pocket. Long term? The guy has said plenty of times in the past that he won't be subsidising them forever - they'll have to be a viable business in their own right.

I guess it won't be long before we start seeing statements of "if Leeds / West Yorkshire wants professional Rugby Union, they're going to have to prove it."

The same august journal today describes Keith Senior as a shock omission from the England elite squad.

Did he not announce his international retirement after the WC?

fair enough

Leeds Met cant get anywhere close to the £4m salary cap in Union to compete with the big boys so let people who know what they are doing take over

Good to see John Ledger has his finger firmly on the pulse.

Genius. Caddick and GH get Carnegie to find them whilst they're relegated and hemorrhaging cash. They get back up and they get handed back.

Pure genius.
