Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

One thing you will predict is very game to be "a must win game" :D

The boldest prediction is Toronto being in SL. Elstone confirmed that their promotion isn't a done deal regardless of their play off results. Be interesting to know how many chairmen are currently opposed.

Will they oppose it though? I mean each of the other clubs gets an extra £150k next year if they come in, due to not getting a share of money.

Boldest is been sane enough to say such a club would finish 6th. They would have an hell of a battle not been bottom.

Think you’ve placed us slightly too high. I’d go for 5th or 6th for us.
And Toronto way too highly. I appreciate they’ll make signings but I think their team currently is around 10th 11th SL quality.

They have to let them in. If not they’ll be up for a hell of a court battle.

If there's no opposition why isn't it already approved? After all, they've lived up to their billing as overwhelming favourites so far. They've had a full season to sort this but it still isn't.

No, while I agree that TWP probably wouldn't make top 6, I also consider it likely that they wouldn't finish bottom. I think there's a couple of clubs at least that might think the benefits to them of admitting a lamer duck might outweigh the extra £150k. Particularly if Toronto's home fixtures are once again backloaded and given their financial position that would allow them to strengthen through short term signings if the need arose. Their admission would be a bear trap for certain clubs, make no mistake.

It’s one of those ridiculous situations you wouldn’t see in a major sport. The way RL makes things up on the fly is crazy sometimes.

On what grounds? Elstone's stated it's yet to be determined which suggests to me that TWP has nothing in writing from SL confirming automatic promotion.
