We can clear up by qualifying for others sky money when they go into admin.

On a serious point I do wonder how the club can survive in the championship on much lower gates, sponsorship and still with the millstone of Odsal.

The problem is the new Sky deal. Next year is the promised land re finances.

If there is no corresponding increase in salary cap, then most clubs will be able to finance Team wages (players & coaching staff) purely from the Sky money every month.

Lower risk of financial problems.

Imagine how many points teams will be docked next time an administration occurs given the extra Sky funding. Based on 6 for us, it should be the equivalent in the Football league of 5 wins! But in the new world of play off football for 8 teams it shouldn't matter a jot providing you retain your best players! Well done RFL, the brave new world encourages and rewards excessive spending and per arranged administrations!

Here's a little 'problem' like we used to get set at school
If the Hood regime was losing £100k a month on full Sky money and the OK regime was losing £100k a month on 50% sky money, then what is Marc Green losing on 50% sky money and 6k crowds.

Answer; if Green isn't losing a minimum of 50k a month funding the train crash that is our dear club then his next trick should be turning water into wine. The Nazarene couldn't get £200k out of Odsal right now.

Given the pricing for season tickets now rather than in dear old Peter's day, is 6,000 revenue equal to 10,000 then

Suspect they'll just open the stand and let the terrace rot. A lot could depend on how well used the 'conference and banqueting facility' [sorry, Coral stand] is. I think standard defence techniques are to hold on to the gas and leccy money right up to the red letter..

It will be a soulless experience for sure.

Don't forget ........... Marc Green can't do it all on his own.

Do what? Put his feet up and wait for us to be relegated so he can help himself to the parachute payment?

I think you'll find he's doing that by himself quite well

What do you expect him to do? I personally cannt even begin to imagine what state the club was in financially when he came. Even if we signed Kevin Locke we would still be in trouble. The heart and desire has completely gone from the team, doesn't matter what quality we have, if the desires gone, its pointless.

For me Marc Green is last person we should be blaming, don't forget the other consortium of Moore & Co had to make cut backs of £400k. We simply cannot afford to sign players who will get us out of this mess.

The only thing I would ask is Marc Green sack Cummins, the players we do have are so much better than this. Get a coach who will give them a rocket up their backsides and some fire in their bellies and we have half a chance every game.
