[quote="Scarey71"]Didn't Irvine confirm that Chalmers was putting substantial amounts of money in?
Yes he did, though I read that as being a reference to this year. It may be Chalmers who covered the loss last year, but it's probably someone else.
To start from scratch with a full time professional club most likely meant that an initial loss was always part of the Business Plan. Maybe that's why the administrator wouldn't accept the bid. £500k isn't a huge loss in terms of sport. Yorkshire CCC would love a loss like that!
That doesn't mean we should take it lightly though, especially with our history, but it does seem to be covered.
If nothing else it's a good reality check for a few supporters who think the playing budget is a bottomless pit. Every time we announce a great signing you can rely on someone posting "ok, still could do with a couple of props, a half back, some wingers etc etc". We probably could but who's paying for it?
