Not "really" at all Mr. Willzay if you note his move to check out outsideventure capital investors that cost, was it £750,000? Add his own Salary and there has been an enormous loss of money for nothing. There may be an argument we had to get someone in to see if they could find the game new investors and riches.

So that may be fair enough, at least we tried.

It's not for nothing, he was clearly instructed to 'look' for capital investment which doesn't come free.

He was. But when all the clubs at the bottom of the league voted against it, hardly his fault

voted against what ?

Re: ELSTONE : Thu Jan 28, 2021 10:05 pm  

Just out of interest is it the same set up in football? that is, in the permier league for example, do the clubs all vote on major changes in the same way as RL does or do the leaders have the clout to force things through, and its then on their heads if it fails.
in fact are all sports leagues run along the same admin lines as RL of is it perhaps a bit outdated?

Football runs the same way with the member clubs voting

Well thanks for the reply, I get the venture capital thing if these people are adept at putting £Millions into a straight forward business that provides goods or services and reaping £Millions more as a result when sales rise thanks to that money being "invested".

But I can't think for the life of me what Superleague could have done with a capital investment. Superleague isn't a real business.

Those who own the clubs chuck Millions away because they can and because it's fun, and often because it's a release from proper business??

Doesn't Mr. Moran sink £Millions into Wire because it's a great hobby and something to enjoy outside proper business??
