Even IMG might struggle to make a silk purse out of this particular Sow's ear!

It could be worse, you could be the WRU (Wales Rugby Union).

Then you get a load of cash for your game, but use it to build a 5 star hotel instead.

Is there much call for a 5 star Hotel in Wales? :D

It is telling (or not) the Union have been happy to discuss the numbers invested by VC companies and even the NRL mentioned a valuation of 3 billion AU$ when mulling it over, but the RFL/SL have gone down the Stobart route...giving IMG some major aspects of their products in exchange for a cut of the income......
I see 2 x 10 divisions, no relegation, play offs, games 5 days a week or more and increased TV exposure....this is a very American company who know how to make money.....question is how will the SL owners take to being told what to do?

Think there are plenty telling him what to do, especially Orangeman but he seems incapable of listening.

...that's because
A/ I'm just one of a dozen or so "old whiners' on an internet forum
B/ Everything Hughes and the club are currently doing is working perfectly
C/ He is a stubborn old narcissist who doesn't take advice
D/ A marketing specialist once reversed his car over Hughes' Dog
E/ All of the above and other inane reasons

Unless Hughes knows that London will be involved in this New IMG Stooper league, I can see no logic in any decisions made at the club in the last 18 months

Assuming he knows, the squad assembled this season demonstrates his utter contempt for fans.
