I thought it was multi millionaire backers or does it now have to be high turnover AND multi millionaire backers? Can you stop moving the goalposts on this one
Eh? The Big 4 have had a stranglehold on GFs, I think we can agree on that.
You then brought profit into it, as if Wigan making a loss was relevant. They can afford losses because they have a rich backer to underwrite trading performance. We are disadvantaged because a) we don't have the size of the big clubs (turnover, assets, employees) and b) we have no rich backer so have to manage our P&L more carefully. None of which changes the fact that the Big 4 have been dominant. Now, we may well get a Cas v Salford GF this year, but I would be surprised.
