You wonder what happens to Hudders when the Davy funding stops.

In all fairness its the same for the majority of RL clubs and it can sometimes come down to a bit of luck. What happens at Wakey if Carter had not stepped aside, how long before the new Bradford investor runs out of money, its the same at many clubs. For Fax we have to go back to Tony Gartland for someone with real money and we all know how that turned out.

According to Gledhill he mentioned the other day that at least one of new Bradford investors had stated that he wasn’t going to keep pumping his money in just for them to remain a Championship club so with him at least it will depend on them getting into SL within the next couple of years at the latest.

Still no sign of the Fax accounts on Companies House with just over a week until the deadline. Thought I'd look at the Giants accounts whilst I was at it, still to file themselves but the 2022 accounts are horrendous. Insolvent to the tune of £19 million, and assuming the huge "related party" creditor is Ken Davy why anyone would want to plough so much money into a RL club is quite insane, especially when it doesn't appear to be appreciated by the fans (just over 3k for their match against Catalans). And why is such a massively indebted club allowed in SL under this absurd IMG system? As I say, SL is a disaster waiting to happen.


The whole of rugby, both codes is in doggy doo. Premier league is everything, including my Grandkids despite best efforts of my sons. Pro team sport is struggling and the TV funded bubble is bursting.

IMG is a waste of money. I could have suggested most of their ideas and said none of them would improve RFL just half a dozen SL Clubs, the bottoms six.

Even sugar daddies can't really be trusted. Beaumont, for example, took his bat and ball home at Leigh when they didn't get promoted which would have ended in disaster if he hadn't returned.

Sheffield have just filed their 2023 accounts. They lost nearly £300k last year and are now insolvent to the tune of £210k, being in the main propped up by the directors (of which Mark moaning Aston is one). All foundations of sand - what a mess.






AM I RIGHT? I'M NOT WRONG!
