I perosnally dont agree at all about his comments about Elland Road being a better Magic venue than Newcastle.
But back on topic...he is right that without money any ideas from IMG wont go anywhere.
Seriously what have IMG brought to the table that has or looks to enhance the game.
You could have a fans panel who in my opinion would create more meaningful ideas than IMG.
The first IMG invoice for £500,000 hasnt gone down well and i can see why.
The game needs marketing and IMG have done nothing in that respect.
Do they seriously think Fantasy Rugby league is the way to attract young fans or market the game?
Once again the RFL are being taken for a ride which is easy to see when you look at the calibre and quality of staff they employ.
The shake up should be here.Believing a big name on your books like IMG whos claim to fame currently is wanting to scrap magic weekend and pointing out that several clubs grounds are not up to scatch is the answer to developing Rugby league in this country is deluded.
