Any club is doing an amazing job to make a profit in this climate, any club who breaks even has made an achievement in this climate, a small loss could be manageable, big losses are a concern.
Yet the trend would be worrying, a previously profitable club now making a loss would surley worry any potential backer.
As I said there is a massive difference between a £400,000 loss and a £1.8m loss therefore we must be doing well...
With the news today that the RFL are not concerned about Rovers position and the majority of Rovers fans aren't it leads to the question as to why so many Hull fans are concerned for us.
And the fact we have a very succesful multi millionaire on board.

The two clubs' trajectories have been so different, that they are keen to make the most of bad news, from CP... even when it isn't news or even indisputably bad.
I've seen 'news' of our financial situation described as a 'bombshell', when all the important facts have been in the public domain for months. It has been represented as problems 'coming home to roost', as if the spending has been unneccessarily profligate and without reward. And that is some of their good posters. With some of the stuff I've seen, you have to wonder whether the poster is unbalanced by desperate hope, being deliberately obtuse or is just a bit stupid.
We just have to remember that if you are told a hundred times you have a problem, it does not mean you have a hundred problems. Nobody should stick their head in the sand - there are challenges ahead, but they are not insurmountable and the backing from the board means that they are not so pressing as to threaten the immediate future of the club. It has taken a minor miracle to turn a moribund NL club into a very competitive SL outfit, so if anybody can take it the last half-yard, I believe the current board will do it. If they can't, it probably wasn't possible, but at least we'll have had some fun along the way.
Had enough of this now - is it too soon to start a 'team for Salford' thread?

Luckily for you with that bury the head in the sand mentality Hudgell is concerned enough to want to stem the flow of cash out of the club.

Not really a potential backer with the right business sense (rather then a fan which would let his heart rule his head) would realise that the club has the ability to make profits and as it made a loss he could get it a little cheaper then if it was making a steady profit.
This is Poorhouse Lane. And this is Neil, the rovers supporter who leads an exciting double life. For when Neil sponsors RLFANS an amazing transformation occurs. Neil is Cabbageman. Ever alert for the call no injury too small! //www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cabbage%20Man

No.No.No.No.No.
What on Earth are you doing, coming round here posting this, this, sense?
Last Thursday, after listening to some informed and esteemed posters from the fishy side of town I posted this;
Quote:We're finished. End of. Kapputski. Done. All over. Into the abyss. Finito. Not no more, never again.
Leigh are getting our place, Gateshead back into the Championship and it's off to NL2 for us Rovers where Bramley will muller us.
Has anyone got Phil Hasty's phone number?
A week later and we still appear to exist as a business and as a club, I thought I'd only have the memories by now.
I'm completely confused, the fish face people appear to have been, well, wrong.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
