For all his very many and oft discussed faults, Hughes has not been beating away co-investors with a stick.
Sports team ownership is an expensive hobby and before IMG get to suggest any changes or insist on a different ownership, I'd say laying out their plans and the rewards on offer would be key to anyone new investing in European Superleague.
Whilst not perfect, if you compare the fortunes of Northern Hemisphere Union with those of League over the years 1996-2022, I'd say one has embraced professionalism in an often clumsy but profitable manner whilst the other has regressed to almost amateur-like decision making.....I cite the Stobart sponsorship deal as a prime example.....it's no wonder SKY TV pay what they want and not what it's worth when the management make such awful decisions.
IMG need to lay out exactly what rewards will be in place before any of the current UK owners/chairmen throw one of their own under a bus to have a team in the capital.
