Thats the stupidity of this grading system. IMG want 12 grade A teams in S/L .They are in dreamland Its not fit for any purpose but talking points. It should always be what happens on the field that counts not how many burgers you sell at a match to enhance the match experience

So what future IMG proposals will generate profits? I can think of only one obvious one and thats an increase in gate receipts but for a company who wanted to scrap Magic weekend and 60000 plus fans that doesnt make sense nor does the fact that Sky will televise every S/L game which undoubtably will have an effect on the number of fans attending matches. Whats your ideas?

It's not up to me to come up with ideas. If their proposals do not yield profits presumably IMG lose out.

Thats my point.Nothing IMG have come up with would yield profits for them thats why my opinion is they wont work for nothing for 12 years so have to be charging the RFL for their work. We will know anyway next year when the RFL accounts are available

Okay, life is short and it is slightly disorientating for me taking on the role of optimist in a conversation… so, briefly:
They’ve only just started. Nobody is more scarred than me by #-year RL-related plans… but in this case I think it is appropriate. It might not work because things often don’t and RL has issues sticking with stuff. But if it isn’t working, why would the RFL then start paying? If this is it and IMG are now just going to sit back and wait for the money to start rolling in for the next 11 years, then I accept they’re in for a disappointment. My assumption is that this is just a first step.

appreciate your opinion but lets just agree to disagree on this

Please carry on trying to explain life under IMG to him. Whilst he’s trashing them and the RFL, his eyes are no longer on FC and our A rating, you’d have thought he’d be happy with that.
