Sureley if we join SL then our income will increase, if we set our wages within that the we may not be challenging for the top positions but should be a well balanced club who are not on the verge of going bust.
Our BOD have managed on the current income, and many thanks to them,so if in SL they should work to this plan and not bother with the over the hill Aussies. If we are seen to be supporting young British players then maybe the players will see this and think we are the club to join.
Who knows, it might just work.
I have heard similar arguments from the Leigh BOD , that the LSV ' Works ' better in SL , well not if there are only 3/4,000 in it it doesn't
It tells you they are not willing to do the hard miles , the hard ' roll up your sleeves and get stuck in ' work that needs to be done to generate ' real ' income , not hand outs from SKY
SL doesn't work unless you can hit 10,000 every week , and that would still need a very strong willed BOD to only spend 90 % of what they ' earn '
The normal reaction is to spend 110%-120% of what you earned the previous year , and gamble what should be your future marketing budget on a player
