Good luck to the fella, he has my backing. Can't help thinking this ship has sailed and he'd have more success standing on a cliff pi$$ing into a force ten gale.
Many previous threads have covered this but like the previous posts its hard to see things ever changing for the greater good.
On the exact same page of the league paper on Monday where this article was, was a story about the wigan boss pushing for toulose to get the next franchise as this is what the big four clubs want.
Call me paranoid but little things like this plus throw away comments by the likes of hetherington a few weeks ago regarding his desire to play a union club as a trial match using a hybrid set of rules certainly alarm me more than a decade ago when wigan did something similar.
Get ready for super league 2 where the bottom of super league are packed in with us and the less fortunate championship one clubs are left scrapping for no hope of promotion from a soon to be barely semi pro league.
If the smaller clubs get a chance to gain promotion into any future new fob off league then bring it on. Let the lesser super league teams join us, have an even better league than we currently have, which is already a great and close contest, and leave the so called big boys to it. Let's face it, franchising was supposed to balance out all the teams yet its still the same teams winning the thing and more than before are going belly up.
Good luck Mr. Burnham, you clearly see what's right, shame you're not in the red hall ivory tower!
