Well, given that my post was about the folly of paying for marquee signings in the hope that they bring success and an increase in revenue, yours is quite a change of subject.
Are you now blaming the running costs of your iconic stadium for your woes?
You can analyse the accounts all you like, but when you have two sets, one for the RFL and one that is real (that will be the set where departments of the club were given unrealistic and unsustainable budgets).
The answer to the problem is exactly as your new BOD seem to be suggesting - costs must be cut, including playing and backroom staff. Expect some big earners to leave soon.
It's what Wakefield are currently doing.
The complicating factor may be that there will be few clubs with either the money or the cap space to take players of your hands.
