Not sure where to begin with this but the brief Nahaboo era - which ended over 6 years ago - was the least convincing at Fev in the last 10 years and the club is in a much better place now.
The idea of Fev "suddenly becoming a real contender" is ridiculous when along with Leigh they have been clearly the standout team in the Championship over the last ten years.
On the field, Fev probably have the strongest case amongst the six teams, having beaten Leigh, York and Toulouse to reach the playoff Grand Final against Toronto last year. They've beaten Leigh four of the last five times they've played them, and hammered York three of the four times they played them last year.
Off the field Fev are now run on similar lines to a SL club, with a Chairman, CEO, Football Manager and Finance Manager. Sponsorship is thriving, as are sales from the new Super Store, and the club was able to report an operational surplus of over £40,000 for the year ending December 2019. For as long as Mark Campbell has been in charge his whole purpose has been to get Fev into SL so talking of Fev's ambitions in that regard having "collapsed" is baffling.

I think Fevs ambitions ceased at the Halliwell Jones that was outside not inside
