Indeed, Fev only received 50K less prize money than Leigh, but they are going part time.......ambition eh ?
As I suspect you know, it's nothing to do with ambition and more to do with financial realism. Our ill-advised dalliance with Nahaboo left us in a fairly precarious position in money terms and it would have been reckless to have attempted to go full time. That's why Leigh now have Greg Worthington
Most Fev fans are overall relieved though that we are getting back to basics in terms of how the club is being run. Overstretching financially can be disastrous and indeed it's less than 18 months since Leigh's most recent financial crisis, which was by no means thier first in recent years, so I'm not sure being smug about "ambition" is a sensible approach in modern rugby league.
