Fair enough.
Probably means that from 2017 top 12 will get 1.8 mil and bottom 12 will get about 900k.......so with 2015/16 on the old money, the Broncos can expect to lose 700k+ a year for 2 years in SKY funding before clawing back 300k of it.

The above is based on relegation this year. If you believe we'll stay up, then use your own calculator

Glad you've taken the trouble to work out the numbers, I'm afraid that I couldn't be bothered. A part-time team would obviously have lower running costs than the current squad, but I don't really see the point of the Broncos playing at that level unless somebody has as much faith as DH had 5 or 6 years ago in sustaining a SL side.. Unlikely.

Avoidance of relegation also unlikely unless the Bulls and A.N.Other go t*ts up this year.

Broncos need a competitive squad to be successful in attracting more fans. So the question might be one of how much would cost in the future to have a such a squad. If changes are made to salary cap or the mooted "marquee" player arrangements then it is possible that the increased TV income would be consumed by increased costs.

I love all this "The clubs were only given 24hrs to decide", err, in a negotiation you can take as long as you like, the clubs could have refused and don't be letting the Lenghans of this world tell you they couldn't.

And before anyone attempts to lecture me, I haven't always worked on the Tube, before that I was a "Negotiator" in an Estate Agents and before that I ran my own small business, if someone puts a time limit on anything, you call their bluff, it's virtually standard practice!
