I could be wrong but I believe Ken Davy has set up some sort of funding mechanism for Huddersfield once he's popped his clogs.
And Hull FC have a 25 year lease. Also, the Hull City owners are only in it for profit. They bought the club on the cheap, have spent nothing on players, and will use the PL income (some 60million guaranteed) to pay off the debts they inherited. When they get relegated they'll use the parachute payments as their profits. Job done. Hull FC are secure at the KC.
What I think will happen, in two or three years after everyone's sick and tired of the new format the RFL are forcing through, is that the big clubs - Wigan, Sts, Warrington, Leeds, Hull, Huddersfield - will force through changes to re-assert the autonomous set up of SLE. Like it was from foundation until the early 2000's. They''ll take Catalans and Toulouse with them, Salford if Koukash is still around, and one other.
That'll give them 10 strong clubs. Dumping 4 others means 4.8million in central funding is made available, which they'll split between them - half a million each. Play each other home and away, with maybe 2 additional games and Magic Weekend.
It will be a much stronger league, with playing and financial resources being focussed on a proper elite competition. And that's what paying speccies want these days, as every other sport seems to have recognised except RL. Elite competition, not inter-village. Two French teams will have the knock-on effect of improving the French team, aiding internationals in the process.
The rest of the game will bitch and moan about it but, really, what can they do? The RFL will be left in charge of the Championship, internationals and community game.
I hope that's what happens, anyway.
