Speaks volumes IMO he has gone in, figured out what's going on behind the scenes and thought stuff this.

Cas fans are convinced Fulton Jr wants no part of running the club and wants his Daddys money back.

Can see a lot of clubs throwing the toys out of the pram when the scores are given out.

I am sure we will, also the longer things go on I am also sure clubs will start to seriously question the whole IMG concept. If it doesn't quickly show significant benefits, I can see it having a short life span.

We and others might not like the scores we receive to start.
However if we get our act together then we’re in a position to improve our score. Others not so…

The top clubs won’t question the concept because they will have or be very close to an A grade.
You’re right though the squabbling will start when clubs (could include us) don’t get the score they want come the 2025 season.

Also there are clubs IMOP have been very creative already where crowd figures are concerned! This is one area that we definitely need to get our act together for next season..
And in the championship we will need to have a winning team that will go along way to help us achieve that goal.

His wife doesn't want to uproot from London as the kids are settled and happy at school there. Its DOR Danny Wilson that does recruiting.

Danny McGuire being mentioned, don't know what to think about that. I know it didn't work out with Mash but I think I'd give Lingard a shot.

The fuss will only arise when a Cat B team wins the championship but is prevented from coming up because a Cat A club finishes bottom (I think that's how it works). So, to get promotion, you have to win, but also get lucky with timing.

In the top flight, probably only really Cas who will be Cat B, and whoever goes up this year.

I think it will be a very long time before there are 12 cat A clubs. Fev certainly aren't. Not sure about Huddersfield or Salford either.

And winning championship literally gets you 0.1 less points than the bottom team in SL. If you win GF you get an extra 0.25 so not a winning score considering your engagement score will be lower.
