We have it. Huddersfield, Wigan, Hull etc don't but I was thinking it was about owning your ground but it looks like it's just you have prime use, so Cas and Fev would have it too.

If you look at the RFU rules on primacy of tenure, it doesn't even go so far as saying that you have to own or have primary use, just that you would likely be able to switch a match date/time (eg for TV) with reasonable notice. I think the clause ended up being removed from the RFU criteria as it was found to be less than legal

Of course there are doubts, the prospective owner couldn't trust a word the two failures squatting at the top say

The Carter-Wells interview on Sky Sports seemed to say the MC has 1" more week" at the helm...

Also mentioned "plenty of announcements over the next 2 weeks".

We live in hope.

He probably considers his job done and now is the time to move on. The announcement are probably more to do with players being released or leaving.
He does like a TV appearance which he will probably regret most of all when he leaves.

Carter has said all along he was leaving at the end of the season, even before Ellis starting talking to the club. If as he claims they have 18/19 signed up for next year then i’d guess these are the announcements coming.

Who’s signed these 19 players?
Who’s scouted and recruited them?
Who’s evaluated their performances and adjudged them to be the quality & style required?

Most of all, how do they know the Coach for next year wants these players?

It gives me a cold shiver down my spine to think that Mick Carter is the one to do the signing and that Applegarth is the Coach who’s going to coach them in the Championship.

Exactly this. Do the same thing which just got us relegated and hope for a different result - insanity
