They can only spend what they are allowed, which is apparently the amount they are currently spending.

They may be speculating to give them the best chance to get into the top ten because they realise anything else would be a disaster financially. They have also had longer to plan for next season, not a situation available to us.
I look forward to the quality of our signings for next season because it would appear we will be clearing plenty from our cap.

As they don't know the criteria and that criteria very unlikely to only be league position, they would be foolish to do that.
Financially sound, new stadium, big city potential and a great academy are far more likely to swing it.

Keep believing PT if it helps but the history suggests final league position.

What history? The guys doing this have never done it before.
There is no 'believing' in this situation. Its new ground.
But if you put all your money into a league position, then personally I think its short sighted.
If we went to 10 teams, Wakefield is just as unlikely. But the infrastructure we are putting in place gives us a better chance.

Don't forget PT, that not only are MC and JM writing to him personally, but he has a hot-line to IMG

We will have a new stand and pitch but what about the eyesore that is the west stand I have not seen anything regarding this area but I may be wrong, coupled with our recent form over the last three seasons might not help. I hope you are correct because I have little faith that our current incumbents will help improve the squad and we need to revert back to the ground to save us.
If we survive we have another life given to us, I hope they take it to give us the best chance to be in the top 10 and virtually guarantee our place.

I don’t mind replying to PT but you just piggyback other members posts so just read the answer I give because it would be the same to you.

Re: Jacob Miller critics : Mon Aug 15, 2022 4:27 pm  

I dont think the 2x10 is a given. That was the plan most liked by the top few clubs so they could get even more money. Now we have IMG running the show i suspect all options will be back. However it wouldnt suprise me if they come up with something totally fifferent that we have never seen before.

Anyone who follows cricket will know about the 100 . Many traditionalists hate it as its so far removed from the original game and all the teams are contrived and they go over the top with match day raz mataz. My money is on something simillar comming from IMG.

I wasn't talking to you anyway, so why would I require a reply from you?

Re: Jacob Miller critics : Mon Aug 15, 2022 5:48 pm  

I also remember that the last league re-organisation was said to be the last one.
