Rumour I heard yesterday, cut a long story short is that myler and his in-law got Pearson to spend money he hasn’t got for next season on the promise money / takeover will happen but have now backtracked on that , in the hope they’ll get the club cheap / free . How true I don’t know , but surely Pearson wouldn’t go along with that without nothing in writing . If true maybe why we are offering 3 year passes as he needs money asap . Does seem strange why nothing has happened so far .
Everyone is essentially spending money they don’t have because as far as I’m aware every super league club is spending more then what’s coming in, seem to remember that from the 22/23 figures anyways.
We obviously paid off Smith/Gene/Hoy for this year but we’d have still had to pay them anyway had we kept them, apart from a few loan signings and Cartwright Jrn we didn’t exactly spend any extra this season, it’s fair to say we put the cue on the rack and Derek Beaumont will happily testify to that.
For next seasons outgoings fair enough we’ve added a couple of back room staff and a physio but again hardly been splashing the cash. Player for player is still think we’ll be spending less or at best similar to previous seasons. Had the supposed ‘huge’ Lam and Whitehead deals came off then maybe a scenario like that would be believable, I don’t buy it though.
