[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 963819, member: 58362"] [USER=74190]@Rinkadink[/USER] I just took a look over a thread on another forum about Leeds, but am not much the wiser. What I can surmise: - Nobody knows where the money is coming from for the new signings. - Lots of people who know more about The Championship than me don't rate the quality of the new signings at all. - Most expect the current squad to be heavily augmented by by loan / DR signings in order to try and pick up enough points for survival. (known as "doing a Hartpury"). - The players are yet to see anything out of the CVA. - The club has received no sanction from the RFU for their mismanagement. It appears that there is no incentive to live within your means and run as a viable club in The Championship, or indeed to run your club honorably. I hope we won't see another club like Richmond, who cut their cloth according to their budget and ran as a proper rugby club pushed aside in favour of another glorified Premiership A-League team with few of the qualities celebrated about rugby clubs.
