Credit to Captain ITK - he's been consistently on the money with this deal, unlike some unnamed chancers on here.

He has the qualifications to back it up.

Does this mean an end to the "look at me, I've got CSEs!!!" posts?

See you all in five years time when we've got the Patel Out! bedsheets ready.

Could you put that in layman's terms for us thickos please?

obviously great news to see the back of Lai, and by all accounts Patel will look to build incrementally rather than throw money at it. Sounds like moving back the Peace approach which i am all for. It will mean finding some good people to do the Ashworth type roles.

Struggling to find any clear view of their wealth, I have seen $400mill which isnt much is the grand scheme of things, others saying 2billion worth of assets under management which again if its not liquid doesn't really mean much. anyone got a clearer view of this?

I am hoping we can now loosen the wage ceiling as i am not sure 10k per week is going to keep the likes of Mowatt and Cipre, or attract the quality we need to get out the Championship

Onwards and upwards..

now lets back this up with a win against the saints tonight !!

What I would say about their wealth is they don’t strike me as being likely to be piling best part of 100m into something (when you factor in they are clearing the debt) if that represents a large fraction of what it is. Which suggests to me it’s at least 1bn but probably more

perhaps its a good thing that it isnt visible. smart, wealthy people often try to hide it

Our wage ceiling is limited by financial fair play regulation. We have to trim our expenditure in the summer or find commercial revenues to expand our income. The former is more likely. I think while an American investment substantially increases our ability to grow revenues, specifically in sponsorship eg the ground, we are going to have to trim the jebrall wage bill to comply with FFPR.

As it happened yet I’m fed up of waiting.

A couple of good posts there Wimbourne. Entirely agree that the Peace approach is more likly and sensible and well-invested all round spend.
Keep posting mate.
