Quick Question....because I'm crap at maths.
If EVERY SL club were on say, £1,800,000 of funding, then that means SL have £21.6 million a year to dish out. (this £1.8 may be wrong, but the premise is right)
If Leigh get a smaller chunk (£1,000,000) and Catalans get nowt, then the other 10 clubs get an extra £260k each. 7%?????
If in 2022 they promote 2 Teams and give everyone a share, they all get £1,540,000 each 8.5% less????.....if they deny catalans and toulouse the the remaining 12 get £1.8 million, the same whilst the French get nowt.
If the plan is to then relegate 4 sides to SL 2, then the current vote is for the likes of Wakefield, Huddersfield, Salford and the other average SL sides to vote for a £300,000 reduction in funding for 2022 to deliver pretty assured relegation ot at best a relegation scare!
So the question is.
Who has any faith in what the remaining 10 clubs will do in 10 years time........? Ergo, the Turkeys ( middle tier clubs) won't vote for Christmas so the Butcher (SKY TV) will butcher the lot and move into cattle farming instead.
Sorry....not such a quick question, but one I think needs examining.
