Quote ="Starbug"Maybe now or the near future , but 4/5 years ago , there was still hope that the london club could actually make a viable SL club , they get Championship levels of support , but would they still get that level of support in the Championships ?
Explain that one ?'"
First off, possibly not but I think they'd have enough to survive at a better profit/loss ratio than they are now, if we take the Crusaders example, despite being a losing team they get great crowds for a C1 club. In Londons case I think they'd enter the Championship in a much stronger position and as a perfect breeding ground for London youngsters, even if they then were to be cherry picked by SL clubs. The fundamental problem would come when financially all the best talent in the area is being cherry picked by union clubs but is that not already happening? who knows.
Secondly I meant with the finance they have in place, were it to be a P/R season, I don't for one minute think the results thus far this year would have been stood for and they'd have strengthed in the back room and playing staff by round 10. Powell, as much as I like the guy isn't up to it and he's made huge mistakes in his conditioning of the players, similar to that of Lowes' a couple of years back. With P/R I think a new coach would be in now with a couple more players
