I do not appreciate being accused of having multiple accounts.

| Quote ="The Silent H"Perez's record is pretty good. Built one club from scratch and another next year in foreign lands all in 5 years.'"
Agreed: It was never going to be perfect. Our game has never been perfect. Anyone who builds a club from scratch and gets quick success is always going hit some obstacle that then have to be broken down, steadily. Planning are flexibility is key. The energy, money and time required is difficult to sustain as you cannot keep all of the people, happy all of the time. Too many sidelines screamers. You heard them, you've tried to ignore, them, you know who they are. They are the ones that never made a tackle,started or ran a club, or took the whistle to ensure players can 'play our wonderful game, but alway they know the rules better than the ref.
Sometimes quick success is a chain around one's neck as fickle people want it to continue EVERY year, thereafter. It cannot be done smoothly. There must always be a ten year plan, that is updated each year, (so ALWAYS a next ten year plan), because you will hit peaks and troughs.
TWP may or may not succeed in SL with the COVID chaos that is affecting every single company on the globe, but wow what a great job they have done thus far.

Given the Covid wasn't the reason at all for TWP's collapse, it was Argylle pulling out, I think we should wait until Ottawa declare a real owner who has real money to burn, and wait until we see if the 2022 SKY deal suddenly changes from what SL bosses said it will be which wasn't NA expansion before, NOT writing them off as a possible future professional SL club

| Genuine question for fans of Leigh and current championship clubs.
Genuine consensus on these threads is that Toronto should be dropped a division or two. If this were to occur, they would probably favorites for promotion at next years end. This would create a problem for ambitious champ clubs who would have their promotion chances greatly reduced.
What would you prefer? Toronto to stay in super league or drop to championship but therefore reducing your clubs chances of success?

What squad of players will Toronto have next season, will they be in a position to max the cap and who would sign for them - difficult to see what there set up will be for next season irrespective of which league the will be in

He gave you two false choices on purpose.
As it stands the sole owner of the club has walked and all the players are up for sale.
There is no Toronto Wolfpack apart from the remnants being wound up.
Try this, If YOU could choose who would you put in Superleague in their place??
Same genuine question for anyone else?

This sounds like a sensible plan.
However, with players and staff furloughed and no plans to begin training, how would you start up any play off competition ?
Unless a format could be agreed amongst the Championship clubs, with agreement from SL that the winner had the right to be promoted, it's a non runner.
Even if the top 4/6 clubs were heavily in favour, what about the rest and it's worth noting that every game would add to the losses of the clubs involved.
The cost of players, staff, medics and rental of "covid safe" stadia etc, makes it all the more difficult to get going.
Having said that, some sort of mini league, with the winners gaining promotion, has to be better than some kind of arbitrary vote or cherry picking a club of SL's choice -this would be massively unpopular accross the sport.
Perhaps it's up to the Championship clubs to come up with a plan and force the issue ?

Be serious for once.
What would you choose?
You champion English champ clubs and have said recently that Toronto should be in championship. If that is where they are to restart, then it makes life a lot harder for Widnes, Bradford, Leigh, London etc.

| Just read about Ricky Leutele - hasn’t been paid for 2 months, the house the club were renting for him (Part of his contract) he’s being evicted from due to unpaid rent, the car they leased for him has been taken back as not paid for, his visa has expired and he’s having to pay for own flights home (again which club had agreed to pay for).... There’s lots of talk around the game of them not paying their bills - doesn’t sound good - I know there’s an argument they’ve had their hands tied behind their back with no central funding or support, but that is what they signed up to.... there must be serious concerns for their future existence.

What did you ask him/her back for!!
We know what happened!! Argyle dumped £18,000,000 into his fantasy.
He then decided to dump the fantasy itself and is currently on Toronto Market selling the teams kit, and the balls, which is just about all that's left of it.
Apart from the debts

It's not an argument when you have a £Billionaire owner is it??.
He's just stopped bothering with the club.
He's rich enough to pay his debts up this afternoon.
Small change to him but very important to the families of the players not being paid when he can pay them.
Disgrace.

So was licensing but they did it and the clubs had to lump it.
I'm with you however, Let Leigh and London who lost Superleague places unfairly - Leigh from 11th. and London to a phoney don't pay your bills club play off for the last spot in Superleague 2021.
Absolutely sorted

I don't think he answered any questions snowie, he just asked 3 questions instead, but he's right though when he says it's difficult to see what their set up will be irrespective of which league they'll be in.
The thing is nobody has a clue one way or the other whether they will be back next season, only maybe donny who only deals in facts, the rest of us will have to rely on our opinions.

| I don't know why people keep quoting that Argyle has spent £18M ? He might well have, however he is also very untrustworthy & appears unable to lie straight in bed !
If it is true that he hasn't paid players, suppliers & rents etc *I have no reason to believe otherwise* then he surely hasn't been spending what he claims. The reported $10M contract of SBW hasn't cost the famously Racist David Argyle $10M [iyet[/i as he is now a Roosters player. The houses, cars & other perks may also be in arrears [iif as suggested on here is true[/i !
Take £18M as a percentage of a minimum of $1 Billion & it is relatively little, [iI can't be bothered doing the math[/i.
I wonder, if these are the things that appear to be hot topics of discussion in the fan world, is it reasonable to expect that the RFL & SL know or are looking into such stories ? Or do they just take the word of an apparently untrustworthy billionaire who has left the game a laughing stock ?

| Donnyman smokesout David Icke again. The French players aren't good enough en masse(see what I did there?) The imports are there for the beach front apartments and inflated salary. The coach is a genius for still being paid and paid very well.They offer as much as Toronto which is the square root of Sweet Fanny Adam's.

Hull Kr aren’t good enough either? Shall we kick them out too? At least Catalans come from a decent area instead of an area that looks like it was used for filming Shameless Stop being xenophobic you moron. Catalans are a big club, Hull Kr aren’t
