what outcome? They havent committed themselves to anything. All they have done is change the rules to give them another option.
I doubt they will, i think it is clear the SL chairmen changed these rules not because of Crusaders, but because there are a few others who are worried they too could be affected.

Thats better

fine, you stick to your rules, even when impracticable and counter-productive, it makes no difference to me

does the NRL come under the ARL or does it have a seperate governing body?

as iv'e said before,SLE should have its own governing body and it should be based in london because its a european league.the rfl should be left to oversee the rest of the sport.

it is governed by the NRL of which the ARL is a part

it does, some functions are taken on by SL and some by the RFL, But what benefit would we get from making this split larger?

is the ARL govened by the NRL?
one of the probable benefits to SLE being based in london and being self govening is this,it cannot be seen as a northern sport anymore,which appears to be the holy grail that everyone is craving.

no

so move the RFL to London, you havent yet given one benefit of further splitting the SL from the rest of the game.

move SLE to london is what i said.
iv'e just told you a probable benefit

no, you've told me a benefit of moving some offices to London,

Not why it is better to split SL and the RFL and only move SL, nor why we need to split SL and the RFL

or Wakefield.

Oh wait, the reports state that the SL meeting which voted to remove the administration/ insolvency = not allowed to apply for licence rule happened last month, ie around the time of HMRC seeking a winding up order against the Wildcats, not the Crusaders case ...

no,i told you a probable benefit to SLE, of moving SLE to london.

the rest of the game needs a govening body to set rules that they can all adhere to,unhindered by the constantly changing organisation known as SLE thats were the rfl would come in.

lets hope no wakey fans come on here moaning about wrexham then.

Around the time

and just before

maybe they new about CC and decided to feather the bed so to speak.

Of course i don't believe that but its possible.

We reserve the right to moan about anything

its a fast growing club mate

God you come up with some classics. There is absolutely no way they would have voted to remove that clause for the sake of Wakey, and if they did why would Sir Rodney Walker bother paying the tax bill we would have just gone down the Crusaders route.

because without it, the club have been wound up.

And let me clarify: I pointed out the timing, but yes it's quite likely that the rule change was linked to the Wakey issue, which as I understand it, was about unanticipated tax bills resulting from previous image rights payments - something which could well affect other clubs (and is more likely to explain clubs voting, than "the tea leaves say Crusaders may apply for administration in the future, we'd best change the rules).

by the by, this is not an original thought, the very same point was made some pages back by someone else, without attracting that response - perhaps because some people hadn't yet worked themselves into a lather over tjeir own imagined conspracies

)

Doubt everything, even this

Hmm. So the RFL had absolutely no idea that Crusaders were in any sort of financial trouble until last week when they went into administration? It is inconceivable that they haven't known about Crusaders difficulties for some considerable time.

Especially since W Crusaders Ltd were set up whilst the club were denying the fact that they were going into admin.

It cannot?

It makes little difference where the RFL or SLE is based; people who see the sport as "northern" (which is almost everybody) won't even notice that HQ has moved south.

what do you mean?.

you might be right you might be wrong but if we dont try we'll never know will we?
i just have a problem with a league that wants to be seen as cosmopolitan and to lose its image as a northern sport being based in leeds when all the other sports of any importance are based in london.

I doubt that

Steve Ferres RFL employee as been at the crusaders for the last six months trying to sort it out.

I wonder if he remembers this comment he made back in 2006 when he was at Wakey
"=#FF0000Wakefield chief executive Steve Ferres told the Yorkshire Post: "I hope the RFL will be strong as Wigan seem to be testing the ethics of the game"

Lets see if he says the same about the crusaders.
