It does,nt matter how much money you plough into a RL Club if you don't run it as a business with people who know how to run a successful club then it's gonna be money down the drain...
Look at all the hard earned dosh Arthur Thomas put into Leigh and what happened when he had to pull out Neetmare..........
Got to admit the current board and back room staff and Lisa / Lottery ect are a credit to the Club and Sport in general for what they have done over the last 12 months

Probiz seem to get everywhere - arent they at West Brom as well - but are they actually investing owt? No disrespect to Fev but why is such an "illustrious" businessman making their SL bid his primary goal - what happened to his dream with Cas a few miles away?

There is a difference, he has just been a sponser at other clubs but after this investment he will be a major shareholder at Fev. His role at Fev will be huge if the 7 figure sum is true. I'm sure as a businessmen there will be something in it for him, but if Fev and Feisal both benefit in the long run then i can't say this is a bad thing. The work on and off the field at Fev over the last few years has been remarkable, while certain other clubs near by have stagnated Fev have progressed without the millions from Sky. The new stand project was a great idea and will improve the stadium massively upon completion. Just hope promotion and relegation comes back now.

Sceptic in me - Cas had land and wanted new stadium, Fev have land - coincidental?? Time will tell.

I've heard a lot about this bloke and his company (by people who know him and have done business with him) and I've honestly never heard a good word said about him. I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.

Seems to me beggars can't be choosers' if it doesn't work out that's no Salford this season and then it's up to their fans.

I think this deal will go through. I have never met the guy and until I do I will reserve judgement just as I will about that Probiz guy involved with Featherstone.

Oops apologies Mish just been talking to a mate about Salford.



My point is still the same though.

But what have Fev got to lose by letting him chuck some cash at them for a while ? , nothing

If I was Fev, I'd sleep a bit better at night once the cash was actually in the pocket. I believe I've heard the term 'all smoke and mirrors' used more than once when talking about this man. (I've heard much worse claims too but I don't think I should post them on here).

Here's your answer:



[size=150How many shirts did he take on his Dubai holday?[/size

well YOU dont have to mate...no worries!!!!

Mish, the 2012 sponsorship and 2013 sponsorship is already in the bank
In addition a huge huge wad covering the signing of Ellis James and Bryant has already been banked! E.G. The bloke has already divvied up true to his word.
Now I'd say that is good enough for me to have confidence in him.
The deal signed on Monday evening has sod all to do with the land Fev own to dispell further suposition.

Great deal for Fev with the amounts unheard of at this level.

Robin - you're all over the forums putting out a fire.



What he's come out with (nahboob) is nothing different to what he said at Fax. You're in for a massive disappointment.

Rich. How do you apportion the huge wads already banked?

They could be from what Cas are trying to get back.

Seriously hope it works out for you, but you must understand the sceptics point of view from Fax n Cas, and others.

Think that may be Qatar. Nice shot of the building they call the c*nd*m in the background

Well, whatever. If you say so. Come back in twelve months when you're wearing furs.

Rich. I understand why you are cautious. Where ever you can on the fora, you are insinuating fev will get nowt whilst at the same time failing to explain the 3 big wads already received and banked.
Then, when pressed its the "whatever, it will end in tears" reposte, again without any acknowledgement of monies and committment already received?

I guess it's daft pressing this with you, given your willingness to ignore the evidence presented.
So I'll leave you to nip over to morrison's for afe a kilo of wings of bat and two dozen eyes of newt!
Get thi cauldron fired up owd lad.

Don't get me wrong - he will have stumped up cash - just like he did at Fax. But, his spouting of long term commitments is just that: spouting. Russell Brand is better at long term relationships than Feisel. Anyhoo, whatever the sums and intentions,it's still great that Championship clubs seem to be in better stewardship than some SL clubs.

We were discussing the merits of some of the contributions to this topic on facebook earlier.
On littlerich my comments was "I actually don't mind littlerich. An abraisive bolshy little b'stard, but his posts amuse me!!!!

I agree entirely with your comments on the championship

Bolshy? Me?

Wouldn't it be great if this (and others) came off at the expense of SL! Nigel working his fat arris off for Salford - seems that they get all the help that they certainly don't deserve. They haven't sold one season ticket yet they still hold a licence!

What does me is that sl clubs, wakey, bradford, salford, london have gone ar se upperds and damn near gone out of business, yet the rfl bend over backwards time n again to ensure their continuity in the league.
Crusaders indeed went down the garry glitter yet sl most certainly would have renewed their licence.
Yet, faxs' financial plan had flaws ffs!!!!
Cc clubs have to jump thru flamin hoops to justify an application whereas established licencees can pi ss up a rope and still another licence.
Utter sheeeeiite!

Which is why, despite my outward bittermess (jealousy?) to the potential Fev windfall, i would still smile warmly if it did come off - and to see the reaction of SL fans. We (Fev, Leigh and Fax) are never going to be as big as the Wig4ns and Saints of this world but we shouldn't feel inferior to clubs like Wakefield, Cas, London and the other non-super clubs in Super league. They are there by virtue of lucky timing in most cases. Not even sure i'd want to go back in to be honest. Would be great to play top clubs but not sure i could stomach the constant wooden spoons that Widnes will be picking up over the next few years.

Never mind that with respect Robin.

Will you have a 110 yard by 75 yard playing area and a level pitch ?

Oh and underground heating ?

No. Because 75yd would exceed the maximum permitted by the rfl francis!!!!
