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.

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!

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. |

In that case I'm really pleased for you and your club and I hope that this time he's true to his word.  |

Good luck to Fev, anyone with aspirations of SL need a sugar daddy to get in and win anything! Bad stories about a businessman usually mean he's good at it!!!

Featherstone has a population of 14,175. Where do they expect to get the fans from to support a top 6 SL team?
I hope Fev are acting sensibly. They should spend any extra money on projects that are going to be around and benefiting them long after the money has gone. If they waste it on players, it may be difficult to adjust the playing budget when the money dries up.

Grief - the old Fev only has a 14k population reposte!! Most fans appear to have moved on from this one, but anyhoo.... here goes - again...
Fev pull in from other areas as my username might just indicate Michael.
Fev have never just pulled from their immediate locality - just the same as Leigh.
Fev has always historically been the club of Pontefract as anyone with just a smidge of local knowledge realises - just check out the population of ponty!
In the pre SL days - without a backer to finance players for an assault at silverware - we did ok from the surrounding locality.

The point is about whether having top 6 SL ambitions for a club like Featherstone is realistic or sensible.
The combined population of Featherstone + Pontefract is slightly less than that of Leigh, without including any of the other traditional Leigh strongholds.
Looking at both clubs, we're in very similar situations. Relatively small populations, close proximity to neighbouring SL clubs. For either club to achieve the crowd figures required to sustain a top half SL team seems like a big ask.
With a sugar daddy, both clubs could enjoy a modicum of success, but it's only ever going to be short lived, and it will go very badly wrong when the money is gone.
So the question remains, what makes Nahaboo want be involved at Fev when there is no prospect of any money being made? You either do it for the love, or for the money. If it isn't for the money, where has the love for Fev come from? And if it's not love, where are the profits going to come from??
I'm being a cynic, but there is a big, big WHY question that has me worried because I can't find a convincing reason that doesn't end up with Fev being screwed over.
And finally, read his profile... www.probiz-excellence.com/probiz/feisal.php - it gives me the creeps. This guy sounds alarm bells in my mind, and I wouldn't be surprised to find that his empire collapses quite quickly one day. I'm just hoping it doesn't take any RL clubs with it. |

Helping to improve the wealth and lifestyle of clients.......and he is investing in a championship RL club.
It seems to me that they are as far removed from one another as they possibly could be.

They're not the best team outside SL. They choke.
Putting that aside, this is great news for Championship RL and if he puts his money where his mouth is and Fev reach the dizzy heights then it will be an example of what structured investment can do for a Championship club and may encourage others to invest in the same way instead of going for broke with a sickly SL club. I am heartily pleased with this news - so long as the guy follows through.
