The fans are ultimately interested in performance on the pitch and that's what really counts with all sports teams. Good performance means that good players are attracted to the club. Of course the Board run the club as a business for the benefit of the shareholders under proper (we hope) financial and other corporate governance procedures. IL has got his head screwed on and the backroom team and set up is as good as it has been in years. If youngsters go elsewhere, then so be it, it is a free market and their career is a short one.

apologies i was under the impression that he was paying the players wages too

he might be. If wire bring in 1.3 mill he cap pay the rest of the cap out of his own pocket to help them reach the whole cap.

thats well out of order, cos i thought that there was another caveat to the sc that they could only spend a max of 50% of their income on wages now surely that income should be proper income not out of the chairman's back pocket? and (if my maths are correct, n i wasnt much good at that at school) he would have to put double in for them to be able to use that extra to pay for wages? either way thats not in the spirit of the cap, and prob should be at least looked at,

that was abolished, if it was enforced Quins, Wakey and Crusaders would not have gone under

fair plays, that was the only thing i though good about the sc.
