Whether and the extent to which the debt stays on the books might be an issue, as that would be where the power or control would ultimately lay. That is what is important, rather than the cash itself, which is effectively gone.
that running a SL club as a viable business isn't feasible for most, we seem to have finally accepted. Investment is inevitably, to a large extent, really subsidy. Nobody will invest with a view to making money. Which might mean nobody invests. Or somebody might do it to pursue sporting success.

More likely, IMO, is that there's a deal to keep us ticking over but no announcement has been made yet either because:
A. It is only very early June, and they haven't quite got around to it or
B. they're still trying to secure an additional or alternative deal.

If , as you suggest , a deal is struck to keep you going , is that not a loan from the new investor ?

If it is a loan then unless the whole business model changes then they won't see it again. Is that what any normal fan of a club would do ? Invest knowing there is little chance of seeing a return of capital nor indeed a return on capital invested. Are there really any Sugar Daddy's left ?

I would imagine a new investor would also have to line up behind Allams as a creditor as well. Also if the SL moves to 12 teams in 2015 would Rovers really be 1 of the Clubs and thus what about income streams ?

A LOT to think on and hence delays in announcements

Happily for RL there are a good number of sugar daddies around. McManus, Moran, Koukash, Hughes, Davy - none of them are in it to enrich themselves.
The rfl have said that the clubs that drop down a level will be the bottom 2 with no exemptions or protection. A bad season and it could be us - as it could be any 2 of about 8, realistically.
If we make the cut and SL holds onto all the money, we're a bit better off. Hopefully the north stand will turn a few quid. You never know quite how things are going to turn out - that's the gamble and excitement of it. We're a better bet than some, but it is very much a niche market.

For a rovers supporter,you dont arf talk a lot of common sense mild rover,

, for what its worth as i have said many times we need 2 hull teams in sl,

You decided to stick with posting Rhubarb then.

Rhubarb? More like absolute horse poop.

Have you let Adam Pearson know that he will never see his hard earned again? And he is not even a fan.
In his interview he said that he is not prepared to fund £500,000 loses.
Mind you if the 2,000 subscribe to the gambling website that he was asking the Hull fans to do the club will gain
£100,000. But probably lose 2,000 fans next year when they can no longer afford a season pass due to their
new gambling habit.

Hull board (if they'll have you!

), now please. Cheers.

I thought the topic was investment and sugar daddys

HE did say we need 11-12,000 crowds to break even though

14,000 Didn't he. As for Investment Neil stated in his program notes that it will all be sorted this week. Hopefully that will be an end to all the uncertainty.

I miss him being completely owned everytime he posts.

Pretty sure he said 11-12k, certainly wasn't 14k

It was 14,500

However, with much more investment still needed, Pearson says the club must get back towards the peak of 2007 – when the club averaged more than 14,500 fans – to balance the books.

Probably why he was begging 2000 Hull FC fans to subscribe to online gambling this week. tut tut tut.

Are they still on the deal where 50% of anything over 7,500 goes to the SMC, if so a 12,000 gate is only worth the same as a 10,000 gate anywhere else.

Towards, and you've obviously watched the interview so you know your post is a load of shat

Indeed, but unlike anywhere else, that 10k is ours and we've paid for everything including rent, stewarding, stadium running costs, ticketing etc.

So that means you won't be posting a loss this year if you are correct.
Would you like a Foxy Bingo bet on it?

We're posting a £1/2m loss for last year but that includes significant off field investment and isn't a reflection on a "normal" year. Post the link to the HDM article as many times as you want but it still won't say what you want it to

That was last year. Are you saying you will break even this year?

Worry about your own team tiny we will be fine .

And you are on a rovers thread because?
Any top tips or insider info this week?

Our new investor is none other than Anthony Larvin.

1. Im on the rovers board not talking about adam pearson or repeating the same crap

2. Havent had a bet for a couple of weeks pal because ive lost all my money on foxy bingo

A fool and his money are soon parted
