I think it does the exact opposite.
It confirms that the results and performances have been way below those expected of the highest graded club in the league.

I thought that might come. It really doesn't as people have challenged the management of first team affairs not the club as a whole. Unless I missed those posts?

Absolutely, the grading obviously wasn't achieved through onfield performances. Great credit for growing the club as a whole. Though also to be factored in is the size of the city and opportunity that should create.

I'm loving all the Weegan fans on Farcebook complaining they should be top because they just won SL.

If they end up owning the stadium they possibly could be top of the pop's.

IMG Gradings Cause Controversy : Thu Oct 26, 2023 9:28 am  

IMG Gradings Cause Controversy
Reaction to the IMG preliminary grading of clubs has had a very mixed response from clubs and fans alike with those faring well being relatively comfortable with their score, while those who are down the rankings kicking back against the system, criteria, the Rugby Football League, and IMG.

There is no question that IMG have been handed a poisoned chalice, and it is impossible for them to make proposals to expand the game without upsetting a few, of not the majority of clubs.

But if you believe what a lot of fans say, in that the game is dying, then there seems to be little option than to try something radical and make a change at a fundamental level.

Social media is awash with criticism, but those with the most to lose will always shout the loudest, there are unlikely to be many evangelists putting a positive slant on the proposals, as those who are destined to benefit will keep their heads below the parapet.

I would doubt that as the new owner Mike Danson has a personal net worth of £1.4 billion according to reports.

Aye, trophies and winning games are overrated what I care about is the IMG grading system. I'm sure Wigan would trade their Championship for it.

Champions of IMG grading status, you'll never sing that!
