It’s not the retention but the bringing in of new quality players that’s the issue for clubs like us and potentially B clubs.

Retention can be managed but to bring in a quality players asking them to sign for 2024 and beyond even we can’t guarantee SL (potentially with a couple other clubs) it really does for the most part rule us out of signing those quality players in the market.

Is there a better way I don’t know but I’d like to hope their is for a more competitive league.

It's no different to now. Getting a B is probably better than being in the bottom two

Retention is just as troublesome as recruitment, hence why we still have 8 unsigned contract offers to our own players! We will undoubtably lose guys we want to keep.

I believe that this payment was stopped, you go down then you survive on what you can generate or the board contributes however, there may be some additional money from the TV contract but I could be wrong.

Payments like aren't good for the rest of the teams in the division. If you go down you have to cut your cloth accordingly, simple as that

I believe all we will get in the Championsip is £200K per season, same as the rest. With the debt the club are carrying it's not a very nice prospect.

I think it was taken away when the contracts changed.
It was originally there to pay for the Super League contracts still in place when income reduced through relegation.
But now they just cancel the contract.

That figure is dependent on what the new tv deal equates to. If it reduces again so will that amount.

That is the plus about the new stand. We will be in a position to generate revenue that might not be available to other Championship clubs, hopefully increasing the prospect of us bouncing back up.
