Are there people out there with the cash and inclination to buy the club, if priced realistically, though?

On my experience 8 months ago yes, wether they have the relevant capital to move us forward is a different matter.

I would have to be honest and say there would be very few with real money who would get involved in RL to that degree unless a real fan of the club ... unless that club is mega sucessful which we simply do not appear to be!
as someone mentioned in another post today we are quickly becoming the NU of SL

the fans would support a proactive board just as us, the fans, are currently supporting a non proactive one. the income & turnover would follow

but why would they wish to sell something that now has no relegation, and tons of cash coming in through the doors week after week....

The biggest concern about capital would be the payoffs required to change things, ideally someone would become invoved with the SMC so we have a sa-so at that level, we'd also need to (potentially) cancel a fe contracts.

Nobody wuld get involved in RL to make money short or medium term, you'd need to be in fo the long term IMHO.

if you own the club lock stock and barrel why would we need to cancel contracts? you buy the franchise, you own the franchise and all that goes with it.

granted we need a fan with enuff clout but this is a viable company, the board keep telling us so. there is only one way we'd get them out and its to drive them out, start the rumblings and make enuff noise and believe me people will come out the woodwork to take over. it may take a couple of years but i'd take another couple of years of on field crap backed up by another dollop of off field propaganda bollox by them to get them driven out of our city.

The idiot that started this thread is unbelievable !! you lot were top of the league a couple of weeks ago....now two weeks later you are wanting to sack the board, sack the CEO, sack half the team cos you have lost a couple of games !! I just cant work some people out Jesus christ !!!

But i could see the bigger picture even defeating huddersfield and Bradford we was still average at best just both f them on the day was a lot worse than us, Leeds or saints would have put 50 points on both teams, our board with the appoitment of the coach are taking us backwards on the pitch, yet we still turn up every week home and away in vast numbers to watch p1ss poor rugby
