I won't be at the game on the 16th but I'll see if my next door but one neighbours will bring it.

I suspect that this is what comes of selling out to SKY.

As you imply - it's difficult. Obviously CW must be out of the game for ever - not that anyone would touch him with a bargepole anyway. Short of making directors personally responsible for the club's debts, I don't see what can be done. There's only so much policing of borrowing that the governing bodies can do. The stocks ? That should be fun - as well as a bit of a deterrent.

Point I was making was that relegating Rangers does not, imho, create a winner. Everyone loses.

It was happening before that but the numbers are bigger now.

I know what your saying but i think by relegating a club (even if money for a short term is lost) like rangers,a big club,shows the league as a whole that you can't mismanage a club and win at all costs then go bust and just start again,If Bradford for example were made to start in the bottom division,It would send a clear message that if you do live above your means there is a severe punishment.The clubs would soon tighten there belts IMO,If there's no punishment the clubs/directors will just carryon the win at all costs moneywise mentality.We need more stricter penalties for directors and the clubs involved if found mismanaged.

I see what you're saying but how will you enforce that on the directors ? They just drift out of the game and out of RFL jurisdiction.
