Listy, but my point is, quite likely less than previous.

Re: Promotion cost... : Sun Mar 07, 2021 10:25 pm  

So listy, whats your thoughts on what the promotion cost would be? Irrelivent of who is going to have to or who can afford to pay for it

Re: Promotion cost... : Sun Mar 07, 2021 10:39 pm  

However much it is, i suspect it will be more than it might have cost to keep us in SL!!

Still waiting for you to submit any evidence to support this claim.

I've no idea - its not worth thinking about, it'll never happen again. We've had numerous chances and DH has flushed them all down the toilet.

He won't have any as he's just got a fertile imagination.

NB you keep going on about the cost of SL. There are many factors to take into account, but principally the strategy a club approaches being the most important; If you commit to marketing and the fan base grows then potentially your outlay lowers. If you go with a 70% academy squad the likelihood is the overall cost will be lower than what Toronto did. See how differing factors affect the overall cost? Toronto bought a squad, Wigan developed a squad and enhanced it....

Clarky said on TV some time back average salary of SL player was 60k

60 x 23
10 x circa 20-30k for kids
coach, asst coach, fitness coach (Thats minimum coaching squad, marketing, ........
Ground cost
Academy, reserve teams

You do the maths

So listy what yr saying is yr not really interesting of giving your opinion on the title of the the thread thats fine.
Thanks WQ you made a stab at yr thoughts.
As for your comparison with Wigan, london have had 40 years plus to build a team around home grown! Still nowhere near, so yes to get into SL you need to bring experience in.
Fyi all those years ago when danny orr played for us he was on around 80k LMS before he left just under 20 as a kid.

Might have been GF. Something of note on a very small wage
