Quote Ian P="Ian P"I do think the RFL are being selective who they help and how.
They fall over themselves to help out Crusaders or so it would appear and I why did no player from Crusaders get themselves snapped up by another club.'"
Appearances can be deceiving. If you check out the detail of what went on the RFL have basically acted to ensure that the 'new' Crusaders club pay back everything they owe to both the RFL and the other RL clubs. They even have a mortgage on Crusaders ground to ensure this happens.
And Crusaders did sell one player during the short time they were in admin. The fact that they only stayed in admin for a few weeks and had the funds to keep operating during that time explains why they didn't need to sell more. Unfortunately Wakey had no cash at all when they entered admin and no assets to raise capital against other than the sale of players.
Quote Ian P="Ian P"Wakefield fans are getting a rough deal and it can happen to any club as these are hard difficult times.'"
Agree about the Wakey fans. As far as other clubs being at risk, times are certainly as hard but Ted Richardson made a spectacular hash of running Wakey over a number of years which is why they are as deep in the mire as they are with actually quite modest debts.
