My posts do not reflect the opinion of rlfans.com, my employer, the Prime Minister, Lassie, NRL fans or the privately educated. The opinions posted here are solely intended to influence the intellectually destitute.

Money back guarantee applies.

No sporting organisation is truly sustainable, simply because they are a relatively small number of bad decisions away from sporting failure which is usually accompanied by falling revenues and attendances.

Manchester United are making money because they climbed to the top of the tree and were there when TV contracts brought an explosion of money in to Football. The financial momentum of football over the last quarter century has meant that by being good at the right time and keeping stable structures for the duration, Manchester United have ridden the wave very effectively.

But compare Manchester United, one of the sport world's financial success stories, to a trusted and profitable company in an established non-sport industry. That business is likely to be an order of magnitude more stable than Manchester United.

Sport is an unpredictable zero sum game. At the end of the season there has to be a team at the top of the league and one at the bottom. It's never about how good your team is or how good your staff are, it's simply about how good your team is in comparison to your competitors.

Should the financial bubble ever burst in Football - and economics suggest that it must at some point - then the clubs with the largest financial commitments are likely to be the ones that struggle the most to adjust.

We do not need to be run sustainably in the traditional sense, but we should be run prudently. We do need to be in a position where we aren't in immediate jeopardy if we have unexpected shortfalls, lose investors, fail on the field, etc. There should always be a plan B and C that can see us work our way out of the problems.

But having any plan B puts us in front of most sports clubs.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Proffesional sport is an anomaly, you can be hugely successful and a financial disaster, Chelsea and Man City spring to mind

We need to try to be self sustainable, it is in our own interest to do so

I could make us self sustainable tomorrow but the harsh facts are we would not be anywhere remotely close to Super League as all the players would be paid only £150 a win.

Then we actually become less sustainable as we go on as the quality of the player on the pitch provided by that structure ensures many defeats for the club will be incurred. Over a short time, the club spirals down the league / divisions and with the subsequent drop in crowds and gate revenue due to a poor product then suddenly we can not even pay the £100 win bonus or cover any of its liabilities and the club appeals once more for help from supporters to raise funds

Lets keep the current structure for now and lets ride on the crest of the wave in 2015. For those who's working week is over, I raise a glass of fine scotch and say Happy Friday every one ! :CHEERS:
