London Broncos • Matt Davies

And what is it you think THE CLUB would do with it that it already isn't doing now with him overseeing things?

A thriving Academy and Scholarship set up. The most engaging community programme for years, perhaps ever. Improved back office and structure with competent staff who can do their jobs as proven with the sponsorship brought in recently which I believe to be the highest income from sponsorship in many years. A permanent home for players of all levels to train together and fans to enjoy stability. A sensible and affordable playing roster that suits the position the club is in both league wise and supporter wise currently.

I'm a Hull City Football fan and do you know what, the Premier League was alright but having players earning hundreds of thousands of pounds a year and going up and down like a yo yo with a crazy owner has taught me one thing, I would rather support a club that plays to it's level both on and off the field and grows slowly and without the need for crazy inputs of finance to live a dream. I do not see fans of Brighton or Bournemouth complaining that it took them an age to grow to where they are now.

You have a personal issue with DH and that is fine, you are entitled to an opinion, but you're also letting it cloud your judgement. Having dealt with the club for 3 years now the difference in professionalism is clear to see.

The man is simply fed up of losing £2,000,000 a year and is trying to regulate the flow of cash out of the club to a more sensible and manageable level. I would say that is pretty important. You seem intent on finding someone else to throw away money down the drain just to live a dream. It is the sporting equivalent of having a gorgeous blonde on your arm who needs thousands spending on her yet ultimately she will be banging you're best mate the minute your back is turned. He was just pi$$ing money down the drain on staff and players that were having a ride. You deserve better as fans and he certainly doesn't deserve that.

And finally you mention Skolars. Have you any idea how much they lose a year even with the smallest playing budget in the league? They are just a smaller version of the Broncos who are themselves just a smaller version of Salford. Only a handful of clubs will ever be profitable money making machines such as Leeds, Hull FC and Wigan which as you are fully aware is down to location and fan base.

I fully accept that London as a City is huge and back in the day 4000 was an achievable crowd but the only reason those people came was to see mercenary players struggle in the top flight. Surely it is better to build a fan base watching players who are paid a sensible wage for the level of football they can compete at with an Academy bringing through home grown talent and a community programme adding bums on seats year on year as people start to embrace the club.

London Broncos can grow, and I believe will grow, into a very strong Championship club with a couple of thousand fans and potential (RFL permitting) to join the top flight one day without the need for a David Hughes or Derek Beaumont. It is not going to happen overnight though.
