I wonder what would have happened if the RFL had said no to Hood asking for a loan in 2011? We would likely have gone into administration then. And the administrator would be trying to find a buyer for a club with about £1m in debt but with an SL franchise and an asset valued at £1.5m in 2012. We might have got a much better quality of buyer, we might have got one of those "vultures" that the RFL were worried about. But we would have been a much more attractive option then than we were 10months later.
It was a poor do all round and it would appear that the ramifications are still being felt by both the club and the RFL.
The lesson to be learned from this is that other than helping to ensure that fixtures are fulfilled (although this doesn't seem to happen in the much wealthier round ball game), They should keep well away from club politics.
The whole thing stunk at the time and as more time passes, their decision has been shown to be and absolute shocker.
I wonder how many of those involved at the RFL are still there ?
