Wigan Warriors • No Return for Toronto
[quote="Egg Chasing"]They were voted out because they have no money and would potentially be a financial liability on an already struggling sport.
They can apply back to L1 but given the above probably wouldn't get the green light there either.[/quot
Exactly, they had no money and were £1 million in debt and the new owner who despite paying off the debt, has now stated that if they were readmitted, they would have a further estimated debt of £3 million over the next three years.
If they cannot run on a profitable basis in Super League, what chance have they and indeed Ottawa got in Division One where many of the clubs are hardly bigger than many of the clubs in the National Conference.
How the RFL, Leeds and St Helens can vote in favour of them being readmitted to Super League is beyond rational thinking, especially with the world wide situation of the pandemic.
