They could stop spending the full salary cap on first team players.
Clubs like Leeds that actually contribute to the sport in some meaningful way are massively held back by the smaller clubs who have, for decades, spent every penny on players.
Bradford is a perfect example. Spent far more money than they could afford on players for years, cost Leeds some trophies, then go bust.
If they’d been building over time by occasionally improving their crumbling stadium instead of looking for silver bullets then the whole game would be better off.
Until the game forces clubs to invest in their infrastructure and forces them to even attempt to grow their revenues then the sport will be stuck where it is.
Add in the Toronto/Leigh debacle and we’re just a mid-sized fish in a rapidly shrinking puddle of sick outside a sh|t northern nightclub.
Instead of the governing bodies "forcing" clubs to improve stadia and facilities how about the governing bodies helping them to do it?
