So next week looks like it is when IMG will be revealing their plans for the new format, will we be in it?
Looking at a couple of articles online it said dont be surprised if they throw in a Dublin or Edinburgh. It seemed strange that last week Bradford have now approached the government in regards to getting funding for the new stadium via the governments levelling up plans.
Do you reckon David Hughes has been approached in regards to Londons involvement. With IMG's offices in the Australia and their links with Australian clubs it would have been good if IMG could have approached a few of the teams in Australia selling them the idea of loaning players to London with IMG maybe running the London team.
It is my understanding that IMG have ben tasked with coming up with ways by which the RFL/SL can make more revenue from the game. Given David Hughes' ability to turn a SL club with a turn over of 4 million pounds a year into the cabbage that we are now, I would suggest that IMG wouldn't be keen to ask him anything, nor invite him to participate in anything.
If IMG believe that a London based club is a necessity for the game to grow revenue, I would suggest they either start from scratch or offer Hughes a quid to buy the club from him. If he remains at the club in any shape or form, then any "new ownership/partnership" model will be doomed as all those before have been when they involve Hughes.
