Exactly my thoughts.
The SL has always been full time till now and should remain as such. This really does lower the quality of the league.
Basically they’ve receive 1.5 million funding and are not using it to fund a full time team. As you say if Trinity or Cas had done that there would have been endless sniping at them. I believe they will run threadbare this season and then save the money to invest in topping championship in 2025.
The honouring of part time contracts for players with jobs only comes into it because in 12 months those players will be back job hunting again and going back to part time.
They really have become a fly in the ointment.
It's certainly true that a fly or two have gone into the ointment.
Yes, they should certainly be moving to a FT squad for SL but, with the cast iron guarantee of "relegation", for them, they are right to try and be ready for the following season.
They literally have nothing to play for.
Are they "unlucky" with the timing of their promotion or, has the sport let them down (badly).
Not too many years ago, having London in SL was seen as a fundamental requirement of the sports long term success and whilst this point is open to discussion, the current situation is wrong.
