That's the good thing about Dr Kaukash he said he's not after making profit as he makes plenty of money elsewhere he just wants the club to be run properly to the level where it can win trophies.

| Quote Father Ted="Father Ted"The new investors at clubs are not throwing money at their own place.
Wigan make a profit with Lenagan in charge.
Moran makes a profit at Wire.
Saints will go into profit 2013 McManus has said.
Caddick makes Hetherington get a profit out of Leeds.
Khan will make a profit in a year or two after his investment.
Davy is trying to do the same at Hudds after underwriting losses.
Pearson will have HullFC making a profit, not difficult there .
The days of major benefactors pouring money down a Rugby League drainhole are mostly gone or very much on the way out.
They are all running their clubs on the basis of well run commercial outfits.
My club, Wigan, are now making yearly profits and winning trophies. Leeds and Wire are doing the same.
If clubs continually lose money the day of financial reckoning will come. Make a profit and you're in business forever.
I do think this generation of club owners are very good for their own clubs and Rugby League in general.
I do wish you good fortune in turning the finances around.'"
You paint a very rosey picture there Father Ted. Back in the real world of SL though only 2 clubs made a profit last year. Wigan and Leeds. The combined profit of those two clubs was dwarfed by the combined loss of the other 12. |

This is the good stuff - the motherlode if you like; a vein of pure, unadulterated claptrap! |

Throw tens of millions at club and they end up profitable, but if you dont have that kind of money you end up in a viscous circle of robbing peter to pay paul, small clubs cant afford to market and pay full cap so its hard to increase revenues. If we had the same sort of investment that some clubs have had we would be in a shiney stadium making triple the corporate income, in front of 10k crowds, watching our top 8 team full of some the best youngsters in the game. But we dont have that kind of money.
Look at how much warrington have grown with more council backing than us and a sugar daddy. Look at how much huddersfield have grown.
If any of the fans of the bigger clubs know a solution to teams struggling to grow on a small budget i would be glad to hear it?

I think the new Salford set-up will be touted about by the RFL as [uthe model [/ufor sucess for any small club with SL aspirations. Own your own stadium, multi-millionaire backer, grow your fan base and invest in the juniors. Thats if it comes off of course.

Own your own stadium - Isn't their stadium the Council's?
multi-millionaire backer - who can pull out at anytime and leave the up poop creek without a paddle
grow your fan base - not hard when you're only averaging around 4-5,000
invest in the juniors - how many of Salford's squad from 2012 were "home-grown"

Fumper - regarding Salford, I think the Dr intends to buy the stadium form Peel Holdings.

If the guy suddenly comes up with £5million or £15million I would think that British and Spanish Authorities may take an interest.
