| Quote Rotherham Fev Fan="Rotherham Fev Fan"Mish, the 2012 sponsorship and 2013 sponsorship is already in the bank
In addition a huge huge wad covering the signing of Ellis James and Bryant has already been banked! E.G. The bloke has already divvied up true to his word.
Now I'd say that is good enough for me to have confidence in him.
The deal signed on Monday evening has sod all to do with the land Fev own to dispell further suposition.
Great deal for Fev with the amounts unheard of at this level.'"
In that case I'm really pleased for you and your club and I hope that this time he's true to his word.  |

Good luck to Fev, anyone with aspirations of SL need a sugar daddy to get in and win anything! Bad stories about a businessman usually mean he's good at it!!!

Featherstone has a population of 14,175. Where do they expect to get the fans from to support a top 6 SL team?
I hope Fev are acting sensibly. They should spend any extra money on projects that are going to be around and benefiting them long after the money has gone. If they waste it on players, it may be difficult to adjust the playing budget when the money dries up.

Grief - the old Fev only has a 14k population reposte!! Most fans appear to have moved on from this one, but anyhoo.... here goes - again...
Fev pull in from other areas as my username might just indicate Michael.
Fev have never just pulled from their immediate locality - just the same as Leigh.
Fev has always historically been the club of Pontefract as anyone with just a smidge of local knowledge realises - just check out the population of ponty!
In the pre SL days - without a backer to finance players for an assault at silverware - we did ok from the surrounding locality.

The point is about whether having top 6 SL ambitions for a club like Featherstone is realistic or sensible.
The combined population of Featherstone + Pontefract is slightly less than that of Leigh, without including any of the other traditional Leigh strongholds.
Looking at both clubs, we're in very similar situations. Relatively small populations, close proximity to neighbouring SL clubs. For either club to achieve the crowd figures required to sustain a top half SL team seems like a big ask.
With a sugar daddy, both clubs could enjoy a modicum of success, but it's only ever going to be short lived, and it will go very badly wrong when the money is gone.
So the question remains, what makes Nahaboo want be involved at Fev when there is no prospect of any money being made? You either do it for the love, or for the money. If it isn't for the money, where has the love for Fev come from? And if it's not love, where are the profits going to come from??
I'm being a cynic, but there is a big, big WHY question that has me worried because I can't find a convincing reason that doesn't end up with Fev being screwed over.
And finally, read his profile... www.probiz-excellence.com/probiz/feisal.php - it gives me the creeps. This guy sounds alarm bells in my mind, and I wouldn't be surprised to find that his empire collapses quite quickly one day. I'm just hoping it doesn't take any RL clubs with it. |

Helping to improve the wealth and lifestyle of clients.......and he is investing in a championship RL club.
It seems to me that they are as far removed from one another as they possibly could be.
