Just about every SL club is my understanding, although the degree varies considerably.





The Leeds case is still ongoing AFAIK.

Love to see them Ba$tards come a cropper. I hate them more than Rovers at the mo.

maybe not. But it's close call.

The problem is that if Leeds lose this case it's going to cost every club in RL a fortune - in some cases it may be enough to put them out of business. So just this once I'd like to see them win.

I see your point.

Now I know how that bloke felt in that film 127 hours, just before he had to amputate his own arm.

A good deal By Adam Pearson by the look of it, his experience with the football side of it has helped. Football have been dealing with this for some time and seem to have reached "arrangement" with the Inland revenue. The cost of these debts was I understand reflected in the lower price paid by Mr Pearson to the outgoing board, so he has once again proved his business skills by saving a decent wedge.



I await to see what happens with the other clubs now as the inland revenue have a legal duty to maximise the amount of money they collect in taxes. The can and do excercise some degree of latitude as ti would we appear to have taken full advantage of .



Fair play Adam

we have also set a precedent by which other clubs cannot wriggle out of it completey, be interesting to see how Wakey, Cas et al cope.

Its interesting to see if other clubs follow the example and get a deal whilst they can because if Leeds lose the case the Inland Revenue will be knocking on every clubs door for the full whack.

Just change their names to Vodaphone Tigers/Warriors/Rhinos etc. they'll be fine



Failing that, they could always threaten to play their home games in Monaco - problem solved

No they're not. If I agree to pay you a million quid back over 12 months and you accept then we've come to an agreement but I still owe you the money

Interesting that blunderside reported pearson has again mentioned "years of under investment" by the previous owners. I'd love to know how much they milked out of the club

Wakey are the only superleague club that don't have any liabilities do to the administration earlier in the year (the same would have applied to the Crusaders). There was talk of a virtual league-wide mass adminstration call if Leeds lost their test case to stop most of SL going under. Be interesting how it pans out.

10 years according to the Pearson statement.
