And with London, Bradford, Salford & Wakefield all suffering from severe financial problems in recent years and plenty of others either reliant on owners input or being 1 big payment away from disaster, we should be incredibly grateful that whatever happens on the pitch the club is secure off it.

Something which I think is often underestimated/under appreciated by many Leeds fans.

Yeah but he hasn't signed a superstar prop to replace Peacock or made McDermott get an assistant or hired a coach who'll get rid of all the proven old timers and replace them with unproven youngsters who are overhyped in their age group, so........Hetherington out!!!

the way they operate they never will

By way of comparison, Wire reached a final last year and posted a profit of only £18k More details viewtopic.php?f=21&t=573139&tsmp=1408022314

The question is how many clubs would survive if their benefactors pulled out.



There wouldn't be much of a competition left if that happened, or if Sky reduce it's funding.

how does rlfc owe rufc & how does caddick owe leeds so much

The only figures I'd be interested in seeing are how far under the permitted salary cap Leeds operate at and how little they spend on coaching generally and the head-coaching position in particular.

And if you were to learn the figures you allude to, would you finally admit what a wonderful job the board, the coach and the players have done to best those high spending other clubs with overpaid players and coaches?

Which year/season were these financial results for?



If Leeds had achieved all they set out to achieve (in 2013) and done so while also making a healthy profit then they might well be justified in receiving the plaudits you appear wishing to bestow - if on the other hand the club fell short in reaching one, two, three or even all their playing targets and just perhaps for the sake of an extra quality signing or two or even the leadership of a high quality (but not so cheap) coaching staff then the congratulatory back-slapping should be replaced by a question of 'what if ?'



Hopefully in their minds if not in yours.

I get the feeling that TVOC appreciated the approach to running the club taken by the previous owners who left no stone unturned or no sum unborrowed in their quest to win everything they possibly could.



TVOC's glass has remained half empty during the most illustrious period in the clubs entire history, under the present regime's guidance. Makes me feel a bit sad for the old statto because whilst he shares much of the negativity of the doom mongers on here he possesses many more brain cells.

Can always count on someone on here to turn what should be a big positive into a negative...
