Main reason being Doyle & Emil as a top two would be financial suicide in this league for any team imo. Attendances wouldn't come anywhere close to covering the cost of those two in the same 1-7.

2ndbendbeerhut Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Playing devils advocate here... Very clever to use a big name that is very unlikely to happen with 1. Cost and 2. Being a Russian. Then promotion can go to plan A of Doyle Batch King Riss Worrall Rew Thomas. Then say " look we tried but not allowed with restrictions. We really did try... blah blah blah . Here's the team we are allowed though" Or maybe a rabbit (or Russian) will be pulled from a hat.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Worst case scenario 1. Doyle, 2. Batchelor, 3. R. Worrall, 4. Riss, 5. King, 6. Rew & 7. Thomas Is there like a middle of the road scenario.

Not sure they’ve got anything to gain from doing that. Quite the opposite in fact! Getting people’s hopes up with a huge name and then doing a Jim Bowen with “look at what you could have seen” and then revealing Riss and Worrall (with all due respect to them) is not gonna get people rushing to buy a season ticket.

But where's the Emil rumour come from.... not from the club, but they then can say, "sorry we tried." Have seen this in past so sorry for being sceptical....

Flappy Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Emil, Magic, Chris Holder, Bewley and to a lesser extent NKI, Lidsey, KK, back in the league can only be good for the league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
