The deadline is when it becomes apparent that we cannot stay in the CCC.
Until then nothing is going to happen.Even if it means taking a 10 point hit next season because we still have a chance of staying up in the last match of the season.3 million in extra TV money is above all other considerations.They don't give a monkey's about how many STs they sell pre-season. 3 million extra VAT free smackeroos is equivalent to roughly all the STs they sold this season.
268/3x80%/24 million= a lot of extra money,on top of the spin off Sky revenue that we already get.
