Is he a RL fan though ?. If so why did he not buy a RL team instead of Stade ?. He is a proven businessman and he knows there is no market for RL in Paris.
You can't read obviously can you, he's a fan as he use to go to RL games, it states it in the newspaper article.
I have no idea why he has a union team but seeing as you know it all, next time you meet him, ask for us all.
You are also a troll on the planet-rugby site.
I post in RL related threads or threads where someone mentions RL, (asks a question, tells a lie) that's the difference between you and I SteveM, so if you want to disprove what I have stated, go and have a look at my posts, troll.
This is the one of the main reasons the last Parisian team failed in SL.
The last Paris team failed because the local French players not only had to play for PSG in the ESL, they then had to back up for their local Elite clubs, coupled with the fact the team stank on the pitch anyone can see it was a rushed disaster.
A fella like Guazzini obviously knows how to run a business and how to build and promote his interests, I'll back him in knowing the sporting market over a Troll who wants nothing but failure for the mung0 code.
French people want to see French players. There is no harm in a few over seas players but not a whole team of foreigners.
Is that why around a third of the players in the Top14 are from other countries Steve?
And tell me Steve, which French team(s) in Rugby
League have a whole team of foreigners?
Thats what will be required as the quality of French RL players is appalling.
Could you tell us how you know this Steve, can you tell us why the quality of French RL players is appalling?
Who is producing these juniors ?.
The FFR13 are like they have for years Steve, the clubs also do their own thing like they always have and not to long ago, a few months actually, the FFR13 got a fair few more development officers and started working on the areas the FFR13 thought they needed working on.
There are also RL academies in Toulouse, Perpignan and a few other places. The schools are starting to get D/O's teaching children RL.
I've posted countless pics in here showing juniors playing or at juniors get togethers when you've opened your big mouth, you then scurry away for a few months and forget about it, but I don't.
And why all of a sudden after decades of zero junior development will there be loads of juniors in 3-6 years time ?.
Zero junior development?
If that's the case you plonker, how in the world has the game survived in France over the years, they obviously must have plenty of money to buy any junior Rugby Ugly player they want mustn't they?

Why not educate yourself before you come back Steve.
There is currently only 159 RL players in Paris according to government figures. Dont you think any potential investor will know this ?.
You do know that government figures usually only count registered CLUB players you dope?
Were Mimes, Federal, Cadets, Schools and junior Elite counted Steve?
http://www.com1site.com/FFRXIII/jeunes.php
Do a search Steve, the site has all the dates and fixtures listed for 2010 for everything including schools.
The Government say RL out here in Aus has only 180 odd thousand players, yet they don't count schools and others do they?
The number was over 400,000 in 2009, think about it just once.
This is your biggest misunderstanding.
My biggest misunderstanding is why you continue to come in here and be a prat, no, no I take that back, I do understand why you come in here, it's quite funny actually, you can smell the FEAR a mile away, why not buzz off back to the Roar and planet Vichy to continue your anti RL crusade.
The local authority will want to use it all year round especially in this financial climate.
Well gee Steve, I never thought of that nor did I mention it :roll:
However, the RL team will lose more money than it costs to run the stadium by themselves.
Again know all know nothing, how do you know this, got any figures available to show how much money it will cost to run the team, how about showing us what crowds they need to break even, what about the merchandise sales, how much would they need to sell each season to help stop the club going to the wall and lastly Steve the know all, how much will it cost to run the stadium just during the RL season?
Look forward to your response.
Again this will be a basic check carried out by potential investors.
You didn't read the newspaper report did you Steve, they will have major backing from Guazzini and the casino-owning Patouche family along with the ex French International Union coach who also was the minister of sport in Bernard Laporte, the first two have already stated in the newspaper report that you didn't read that they will fund it themselves.
Then there is the fact that the SL is already being shown on Orange sport, you know Orange sport Steve, the same company that is the MAJOR SPONSOR OF THE TOP 14 UNION COMP.
Why do you think they are testing the water with a LER team ?
Ummm, the FFR13 and the RFL would be the ones that want that, not the people behind the SF team.
Just because the Top 14 salary cap is being lowered does not mean he will spend his money on a RL team !.
Learn to read, he's already stated that hes going to fund it with the casino-owning Patouche family, fair dinkum :roll:
How ridiculous is that statement ?.
You're looking like a fool who can comprehend what he reads.
The most likely scenario is that he will spend more on the S.F academy improving the quality and quantity of French players coming through the system. This would be an investment in his existing team.
Who's to say what will happen Steve, maybe he will do that, maybe he'll treat them as separate clubs and do what he has to for both, ever thought of that?
Its going to cost a lot more to run a ESL RL team than 2 million Euros especially as they are effectively starting from scratch.
Is it your money?
If not, why the hell hould you care what someone else does with their own money.
I can't believe your quoting the Sun Newspaper.
It wasn't just the Sun newspaper stupid, it was reported by non other than Larrat the FFR13 president on radio marseilette last month.
Here's a thread know all,
knock yourself out
Just look at London - it's taken 30 years and they only have crowds of about 2000
3.5/4k, nice lie again Steve, yet you don't mention all the juniors playing down there now though do you, maybe cause your argument might fall apart.
Celtic Crusaders are basically bust after one year and could only sell 25 season tickets !.
Seems to be going down quite well with the locals Steve, why not educate yourself
again
There is virtually zero interest in RL in France. It only has 10,000 players in the whole country of which 156 are in Paris. Yes -159 !!!.
Really Steve, I thought Les catalans were getting popular, I also posted some pics of games lately that have Ler 1 and 2 teams doing quite well with crowds and in the media.
Need any links?
The Roos vs France game was a total embarrassment for the game of RL.
I wasn't embarrassed Steve, so why should you care what RL fans think when you're not 1.
Those facts will not have gone unnoticed.
No, the fact that the people who are funding this were at the game and none of this came out until after the test shows you really don't have a f**king clue.
Now piss off, I'm sick of wasting my time with the likes of you who clearly has no idea what so ever.
