According to our fellow iNews, there are discussions going on between the Super League and a mysterious investor. It would be several million pounds, which could have a big impact on the competition.
Robert Elstone, the boss of the Super League, has never hidden his desire to attract new investors and increase the financial means of the European championship. According to the iNews reporter, even if the negotiations are still in their infancy, a meeting would have already taken place with the clubs.
English rugby has already made this kind of deal in December 2018, up to 230 million pounds. What salivate leaders of the Super League, who see each year from players to the NRL or rugby cousin precisely. Larger resources may be able to retain or even attract larger names from Australia.
The investments would also greatly contribute to the marketing and promotion of rugby league. Some stale stages require some small refreshments. The spectator experience outside the match can also be greatly improved, as well as the development of training.
The contract with Sky must be renewed at the end of 2021. Toronto or Toulouse (fingers crossed) could join the competition by then. The timing would be perfect to present a new vision with results and objectives revised upward for the future broadcaster.
The Super League does not want to comment. Nothing has leaked for the moment, but let's hope that the meetings are fruitful. There is always a need for more money, but you have to spend it, but that's another matter.
