Leigh Leopards • Is the rebrand in order to sell on as a franchise?
Reading the above article got me thinking about the long term plans of DB, after all he is a business man and sentiment is a vulgar word when there's a lot of money to be made. As he has already shown by trying to get rid of the cherry and white team colours.
As DB himself says, it doesn't matter where a successful team resides in the country, it's the brand that matters. My belief is that DB will pump money into Leigh to buy success and then he will sell it on as a franchise that could be set up anywhere in Britain. They will be known as the Leopards and could be playing in Edinburgh, Dublin, Cardiff or wherever. He's looking at the bigger IMG picture. He knows they want big city clubs and he can make a lot of money by selling a ready made franchise. The future looks bright for Leigh in the short term but I don't believe the long term future of the Leopards will be playing in Leigh. I fear for a local playing Leigh team if DBs long term plans come to fruition.
