Problems looming? Well, we run at a loss (as most clubs do in SL, ours are bigger than some, smaller than others) and don't currently have anybody or anything in place to cover those losses from next year. So, yeah, as things stand, problems are looming.
On the HDM article, it does read a bit like a forum post - a speculative piece about uncertainty.
Whether they've had an indication that contract negotiations will be opened with some players (which would be interesting and seem positive), or are just guessing based on the passing of the anti-tampering deadline (which would be neither), isn't clear. In the absence of quotes, I'll assume the latter. Somebody told me that NH's programme notes said something like the club weren't in a position to be offering contracts (not seen exactly what he said, myself), a couple of weeks or so ago. Until the club's SL future is secure, I'm not sure how we could, realistically. unless they've changed their position slightly, but I can't see that tbh.
