Club's don't want or need the gloss. They want the cold hard facts, ie "show me the money" that supports this deal. They also need to see the built in security and where the risk lies. From the little that is out there, the risk seems to be to the clubs themselves and not Lucid. It appears to be built on a potential TV deal. But we all know, like Setanta, such deals can disappear very quickly and then who is left holding the can.
Expect lots more PR spin in the coming weeks in the lead up to the 24th October presentation, with the press regurgitating press releases without doing any investigative journalism on them and more pr videos.
