The past couple of days has lead me to believe that we escaped from the lunatic asylum that is the EIHL just in the nick of time.
Both Edinburgh and Newcastle have put out press releases intimating that they both need more money, probably pretty sharpish. Scott Neil, the owner of Edinburgh has stated he feels he cannot put anymore money into the club to take it forward, and the Vipers are seemingly not putting enought arses on seats to make ends meet.
The whole situation is begining to resemble the end days of the ISL. If Edinburgh and Newcastle make it to the end of the season (and there are no guarantees they, or indeed any club, will), we will be back in the summer of 2003. The same people will involve themselves in the same petty, ridiculous pissing contests. Fans will be at each others (metaphorical) throats, and the game as a whole will lose out.
It's deja-vu all over again......

It'll be a crying shame if this happens again. It really is time for one unified league that benefits the majoirty of clubs rather than the biggest trying to drag everyone to their level.
