Outlook section
There is a general consensus among the majority of Ulster fans that this shedding of players is to build a pot of cash to go out and spend next season bringing in top quality NIQs. Can you please educate and point them to the Treasurers report, specifically the paragraph above. This shedding is to bring about break-even.During the year considerable time was devoted to identifying additional sources of income and cost efficiencies by the senior management team and their associated committees. This work, over a number of months, has resulted in a budget 2018/19 at break-even despite lower season ticket sales forecast which has meant reductions in player budgets at a time when our central Irish contracts has been reduced to two. However, good recruitment and continued development of local talent make for a more positive outlook for the professional team than might otherwise have been expected.
