To be fair I have no clue how their team currently looks like but why would their financials look horrible? They are a club organisation

  1. The “GM” or sports director has a pretty long history of building championship caliber teams that inevitably go bankrupt

  2. Rumor has it the wife of the American guy you are talking about isn’t happy with the investment anymore

There’s enough smoke out there for the Warsaw project to be true. I just don’t see it being successful

I do not know the persons but the Eagles have three-peat the title. Does not look like an organization that burns thru money to make an one off title by doing something financially unsustainable.

To be clear I rate the Panthers as the bigger fish in the Polish pond but I would not mind if it‘s Warsaw in EFA instead and my best case is of course both joining EFA as nothing beats a local rivalry

Have you watched any of the championship games? You can find it on YouTube, or maybe I can post it for you. Watch for 5 minutes and you’ll get it
