It's not as simple as that MillerBill. Footballers are on PAYE or at least they used to be unless it's changed over the years. The extra £2m would be swallowed up when RUFC have to pay HMRC.
Then there's National Insurance to factor in. As I said on an earlier thread / post not everything is black and white.
