I honestly wonder how some of you make these daft assertions.
Several Rugby Union clubs are currently facing serious financial difficulties.
The clubs in bother include:
Worcester: The first club placed into administration back in September, Worcester’s future is still uncertain despite being taken over by Jim O’Toole’s Atlas Group.
London Irish: The club is teetering on the brink of financial collapse.
Leicester: The club has very shaky financial foundations.
Exeter Chiefs: The club has a total debt of £13m.
Gloucester: The club has a total debt of £27m.
Simply, not enough paying customers have bought into big time Rugby Union.
