If my salary was that low (comparatively speaking!),and since I am an educated man, wouldn’t you think I might be a teeny bit suspicious if I was given some extra dosh to make it up to par? I just wish my old boss had made up my salary by chipping in when I wanted to buy a house. Or that he might ha...

EG worked for Middlesex Cricket Club after leaving Saracens, and is accused of acting as an unregistered players agent, against ECB rules. (Now back at Saracens).

Good post, Traveller.

From The Telegraph, Friday 5.17pm Saracens players have been told the club will accept a further 35-point deduction that will effectively spell relegation from the Premiership. The English and European champions were deducted 35 points and fined £5.4 million having been in breach of Premiership Rugb...

its been proven that currently, no English side can compete in Europe without cheating the cap. Exeter have a chance to progress this year, but I suspect few imagine they can win (hope I am wrong) It’s rather more complicated than that! There is no « proof », and I have seen no proper correlation b...

Today’s Telegraph: Saracens players have been called to a crisis meeting on Friday morning amid reports that the club are on the verge of automatic relegation from the Gallagher Premiership at the end of the season. Executives from the Premiership clubs met on Tuesday, when the reigning domestic cha...

I’ve managed to copy the article Time to stop the talk and end rugby’s language bias stuart barnes Shaun Edwards is locking himself in a room and learning French. Enough to communicate with the 42-man squad selected for the imminent Six Nations. The new France defence coach will not need to browse F...

One of the comments made by Stuart Barnes was that Carley never stopped talking. This disadvantages any player whose first language is not English. Even those who speak some English have to check their understanding, which may only take half a second, but that is long enough to give away an advantag...

This is an article from The Times by S Barnes commenting on Matthew Carley’s performance at the weekend, who gave a running commentary during the game in English? Would this be fair in a Wales v Italy match if the players of only one side understands the language (English)? What if Italian refs only...

The only way I can see disclosure of the panel’s findings happening is if the newly humble Saracens ask for the report to be published. At present it can only be read, and not copied, photographed or have notes taken, by a representative of each club, nominally the chief executive, and the person re...

Keep those chisels sharp!

Thank you, and good luck for your new life.

All in favour of the advertising space being donated to Matt.

The Sarries fine is probably needed elsewhere to secure the clubs finances, regretfully!

According to an article in today’s Guardian, it seems that the players who participated in the joint business ventures may have been paid less than their worth as salary. If they lose that « business » advantage, they will want to be paid at the going rate, and that is why space needs to be made for...
