Re: Transfers and Rumours Non-Tigers 2019-20
Not sure if this belongs in this thread but if I was an Aussie player I would certainly be looking to move based solely on the way the governing body is acting. Players taking a 60% drop, 1/3 of the staff made redundant, whilst "senior staff are asked to take a pay cut of 5%. One rule for the top and another for everyone else.

From the Sunday Times
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/spor ... -mf2qsfxpf
The four professional rugby teams in Wales are facing a fight for survival with their funding from the Welsh Rugby Union set to drop from £26 million to less than £3 million over the next year.
The Professional Rugby Board, which represents the four regions and the interests of the Welsh national team, held a four-hour meeting last week to consider proposals on how to navigate a way through the financial minefield. The WRU is facing a potential £60 million downturn in its annual income, which was £90.5 million in 2019, with drastic implications in the payments to the regions.
Under the latest projections the money they receive for the 2021 financial year would drop from £26 million to less than £3 million, The Sunday Times understands. Where the Scarlets received about £8.5 million, the Ospreys and Blues £6.5 million and the Dragons £5.5 million, they are now looking at a mere £500,000 each for the next year.
Maybe Holmes and Costelow jumped the gun a bit too quickly.
Wouldn't touch any welsh players outside keeping Reffell though.

In my opinion Costelow had jumped the gun too quickly before the pandemic even began...

Oooer, deep doodoo. Or caci vawr, if you like. All those Pro14 money projections better come true, methinks, or the regions are going the way of Neath.

Humphreys also departing Gloucester! They are also having a high turnover rate.

Sounds like it's all going Pete Tong at Gloucester - first Ackermann, now Humphries and possibly Mostert.

Re: Transfers and Rumours Non-Tigers 2019-20
I always thought that Humphreys time at Gloucester was fragile and that Johan Ackermann probably staved off the inevitable. With Ackermann departing then time to save monies as other clubs are doing.
Next season is going to be a very different structure across the Premiership.
One wonders what Jonny May now feels about the Gloucester move given the salary cuts, the management changes and instability of the club.. Too late to ponder the Tigers offer but the grass is not always greener out there as Owen Williams found out @ Gloucester as he leaves but no confirmation of his new employer in Japan or even Wales.. Is the roof coming off The Shed??

Re: Transfers and Rumours Non-Tigers 2019-20
Certainly seems to be a lack of harmony at Gloucester right now.Next up perhaps will come the departures on the playing side....
These are well trodden pathways , and something seems decidedly not right at Kingsholm.

Hooley signs for Saracens from Bedford.
The beginning of pinching other Championship clubs better players for depth.
Won't be hard with the current situation to sign a lot of top championship players for little.

Wasn't David Humphries the highest paid DoR in the premieship? Seems like that was a huge waste of money!

Re: Transfers and Rumours Non-Tigers 2019-20
Gloucester, I believe, are most certainly in trouble, especially financial. The exodus is not over imo, and I have a gut feeling that there are other internal issues. Not a great place for JM to have moved to maybe.
Re: Transfers and Rumours Non-Tigers 2019-20
Saw a post from Charlie Morgan of the Telegraph last night pointing out that when JM left Gloucester he mentioned the coaching instability as a reason for leaving, then he arrives at Leicester which coincided with our worst period for coaching instability and just as it looks like we may have gotten over it moves back to Gloucester who appear to be going into a new period of coaching instabilityDangerous4 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 2:26 pm Gloucester, I believe, are most certainly in trouble, especially financial.
