New Salary Cap Breach?

[Old Hob]

As has been pointed out on Twitter we are currently advertising for a "management account"

As they say it's all about timing...

More distressing is advertising for people on zero hour contracts and minimum wage !

Best time to start, investigation ongoing, anything irregular should be found & pointed out, can't be blamed for anything prior to you that you miss and then crops up, shouldn't be any surprises for the new incumbent and a clean slate to start with

Doesn't necessarily send a good message to those investigating right now though, as you say, timing

Dont forget that there were staff made redundant last year so this could well be a position available as things start to look brighter.

From a recruitment point of view the timing is perfect, the ‘organic’ reach of that role will be enormous!

Just out of interest who is "The Head of Finance" as we don't show a CFO on the BOD, since the departure of Ian Walker

[TigerXV]

Finton Kennedy is Non Exec who has been looking after finances since he joined - my guess is this is the main reason now (hopefully) finances are back on an even keel that they feel confident enough to add a Management Accountant to the team so he can can step back from day to day accounts

Do we have any realistic expectations as to when the current investigation will be concluded? Had read that any charge would have to be levied by June at the latest to fall within the 5yr window.

Find it odd/reassuring/unnerving that there was so much noise when the story broke, and now relative silence. With Sarries, the Daily Mail were running almost daily updates; although I know that they were instrumental in the investigation and thus probably wanted to remain close to ensure they got the ‘glory’ of the exclusive.

The Sarries investigation took close to a year, I think. If this is a situation where Tigers are holding their hands up and showing that they are now playing within the rules rather than trying to pretend it never happened, then perhaps this one will be far quicker.

Thing is where ours is relative to theirs is completely different. They are still investigating if anything is wrong and we haven't been charged with any breaches.

The June deadline is only for 5 seasons ago (if that is a/the season affected)

Our story coming out has all the hallmarks of the fact that now they can check players accounts the investigation may involve ex-players or other ex-employees who are angry at the club and frustrated at our current success so have leaked the fact they have been interviewed. Until charges are laid it is MEANT to be confidential.

What will be will be.............we cannot predict what is being investigated, what the outcome is likely to be or even if charges are going to be brought. Difficult to put an end date on any investigations (in any surrounding) as it is all dependent upon what trails are found and whether they need to go deeper. Just have to be patient and get behind the team on the pitch.

They will probably keep digging until they find something otherwise t looks bad on them

Not sure why so many people think this is all because of one or more disgruntled ex players. The fact is that HMRC have been conducting investigation, so surely the most likely reason for the current investigation into us is because of that?

Fair enough someone may have leaked it to the press, but i'd be suprised if an ex player has grassed us up to the salary cap manager about something that could find them in the :censored: as well.

I'd also be suprised if we were the last club to be investigated for this sort of thing.....

Agreed, we need to keep a lid on the paranoia! Ex-players may not want it investigated any more than we do, I do wonder if the club released the statement last week to take the sting out of it though?

Possibly forced to make a statement, being a PLC as it is information that could affect share prices.

For me, the idea that any potential breach should (and surely legally?) remain fully confidential until a charge is issued suggests to me that the initial leak to the press has to have come from an individual rather than from a professional and confidential body, such as HMRC.
