Both this set of bids and the Wasps one are subject to the RFU/players representatives accepting that there is a sound business plan going forwards, I have seen it written that 3 years worth of future funding is required, seems the RFU have learnt from the past at long last.

Strong rebuke all round but how long for government committee report to appear and with what clout?

I saw something earlier that I think the exclusivity of the O'Toole consortium ends today, which may reopen the door for the likes of Diamond.

Lot of rebuking of that on social media today. Worcester would be mad to do it, why invite the cuckoo into your nest.

Swiftly followed by one of the heads of the new Worcester bit accusing the RFU of untruth's...

Definitely a falling out between the parties... too late for the administrators to switch to Diamond's bid?
