Championship &RFU

[Harley1850]

See that the championship have expressed a vote of no confidence in the RFU following demise of The Jersey Reds

Statement by the English Championship Rugby clubs https://www.coventryrugby.co.uk/stateme ... gby-clubs/

This is the second such rebellion against the RFU, Will Carling hit the nail on the head over a decade ago, the RFU in it's present form is a dinosaur not fit for purpose.

Given Sweeneys attitude to everything, including his nasty refusal to sopport PI teams with decent money when playing England, it's time for heads to roll. I'm surprised a rich person or three haven't tried to do a Packer and prise the reins away from Twickers.

Don’t think getting Simon Cohen involved is the greatest idea but that’s just me

Depends on what sort of experience you’re looking for and what exactly they want him to do

It would not surprise me if they went hunting for Andrea if Sweeney did go....

This has been a concern that I have voiced before. She has done such a great job turning Tigers around that she must be on a shortlist if Sweeney gets the chop.

[GB72]

Looks like Sweeney is lining the Prem clubs up for come blame sharing. The funding for the Championship will not be decided until the deal is done with the Premiership. So, if we negotiate a strong deal, the blame will be firmly placed on the 'greedy' Prem clubs for any shortfall in Championship funding.

Well, under his tenure as COO and CEO we did go from a 16800 stadium to a 26000 one.

I'm not sure why you think the emoji is relevant. Covid might have pushed the club close to the brink, but he knew what was coming to the other clubs well before. I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say, unless you're just doing the lazy take. If he was that bad, why would the club have ensured he take 18 months (IIRC) "gardening leave" after he left?
