Real worry

@MiketheSnow Agree mate, I take no pleasure in all at reading this, and really hope we not seeing tip of iceberg. Wasps are also in the position of not really being a community based club, so will struggle to have lower grade amateurs to keep club alive.

@Dan54 No sympathies from me. They should live within their budgets like everyone should. In addition they received a massive payout from some outfit that brought a chunk of something to do with their Premiership a year or two back that was supposed to be the panacea to all the financial problems overzealous and overspending owners had indulged in.
Guess the owners of the television rights will now be withholding a decent chunk of money now the sellers of those rights are unable to supply the number of matches for telecasting they contracted to do? -

And as a rugby man, I don't want these things happening to any clubs. There are reports some clubs in MLR are struggling a bit too.

Sin-Bin 'Power Play' proposed by RFU along with other huge reforms to the domestic game | Rugbydump
The Rugby Football Union has set out its plans for a brand new Premiership and Championship cup competition which will include a raft of new rules.
One of the key individuals behind the plans is RFU director of performance, Conor O’Shea, who also outlined changes to the game which will be trailaed during the competion. It is unclear how the majority of these adaptions will be achived pratically, but O’Shea noted the following reforms:
- Incentivising tries scored from outside the opposition’s 22
- Reducing the amount of kick-tennis”
- Reducing the time wasted by reset scrums
- A sin-bin ‘Power Play’
The last point is of particular note – once a game the opposing team captain will be able to chose a player to spend 10 minutes in the sin bin. The captain can choose when to use this but will have the power to reduce their opponents to 14 men, without them being sent off by the ref. Quite the radical proposal!
There's also an article in the Telegraph about this, but it's pay-walled, so I don't know whether there's more info.

Oh just fuck off
There’s a dozen things they can do to improve the game before even proposing this asshattery
