It’s what happens when you let in a bunch of money men to run rings around the amateurs running the game.
You lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

@Catogrande Really shitty to see what has happened to both Wasps and London Irish. I remember them both as successful and happy West London clubs before the money sharks jumped in.
