This is why the Celery Cap is still needed. Without that in
place, you'd find the teams that rely more on the PGA fees will
struggle to attract players, while those backed by one or two
wealthy owners (Bath are a prime example) simply spending their
way to gain titles.

surely it's only sarries that model has worked for so far, I
certainly wouldn't use Barf as an example.

Not with the celery cap in place, no. However, imagine B Craig
unfettered by the cap & willing to spend double or even triple
to key players. Given how short a playing career is, it's hard
to imagine many turning down the lure of inflated salaries like
that. Alternatively, he could decide instead to have a squad
that's a lot larger, hovering up talent from overseas/other Prem
sides/etc meaning his players play less (but for the same
money), have longer recovery times etc. We only have to look at
Roundball to see how (with the occasional exception of the likes
of Leicester City in 2015/16) the top spots are basically the
same clubs (the richest ones) year after year.

Utterly appalling mess that the RFU are now having to make 62
redundancies that have come about as a result of the reckless
spending on management salaries (Eddie Jones) and even the
amount England players are paid to represent England (£20,000 a
game).

I presume you're joking, as it's the miscalculation of the cost
of the refurbed east stand that has seen them tighten their
belts. Also, that article seems a bit behind the times, because
as far as I know the redundancies have been implemented already,
and at least one of my friends is already out on her ear.

QP, while I'm sure you're right that Eddie's salary and players'
match fees aren't breaking the bank, how do you know that cost
overruns on the east stand redevelopment are to blame?

It's apparetnly now cost £80m on a £50m budget, I'd say that
would have a pretty big impact!

Not saying it isn't true, Rocker, but can you point me to more
information? I seem to have missed this entirely (was listening
to Flamenco and drinking cava when the story broke).
Here -- for anyone interested -- are the RFU accounts for the
year to June 2017.

Edit: just found this on Mail Online: extra £10m for bomb
proofing ...
