From the Times
Bath captain Charlie Ewels: No player revolt but cuts not fair
on juniors or those in final year
Alex Lowe, Deputy Rugby Correspondent
Monday March 30 2020, 12.00am, The Times
The Bath captain Charlie Ewels insisted his players are not in
revolt against the club — but he has raised two specific issues
over the club’s decision to implement a 25 per cent pay cut that
are reflected across the league.
All Premiership clubs have imposed salary reductions after the
season was postponed until at least April 20. They are now
examining whether to put players on unpaid leave, as Newcastle
Falcons did last week.
Premiership clubs argue they will go bust without taking urgent
action, given they face up to six months without any home
fixtures. Northampton Saints say each game at Franklin’s Gardens
is worth up to £400,000 to them.
Ewels said he supported Bath’s decision to impose the salary
cuts but he had raised concerns over the impact on lower-paid
squad members and those coming to the end of their contracts.
The same issues apply across the league. There is considerable
angst about the way many clubs went about imposing the pay cuts
without any form of consultation with the players, given the
action amounts to a breach of contract.
Players have been seeking advice from RPA. Those not immediately
prepared to accept the pay cuts have been advised to reserve
their rights, which would appear to include those in the
categories outlined by Ewels.
The RPA, which represents over 700 players, is believed to be
trying to seek answers from the clubs.
“We are not in revolt against our club,” Ewels said. “In fact,
it’s quite the opposite, we wish to work with the club through
this extremely challenging time so we can get back to where we
all want to be, playing rugby at the Rec again.
“We play rugby for a living and we understand that if we are not
playing games, then there is no money coming in. It is a
difficult time for everyone at the club, however, we are all on
this journey together.
“We as players understand everything happening across the globe
is having a huge impact, and that impact is reaching far beyond
us. I can say that I 100 per cent support the principle of the
pay cuts, as do the majority of players at the club, believing
they are what is right to guide the club through this tough
period.
“Like players at all other clubs, we have been guided by the
advice of our union the RPA during this hugely uncertain time.
We are seeking answers to some specific questions regarding
players on lower salaries and players coming to the end of their
contracts.
“However, we are discussing these questions openly and
transparently with Stuart [Hooper, director of rugby] and
Tarquin [McDonald, chief executive] and I know we will find the
right answers in due course.”

I think young charlie might have been better to have kept his
mouth shut during a time when a fair portion of the people who
pay for the season tickets and TV subscriptions which pay those
players' wages may have found themselves with no income
whatsoever for the next few months...

Why don’t they go to Bruce Craig direct?
