       This is the end for Worcester I would say. Also in rugby paper,
       the other 12 wanted to get rid of bye weeks except one team….
       Saracens as they have a bye week first they said they were not
       prepared for the season.
       This means potentially 4 bye weeks this year.

       Not sure you can open it, but says in the article Kyle Hatherell
       has already left to join a top 14 club.

       I'm surprised that the clubs were wanting to re-do the fixture
       list is this happens. Better to have the extra bye weeks to help
       manage player injury/recovery during the season (which is
       already shortened because of the early finish to accommodate the
       RWC preparations).

       You still play the same number of matches, if you rearrange,
       everyone gets the same two weeks off.

       Really got to feel for Wuss supporters - that looks bleak.

       I feel for their fans, I'm sure that in any ending there will be
       a "Worcester" rugby club which will be supported, will it be in
       the premiership or championship, doubt it.
       What really will be interesting where PR and the RFU stand on
       this, they let Welsh go to the wall so I expect no assistance
       for Worcester or they may face some "double standards/integrity"
       questions which they won't want.
       Maybe a chance to re-draw professional rugby in England to a
       more sustainable footing.

       Well the supporters have not moved house from Newcastle and
       moved their family with a mortgage to pay and no salary. It is
       the staff I feel sorry for and Nick Easter in particular. Also
       very angry with owners

       Without sounding very uncaring, businesses go to the wall
       everyday and people are left out if pocket, even happened to
       myself once.
       It's a risk with any job, personally if I were going to be
       relocating I would be doing my own due diligence into the
       business I was joining, Worcester's accounts and fiscal position
       has been know to be tight for years before COVID, if you follow
       the golden carrot you can't expect not to be hit with the stick
       at some point.
       It all just highlights how unsustainable professional rugby is
       in England without a very wealthy owner who can stand to lose
       millions every year to shore up the club.
       Wholesale changes are needed and soon.
