Am guessing that as Jillings is Duncan Saville's representative
that maybe Saville wants more attention paid to how the money
goes in and out and less attention on grandiose schemes for new
stadia.

Saville will be hugely involved in decisions relating to the
stadium. To think otherwise seems bizarre to me.

5 out, only 1 in! Perhaps more to be announced? Seems strange
for Fitzpatrick to go because of the NZ "arrangement ".

Picked up by the Times. I don't have a subscription so can only
read the first couple of paragraphs below.

The co-owner of Harlequins, who resigned as chairman after the
Bloodgate scandal, has returned to the board as the club push
ahead with plans to build a 30,000-capacity stadium.
Charles Jillings has been reappointed as director to play a more
hands-on role in the £50 million stadium project, which
Harlequins hope to have completed by 2021. Five directors,
including Sean Fitzpatrick, the former All Blacks captain, have
stood down in a boardroom restructure

Here's the full article. It's a News Digest piece, so there's
some non-Quins stuff later on...

>
> Jillings resigned as chairman and director of Harlequins in
August 2009 after accepting responsibility for Bloodgate.
“Ultimately this happened under my watch and the failure to
control must fall at my door,” he said at the time.
>
> The Bloodgate scandal erupted when the Harlequins wing Tom
Williams used a blood capsule, bought from a joke shop in
Clapham Junction, to fake an injury in a Heineken Cup
quarter-final against Leinster, under the instruction of Dean
Richards, then the director of rugby.
>
> Williams revealed that Jillings had offered him a compensation
package during a meeting in which he suggested that the player
make limited disclosure in his appeal against a 12-month ban.
Williams went on to reveal all.
>
> In his resignation statement, Jillings said that the financial
proposal to Williams had not been intended as a “reward for
silence” but acknowledged it could have been interpreted that
way.
>
> Jillings continued as co-owner of the club along with Duncan
Saville and they are working on securing funding for the
community stadium, which will be built on the site of the
Twickenham Stoop.
>
> The club said that the other governance changes were made
because a more streamlined board was required for the
fortnightly stadium meetings. Fitzpatrick, Andy Mullins, a
former Harlequins player, Mark Spelman, Trevor Saving and Paul
Brewer have resigned. Fitzpatrick will remain involved with the
club.
>
> On a day when serious injuries to Marland Yarde and Taulupe
Faletau were confirmed, England received a boost with the news
that Jonny May’s shoulder problem was minor and he may be fit to
play for Leicester Tigers away to Ulster in the Champions Cup on
Saturday. May was forced to use his shirt as a sling when he
left the field against Northampton Saints four days ago but
scans revealed that he did not suffer any structural damage.
>
> Yarde, however, who has scored three tries in six games for
Sale Sharks this season, is facing at least six months out. It
was confirmed that he had not only suffered a dislocated knee
during Sale’s 20-7 victory over Newcastle Falcons but also
medial and anterior cruciate ligament damage, which will reduce
his chances of featuring for England at next year’s World Cup.
>
> Faletau is in danger of missing Wales’s autumn campaign with a
broken arm. The Bath No 8 was injured while attempting to tackle
Jack Nowell during his side’s Premiership defeat by Exeter
Chiefs last Friday. Wales will take on Scotland, Australia,
Tonga and South Africa on consecutive weekends next month and
Faletau’s injury could open the way for Ross Moriarty to return
to No 8 for Wales.
>
> Simon Halliday, the chief executive of European Professional
Club Rugby (EPCR), has called for greater consistency among
referees during the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup this season.
Joël Jutge, the referees manager for EPCR, has met the officials
and broadcasters to try to ensure the interpretations are
standard.
>
> “There has been a notable variation in the way things are
being adjudicated [in different countries],” Halliday said.
“Joël Jutge had all the top referees together, asking them, ‘Was
that a yellow or red card? What would you have done there?’
Everyone is on the same page. We can’t afford to have grey
areas. We have to make sure there is consistency and fairness.”
Jutge has also been educating pundits.

"Fitzpatrick will remain involved with the club" it says.
What does that mean?
