[QUOTE="barthelemy, post: 766970, member: 56370"] Will be a bit more difficult for the FFR as they do not have as much money as RFU (They do not have a Twickenham bringing Almost 40% of the yearly incomes) but I guess this is not impossible. Still I agree with your last bit, For countries like France or England it would be very difficult to go over the head of the clubs for a lot of reasons (Fans, Grounds, Money etc..). It would be even a bit stupid I think. This is why I think that the proposal of Snoopy is good. It is trying to create a European competition (targeting on the long run a Super Rugby like competition) integrating the existing clubs in France and England. Now, to do this, we need to put around the same table Clubs, Unions, Franchises, sponsors and partners that would be participate in this new competition. I have no clue if there had already been some serious talk about something like this in the past in Europe. In my perspective, one of the first thing is that unions, clubs or other Franchises need to be reassured that the new competition will bring at least as much as they earn today in terms of sponsors and partners income Then RFU and FFR need to find an agreement with the clubs to take onboard a significant part of the players salary (contracting players properly in agreement with clubs) as the goal is also for them to have the players much more often along the years, assuming that Clubs/Franchises would play less matches with this new competition format. I honestly think that if we could create the environment to fulfill these conditions, we could create a positive move towards some deeper changes in the European rugby. Dream on ! :p [/QUOTE]
