[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 719465, member: 55446"] You can't own more than one club (4.2.1 below) thankfully. [url]http://www.englandrugby.com/mm/Document/Governance/Regulations/01/30/34/44/rfu_regulation_4_2013_Neutral.pdf[/url] Financially, Gloucester are (I believe) the second most well-off club in the league, despite being at the salary cap. They are one of few teams to actually generate a profit (that might not be the case this year though). They own their own stadium and host many events (incl. big concerts). People invest in clubs making losses, how much more attractive a proposal if they are breaking even/generating a small profit? On-field success will come again eventually, as long as investment continues, but financial stability like that is hard to find in a sporting team. I just find it remarkable that it costs as much to buy a top-tier rugby club, as it does to buy one fairly decent football player. [/QUOTE]
