The RFU in my view, should prevent fraudsters taking over in the first place.
But back to the book - the key part is that RFU representatives visited on two occasions according to Backy, and yet left both times and did nothing. What was the point in visiting in the first place? If people weren't being paid then surely the RFU should have intervened?
Instead, their only action was to demote the club down to the ninth tier, when it wasn't the club's fault.
And as you rightly say, Aland gets away with all of it, and frighteningly, he could in theory go back in to rugby if he wanted to. The London Welsh case and Backy publishing the book should go some way to stopping Aland, and hopefully other fraudsters from taking rugby the way of football.
