[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 111444"] Both the RFU [b]AND[/b] the Clubs are power hungry *****. Both want to control every aspect of the game and profit from it, neither wants to relinquish the control that they have. Both want to make as much cash as possible but neither wants to make a financial concession in order to ensure the security of the future of the game. In short, they are as bad as each other, the threat of court cases hasn't swayed Club or Country, the threat of European meltdown hasn't swayed Club or Country (Shtove take notice). I doubt that even the threat of the players coming out on strike would force the Baron and the Rugby oligarchs to an agreement! The only way that this could be resolved was if say, the European Union or the British government [i]imposed[/i] a solution on them. And even then, the RFU or the Clubs would fight every step of the way all the way to the European Courts of Justice! Dittos GOML, I'm backing the players on this. Neither the RFU or the clubs get any sympathy from me. [/QUOTE]
