[QUOTE="Booboobang, post: 1153059, member: 86230"] This doesnt need to be this difficult. France have literally shown the model for making a rugby pyramid work in a sustainable manner that drives investment to lower levels as well as top tier, but then that requires prem clubs to give up a portion for the good of the game wich I dont see happening. If you arent going to do that the only other option is franchising, completly ring fence the game. What doesnt work is this current system where you have a franchise model in the premiership in all but name where rich owners prop up the league, that is now ring fenced, but then pretending there is still a feasible pyramid underneath it. Nothing Sweeney has said actualy addresses any problems, just more continuing on this road where clubs wil go under at any time unless they have a backer. Strategy for growing revenue like collective bargaining? No thats up to the clubs. Financial support with coupled business support to push towards a sustainable business model? No go bust, not an RFU problem. The more teams go bust the more regions of england that will become disenfranchised, wont focus on rugby and the game continues to shrink. [/QUOTE]
