[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 234128"] European Club rugby is facing its most serious and dire financial crisis since professionalism began and we're bickering about ring-fencing and club shedding in such a biased and one-eyed way that we all believe it was actually the RFU who caused the global credit crunch and financial melt-down in order to force Bristol and Newcastle into liquidation! This. Is. SERIOUS BUSINESS, guys. [b]Nobody[/b] is safe. All that needs to happen is the Nigel Wrays and Keith Barwells of this world to say "sod it, I haven't got the money to waste any more" and pull out. [i]Every[/i] club in Europe from Sale all the way down to the Italian clubs are currently going over their balance sheets with a fine tooth comb to make sure that 1) they can keep going with their currently financial backing and 2) plan a fiscal escape route if they are left high and dry. Now is not the time to blame Rob Andrews, gentlemen. [/QUOTE]
