[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 897599, member: 74121"] Dodson is a strange one. A hard nosed businessman without a shred of sentiment. Bizarre quote about refusing to accept they operate in a country of 5 million which puts into context the zeal with which he pursues players raised by other unions. But I do think overall he is highly competent and his ideas are usually sensible. In terms of a stake in an English club he could argue that if this was permitted then the players the SRU poach would at least still stay in the AP. But yes, I'd imagine the SRU are the last organisation the English union would want to do a favour for. Worth noting that the Scottish made a lot of noise about expanding into the Us previously and here Dodson is essentially saying that there are no firm plans there in the short term. So just because he says he wants to get involved in England is no indicator that there is any remotely willing partner. [/QUOTE]
