[QUOTE="Tony Manx, post: 587421, member: 50236"] Serge has got no money....well, he has but he is not putting it into BO nor seemingly accepting anyone else's apart from the minicipality's!! In any case, they would spend it unwisely..... I love your description as BO as "ordinary".............if only!! I cannot believe that you see 8/9 sides in with shout of actually winning this season even after the abberation of Castres's win last season...... I cannot look past ASM/Toulon and Racing with Toulouse/Montpellier/Stade coming close! No one else has the necessary squad depth and/or management to go all the way and we may just have seen the last of the small town clubs winning the Brennau in this era of money driven teams..............which is not to say that is a bad thing, just the way it is!! Interestingly, was talking to a mate at the match yesterday who is French, although Parisienne, and lives locally. He agrees that for Bayonne and BO there is only one answer to retain long term Top 14 status and that is "Fusion".............he tells me that everyone he talks to that is opposed to such a merger whilst retaining the amateur side of the clubs as seperate entities, when asked, admit they do not even attend matches!!
