[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 873282, member: 40658"] IMHO, I think it should be in neither SARU, nor EPRU's control. The Kings are a franchise, and if it was me, I'd have a private group/conglomerate control it. It's not like the Kings are bound the EPRU in any case, and could easily move to another city/town with a stadium. The only reason why EPRU wants control is because the Kings are using the stadium to host their matches. The EPRU doesn't have contracts with the Kings players, actually, most of the current Kings squad aren't EPRU players. The Blue Bulls, Sharks, Lions and WP all loaned some of their players to the Kings, while the other players, have contracts with SARU. I think SARU should still be in charge of the player contracts, with the hope that we could get centralised contracts system for all the teams and players in SA. But that the franchise be run properly by both business savvy people and rugby administrators. The issue I have with the EPRU is that they have a very poor track record. And the Kings are basically SARU's new baby, it makes no sense to give your baby back to a delinquent when it was taken away from them in the first place. [/QUOTE]
