[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 1003384, member: 70871"] The real issue for the FFR is can they afford to have any of the bigger pro clubs go under. This is a possibility if the mismanagement by the government of the pandemic is set to continue in this country. If by the start of next year crowds are not back some Top 14 and ProD2 will eventually go under. Clubs backed by wealthy benefactors are the exception not the norm like Montpellier, Stade Français, Racing. The government will have to step in to support pro clubs or they'll go bust. According to Toulouse president Didier Lacroix the club's survival is at stake beyond the first semester of 2021 if crowds are not allowed back. More wage cuts won't be enough. Most clubs can't survive very long with the current limitation to 5K fans. [/QUOTE]
