After reading the full Rob Davies interview on icwales it explains some of the reasons why we can’t compete when our ‘first team’ are unavailable.
£900,000 taken off us without our knowledge and redirected to Llanelli and Cardiff in an act of selfishness by individuals trying to get a foot in above us and the Dragons.
No team could sustain that loss and helps explain why we haven’t recruited as much as was required to play on a level playing field with the others.
My feeling is thank god Rob is fighting our corner or we would have been swallowed up by these self interested so and so’s.
mistakes have been made as explained by Rob but it’s no wonder he must have felt like turning his back on welsh rugby.
Regarding the point raised by Paul my understanding is the way they took money off us was to get us to agree to the ending of NDC's on the understanding finances would be reset and we would all get more. After us agreeing to that on trust which in hindsight was a mistake they then told us money was not there for 4 teams and we should look at 2+2 or3+1 and there needed to be mergers. Again we took this in good faith but soon found out that it was not mergers but takeovers that were in mind. We now need to be very hard nosed and very determined. They use social media, selected journalists and outriders to spread bad news. I am unconvinced the current media operation and off field management at the Ospreys are set up with enough quality to handle this
