@WelshRugbyUnity@Oweninsouts "I agree it’s a huge problem that needs addressing. I don’t know the answer, sorry. This is not my area of expertise, but I am happy to take your views on it, listen, and learn. Ensuring geographic fairness absolutely should form a core part of the WRU's strategy moving forward.
@jenkida@Oweninsouts An independent firm was contracted under the rules of the PRA to execute both financial due diligence & fit and proper person testing on the buyers.
The firm issued a report showing a clean bill of health, which included a liquidity test confirming they had the necessary funding.
@garethlewis1959@brynllorweddol@balders2 Totally agree Gareth, it’s all about the balance and finding the middle ground. I really believe the new Chairman is a great appointment. I just want to go out with my mates to a game and feel the joy again 😊
@garethlewis1959@brynllorweddol@balders2 Thanks Gareth, I do have a few success stories to my name but not in sport. Happy to pick up the Cardiff rugby topic with you. Check out my LinkedIn post on it.
@brynllorweddol@balders2 You are absolutely right on this, I’ve just addressed this exact point on LinkedIn because it’s an important point you raise, take a look 👍
@andygoosemoore@WalesRugby Hell no😜 I’m all about the right people in the right roles and this is not my skillset! This needs true business transformation expertise! I’m more start it from nothing and build it up with entrepreneurial spirit! I’m a bit more crazy than corporate 🙈
@Oweninsouts@CraigosP1 The brand that’s getting damaged is the WRU brand - that is the brand. That’s what everyone is seeing and talking about (that’s my take on it anyway but we all see things differently) Still lots of drama to come! Hold on to your seats 🙈😩 I wonder what today will bring!
@Oweninsouts@CraigosP1 The challenges between the regions have always been a nightmare along with the other steakholder groups. There is no happy ending here, no silver bullet. Just years of pain ahead whatever happens next.
@Oweninsouts@CraigosP1 I think the point refers to the overall WRU brand. A laughing stock on the global stage at all levels. Ultimately it impacts commercial income for all steakholders.
@ConcernedRF@CraigosP1@TheFan886 @DjmComments @DragonFire1059 It’s just the most painful and upsetting car crash! Make it stop😩 car crash - catastrophic failure, a complete breakdown of a situation, or a project that has gone disastrously wrong. It often emphasizes a loss of control and the sudden, public nature of the collapse 🙈
@DjmComments @ConcernedRF@TheFan886@DragonFire1059@CraigosP1 No I’m not. I’m all for the right people in the right roles and it’s not my skillset. I take something from nothing and build it up with entrepreneurial spirit, this role needs more than I can offer.
@lydwray@stephenjones9 Nant Conway Rugby Club. Probably linked more to Zip World and the mess that WRU made of the roof walk (and have still not sorted) but hey-ho, he did actually make it to a game this month 🙈😩⛷️
