winchester_royal ^Yep ta for that Zac, exactly what I've been trying to say. Anton has always said it would be a continuation of what went on before, RFC would be run with business principles, but with perhaps a little more ambition. As far as I can tell, that is exactly what has gone on so far. Yes the summer window wasn't what we hoped it would be, but if you look at the deadwood we have in the squad on big money, it's hardly surprising that we weren't willing to hand out plenty more 30k a week contracts.
There may well be issues regarding the full takeover, but for now the club is running at a higher cost, and with more ambition, than it ever has done before. Quite what people find cause to worry/moan/strop about is lost on me.
More ambition?
This is a very easy word to say but a very difficult thing to fulfil.
Just because Anton and JM have used the word a lot in recent years doesn't mean that the club is genuinely ambitious-it just means that they have used the word a lot and (possibly in your naivety) you believe them.
