It is predicated on a number of key principles: At most sports clubs, legal ownership is in the hands small number of investors, but supporters are the moral owners of clubs...

The Welsh Rugby Union are actively trying to run the regions into the ground in order to exert more central control and eventually take over their running. There, it’s been said.
