Scottish Rugby Union favourites to buy Worcester Warriors - reports

The Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) are now favourites to buy the financially challenged Worcester Warriors – according to reports.

The Premiership outfit has well documented financial difficulties and has been on the market for several months. Over the weekend the Rugby Paper reported that deal on the table from the previous favourite to buy the club – businessman Jed McCrory – has fallen through.

The Worcester News is reporting that the SRU, who previously expressed an interest in investing in the club, has now emerged as favourite to take over.

The move would mean that the SRU would have access to the Aviva Premiership as an option for players to play outside of Scotland but remain under control of the union, effectively giving them a third fully professional team.

The SRU are in an unprecedented financial position, having posted record revenues in the 2016/17 season. The union posted revenues of over £50 million for the first time in its history. In contrast, Worcester Warriors are struggling on and off the pitch.

In early November Worcester Warriors released a statement in response to media reports that suggested the club’s location might be changed if it were to be sold.

“The Warriors Board can confirm that Sixways Holdings Limited would not consider selling the Club to investors who would move it away from Worcester.

“Despite reports in the media, Sixways Holdings Limited is clear in its intentions to ensure new investors keep the Club at its Sixways base.

“A condition of any sale would state that the Club must remain in Worcester.”

Warriors Chairman Bill Bolsover said: “Last week I was able to reassure supporters that it was highly unlikely that a new owner would relocate the Club.

“I can now confirm that selling the Club to investors who might want to move it away from Worcester is not something that Sixways Holdings Limited would consider.

“The West Midlands is the prime location for the Club to continue to engage and grow what is already a strong support-base in the area.

“Sixways Holdings Limited has invested significantly in the current facilities and will not risk the future stability of the Club by allowing it to be moved to another part of the country.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
