    Rumour coming out of the U.K.!

    Has anyone else heard a buzz that a UK rugby club is considering buying a controlling interest in the Force?
    No name or rumour confirmed but both Wasps and Sarries were mentioned.
    I heard this from a contact who said someone had told his mate ........etc

    No, you've got it wrong,SNOB.

    It's the Palmyra club, which is awash with money which has put in a bid for the Force, backed by business interests.

    The offer is under consideration, but a stumbling block appears to be Palmyra's demand for 23 dispensations for Force players to play for Palmyra without being qualified for the finals.

    Apparently Palmyra want to beef up their fourth grade...

    Kind of - the stumbling block was fourth grade sent the players back.

    Aren't Sarries in dire financial straights? Earlier in the year they were supposed to be the rugby club with the highest debt in the world.

    I suppose that would be Sinderrys fault then!😉
    I've put out a few feelers with some other rugby mates in the uk to see if they've heard anything.

    I've heard that certain club luminaries are hijacking any threads they can get their maulers on in an attempt to preempt any shonkies in this years finals.

    Good luck with that.

    You could be on the money Shasta.

    I wonder why they would feel constrained to do that?

    Maybe Sinders has been contacting some of his UK contacts to offer them a deal!
