Rugby Football Union: Beaumont warns against the rebellious vote
The Rugby football union would have slipped in months of “Rancor and Disruption” in the event of a rebellious motion to ignore the managing director Bill Sweeney Thursday, he warned the president at Interim Bill Beaumont.
A club collective, led by those of the second level championship, forced a referendum on Sweeney’s leadership.
They claim that the organization has lost contact with the basic game, highlighting Sweeney’s salary, which has increased significantly Thanks to an increase in wages and a bonus scheme in a moment of record losses of RFU.
The RFU has presented a rival motion, which promises to decentralize the decision -making process and reconstruct regional support and financing for clubs.
The former England captain Beaumont has accused those who tried to deposit Sweeney of having managed a campaign that had sometimes been, sometimes, deeply deplorable, with demonstrating statements demonstrating, in particular around the finance of the game “.
“Everything that takes place publicly has diminished by so many brilliant things that happen in English rugby: from the incredible work of the volunteers who manage our basic game, to the strong six male nations and now focus on our red roses while they are based on a home world cup”, he added.
However, the entire union of game, which coordinated the rebellion, has blamed the upheaval on the managers of the RFU.
“The rancor and interruption of the game were caused only by their intransigence and reluctance to listen and listen to the problems raised for several years by participants, members of members and referees companies,” he said.
“This vote for change asks the Board of Directors to remove our CEO through a managed process.”
