I'm 90% happy with that statement from a Scarlets PoV... the 'terms our supporters would be happy with' are not spelled out, so there's an element of doubt there.
I have no idea what 'heads of terms' are - some legal formula, presumably? Maybe someone can explain that one... This is the clearest statement of where things stand ATM: "...we were told at the start of that meeting that the Ospreys had changed their mind. The merger is off the table." That's the O's choice, for whatever reason. I want them - and our derby rivalries - to survive, and would MUCH prefer to see the WRU-owned Dragons shipped off to N Wales. If the Os and the WRU play silly bugg**s and that leads to the demise of the Os, it would be much regretted, but their choice. In the meantime, this comes at a very tricky time, with Wales in line for a Grand Slam - terrible timing! |

Well, it's been an interesting few days. Glad that the 'merger' is a dead duck. Hope this settles things down as far as our players are concerned. I think the Ospreys will have some serious internal issues to sort out and the WRU will have some awkward questions to answer regarding their role in all this - especially in regard to RGC and Newport.

Seems like the Ospreys are responsible for a lot of nonsense recently.
I’d still be open to a pure takeover, tbh. We’d be a Champions Cup challenging team. |

Look forward to watching Rugby Gogledd Georgia on Priemer Sport in the Autumn instead of the Sprays then- so long as they don't play in English colours.

Basically a non binding set of guidelines that surround the sale/takeover or merger of entities.

Thank you - so, nothing to prevent the Os changing their minds, then. (As I said before, I'd prefer to send the Drags up to Gog-land than the Ospreys!)

Our statement, along with the PRB's, leaves the Ospreys with a lot of explaining to do.
This time, without coming across as bitter.

It was a takeover make no mistake. A merger even somewhere around 70:30 Ospreys would of bitten our hands off.

Its very thin on detail , names, where wed play ALL games, colours, names etc heads of terms is some kind of legal term for a proposed agreement.. Im staggered they not only considered it but how quickly it seemed to get agreed and how they actually thought fans of the regions would have been happy with it? not to forget losing our rivalry, local derby matches and perhaps half our home games?

There's no need to release the whole detail as it won't serve anyone well. For example they (Ospreys) won't want their fans knowing the ins & outs of what they were willing to give up as they still need their support for whatever is coming. I have faith that our board will have had our best interests are the forefront of any negotiations.

Ive no idea , its very vague...why dont the scarlets simply state where wed have played ALL our games , colours names etc Do you really think ospreys would have allowed all games to be played in Llanelli? Their fans would have disappeared

I disagree. basic info about where wed play what wed be called colours etc is absolutely critical.
