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!)


Exactly right my friend.

The WRU could easily look at merging dragons / RGC....They hold all the cards and they also have the WAG money on offer for RGC. Whether the whole £12 million would still be available if its a merged north wales region is moot point

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.

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


The heads of terms would have, in all probability, had these details however seeing as the move was called off by the Ospreys they won't be released to the public unless it is leaked or someone says "this was the plan"....

As the merger/takeover isn't happening then there is no need for the fans etc to know about it.

Lets hope the fans find out as that information is critical. especially if this nightmare scenario ever rears its head again

That's fair enough - as it's not happening (ATM anyway), no real need to know about it.

As someone said on another thread, there would have been a confidentiality clause both Os and us signed re the Heads of Agreement and if any of our lot blurted out the details then the Os Board would no doubt pursue legal action. So we will just have to trust our Board (which I do) until such time as the details get leaked out (which they will do I'm sure)

The word merger would have seen a lot of supporters peed of and refuse to attend, if it was announced as a takeover then maybe it would have been different. It over with now hopefully, lets just concentrate on reaching 2nd and getting a home QF in the Pro 14.

Its not over unfortunately in the sense that we are not any further forward with the project reset. Even if the new Os chairman has had a change of heart about funding the Os and they are secure for the next few seasons (about as long as any of the regions can guarantee to still be going), they have upset so many people that there are bound to be further delays. Incidentally they will also have upset all their trading partners, the sponsors, the stadium owner, everybody.

And these delays are beginning to get critical now-re-signing players, new commercial deals etc. So the next PRG meeting could be a bit strained to say the least.

The other regions have also had their plans put on hold and potential players have left because this isnt sorted. We need Jonny M and a few others to sign otherwise we are stuck.

Its not critical is it? It is not happening. If we had agreed to give away games to Swansea, and it has already been released that one of the Ospreys major issues is the rental of the Liberty making this very unlikely and that we had agreed to dilute/half the brand Ospreys would of bitten our hand off. Please realise that as an entity they are in serious serious trouble. We held all the leverage here and it would of been used.

This situation is chaotic enough without the Fail sticking their ore in!! I thought i'd read somewhere that budgets had been finalised in January and then the Ospreys started panicking and they were delayed because of this. Surely we just go back to that now. If the Ospreys go pop so be it.
